This special day celebrates mothers, motherhood, and maternal bonds and honors the special relationship that is responsible for so many positive contributions to our society. Show your mother or wife how much she means to you with a scrumptious Bacon and Ham Quiche.
Serve your mother or wife a delicious mothers day recipe this coming Sunday!
Initial attempts at establishing the holiday in the United States were to honor the mothers who had lost or were at the risk of losing their sons at war. Mother’s Day became an official holiday on May 8, 1914 when the U.S. Congress passed a law designating the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. Today Mother’s Day is one of the most commercially successful and popular American holidays. Traditions for Mother’s Day include sending greeting cards, going to church, distributing flowers, and getting together for family dinners.
Family meals can take the place of gift giving in many mothers minds. While I don’t advocate forgoing gift giving on Mother’s Day, I do want to stress how important it is to get together with your mother for a family meal using a special Mothers Day recipe. Depending on your age, your mother has cooked your meals for you for a large fraction of your life. This Mother’s Day, after you’ve given her flowers and/or a card, have your mother over for a home cooked meal of Bacon and Ham Quiche. Show her just how much she means to you by taking care of her on her special day. To help I’ve listed a few recipes below to help you make your mother feel loved. Bon apetit, and have a great Mother’s Day with your mom and loved ones!
