    Mother's Day Brunch Tips

    1. Plan your menu ahead of time. You can prepare a lot of these recipes in advance (especially all the baked goods), and store them in an airtight container for a few days at room temperature or longer in the refrigerator. Some of the brunch or breakfast items can also be made much further in advance and frozen, according to recipe directions.
    2. Prep your ingredients. If you aren't able to make something completely in advance (I hear you, muffins and cookies just taste different fresh out of the oven) then prepare as much as you can ahead of time, whether that is chopping ingredients, making a dough, or prepping the dish and storing in the refrigerator until ready for the oven. Any little bit that you can prepare in advance will make things go much more smoothly and stress-free.
    3. Set the table the night before. Take out the fancy plates, mugs, flatware, placemats, and napkins and set the table the night before. It's one less thing to worry about on Mother's Day.
