With Mother’s Day and Father’s Day just around the corner, now is a great time to start thinking about ways to celebrate the amazing parents in our lives. A thoughtful gift or a heartfelt message is always appreciated, but in our experience, nothing says “I love you” quite like a home-cooked meal. Whether your parents prefer to wake up to breakfast in bed, or a picnic lunch is more their style, these recipes are sure to make them feel loved and cherished on their special day. Here are a few of our favorites.
Breakfast Tacos
Say goodbye to plain old omelets and mix things up with these fun and flavorful breakfast tacos. The combination of scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage, and avocado and salsa make for a satisfying and easy-to-customize meal any parent is sure to enjoy.
Healthy Chocolate Pancakes
You may be surprised to see “healthy” and “chocolate pancakes” in the same recipe, but you read that correctly — these pancakes are high in protein and fiber, but you’d never guess based on how chocolatey they taste. Top with fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup to create a nutritious and delicious breakfast in bed.
Easy Pasta Salad
If your Mother’s or Father’s Day plans involve a picnic, we highly recommend including this pasta salad in your basket. It’s full of fresh, summery ingredients like cherry tomatoes and basil and can be made vegan or gluten-free with just a few simple changes.
