There is a woman, she cradled you, comfort you and encourage you all her life. Who is she? Of course, that's our great mothers!
Mothers have devoted themselves to taking good care of the children as soon as they were born. They work hard to give the children a comfortable life. Nowadays, when they grow older and older while we become stronger and stronger, we should know that it's our time to care for our mother now!
So when Mother's Day rolls around on May 9, roll up your sleeves and make friends with your mixing bowls and oven. A dinner treat with love is a wonderful means to express your love to your mom.
And don't fret. Cakes and pies from scratch aren't difficult but are much more special than one from a box mix.
"Nothing beats homemade for taste, freshness and quality," notes Linda Collister, author of "Sweet Treats Just Like My Mother Used to Bake", a new cookbook filled with eye candy and easy-to-follow recipes that'll knock mom's socks off.
Say, a carrot cake iced with lemony cream-cheese frosting (divine). Or a moist chocolate cake crowned with sugared violets (so pretty). Or, totally out of the box, a tangy Key lime pie smothered with a cloud of cream (more, please).
A couple tools to make the job easier: a reliable oven thermometer and a timer. Accuracy counts when you bake.
When you whip up a special-occasion delight you're fashioning more than a delicious confection. You're making memories, says Collister.
She knows first-hand. She recalls the first time her children surprised her with a Mother's Day breakfast in bed (the cakes came when the kids were a little older).
"They must have been about 3 and 6 years old," she says. "They each made me a card and picked a daffodil from the garden. Priceless."
All in all, it's your time to do something for your mother now! A Mother's Day treat is strongly recommended.
