amore materno/mother love

Mother's Day is this weekend and if you have been a reader of the blog, you know my mom is my heart. I hate that I am not with her this weekend (or all the time, for that matter), but she is having a wonderful time with 2 of her grandkids in California.

As the rest of you prepare for mom's special day, there are a couple of quick desserts you can think about making if you'd like.

Planning an afternoon tea? Lavender shortbread is a wonderful, not-to-sweet, and springy cookie to accompany finger sandwiches and herbal teas. I made this last weekend and was pleasantly surprised when a male friend of mine ate it up. To me, that makes it a dessert for all!

Don't feel like making a big cake? Strawberry shortcake always brings smiles. I posted this a long time ago when I talked about desserts I made while at the restaurant. It still remains one of my favorites and is a wonderful do ahead dessert. Make all the "parts" (biscuits, macerated strawberries, and cream), then its ready for quick assembly at dessert time. And, kids can help!

Last but not least...go down memory lane with mom over some milk and Soft, Chewy, Ooey, Gooey, Chocolate Chip Cookies. Its a wonderful way to chat about fun and/or special times and show mom you remember...you were paying attention even when it didn't seem like it.

Have wonderful weekend, everyone. And, to all you mom's - thank you for all you do! You inspire each and everyone of us.
