Men: Pamper mom in your life with meal
OK, men, this one’s for you.
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 10, so take this opportunity to show all the mothers in your lives how much you value what they do.
As a mother, daughter and granddaughter, I can tell you one of the nicest things you can do for that special mom in your life is to let her have the day off, which in theory is a major bargain because it doesn’t have to cost anything.
However, a giftless Mother’s Day may land you in the dog house, so opt for an indulgent, budget-friendly treat that will remind her how much you appreciate her.
So dads, sons, grandsons, brothers, uncles, cousins — all of you males out there — get busy.
A home-cooked (or even a store bought, yet thoughtfully served) breakfast in bed will surely delight.
Brandii Lacey, BellaOnline’s Cooking for Kids editor (bellaonline.com/articles/art38519.asp), offers the following recipe for an easy, inexpensive slow-cooker breakfast casserole layered with eggs, potatoes, ham and cheese.
Make it the night before and you’ll have a great head start on your meal. Bonus — there are easy recipes for banana-stuffed French toast and sour cream coffeecake on the same page.
To round out the festivities, decorate her tray with flowers, a small gift and cards from you and the kids.
By helping your little ones make a card, you’ll be teaching them the importance of being thoughtful and saving money.
And don’t forget to clean up. Nothing says “I love you” like a man who will do the dishes.
Slow-cooker breakfast casserole Ingredients: 12 eggs 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese (any flavor will do) 1 pound deli ham, diced 1 package frozen hash browns cup onions, fresh or frozen 1 cup milk 2 teaspoons salt 2 teaspoons pepper Directions: Spray the bottom of slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Beat the eggs and milk in a large bowl, add salt and pepper, and set aside. Add one layer of hash browns to the slow cooker, sprinkle cheese over the hash browns. Add half of the diced ham, followed by another layer of cheese. Sprinkle the diced onions over the cheese and add the remaining ham. Pour the egg mixture over all of the ingredients. Cook on low 8-10 hours.
