Mother's Day started with a brunch consisting of our favorite (at home) French toast (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Creme-Brulee-French-Toast-15213). J made this the night before and even "went for it" by using the half n half as the recipe calls for (normally, I'll either do whole milk or some combo of low fat milk and half and half). That and some fresh juiced OJ from oranges in our backyard (and juiced by S!). Topped off with some fresh steamed asparagus and some fresh strawberries and blueberries from the Farmer's market that morning. mmm.
Dinner was late but tasty... J BBQ'd some lamb chops (one of my favorites) and I have to say he did a fabulous job. I put together a quick marinade/basting sauce of olive oil, fresh rosemary, fresh mint, pressed garlic, and salt. With no recipe! Along with the lamb chops we had roasted potatoes and kale salad (http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Lacinato-Kale-and-Ricotta-Salata-Salad-236940) - one of our go-to green side dishes. Some fresh peaches and cherries and also a sugar cookie from the Farmer's market and I'd count that as a great Mother's Day fest.
