Mother's Day Feast

This year for Mothers Day I wanted to treat the Mom's to a nice meal where they could relax and didn't have to do anything since they deserve it! We settled on coming over our house for brunch. I've never hosted a brunch before but boy was I looking forward to it. I quickly researched tons of recipes from my favorite website to prepare for the meal. I found so many I wanted to make it was hard to narrow it down, I really didn't do a good job narrowing it down either. I could have fed a small army with all the food I made, it was way too much for just 7 people but it was worth it.

I made so many different dishes from french toast, to eggs, to casseroles, baked goods and more. Most of the menu was inspired by Skinny Taste (of course) but there were a few other items on the menu as well. I don't think there was anything we were missing!
All of the food was so delicious. Everyone particularly enjoyed the Bananas Foster overnight French Toast and the overnight breakfast strata. I think those were the two biggest hits. The French toast really was incredible, I highly recommend that dish. But I also loved the mini zucchini quiches and the mini blueberry strudel muffins too. 

The men after Brunch passed out in their usual spots in a food coma downstairs. All of them sleeping on the couch as usual. My dad is sleeping too on the left althought you can't really see him.
We had such a great day. I can't wait to do it again next year.
Happy Mother's Day to the best Mom and Mother-in-Law a girl could ask for!!!
