Kids love the idea of making breakfast for Mom on Mother’s Day! They sometimes need a little guidance from Mom or Dad though. These recipes and tips are perfect and will make everyone happy!
Easy Omelet in a Bag
*Hint: prepare the bag the night before so that it can be ready for Mom bright and early!
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons crumbled cooked bacon
- 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese (buy pre-shredding to make it even easier!)
- 2 teaspoons diced onion
- 1 teaspoon diced bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon sliced mushroom
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon ground paprika
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pinch salt
Directions:
- Put all ingredients in a resealable sandwich bag; seal. Shake vigorously until thoroughly mixed. Squeeze out any excess air and reseal.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place bag in the boiling water; cook until egg is completely cooked, about 13 minutes. Remove bag using tongs or a large strainer (be careful!). Carefully open bag and roll omelet onto a plate.
Fruit Bowl:
Have children slice up strawberries and melon the night before Mother’s Day. They can mix them with blueberries, grapes, and any other of Mom’s favorite fruit. Store in a plastic container or zip lock. In the morning, they can put them into a bowl and add a dollop of whipped cream. Yum!
Baked Pancakes:
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Put butter in a 9-inch pie pan. Place pan in the preheating oven until butter is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk flour, milk, eggs, white sugar, and salt together in a bowl; pour mixture into the hot butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until pancake is brown on the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
- Top with sliced peaches, berries, or syrup.
Items to buy that will help make breakfast even easier:
- Fully cooked bacon
- Ready to bake cinnamon rolls

Enjoy a wonderful Mother's Day!
