Happy Be-Lated Mother’s Day! Yesterday I spent all morning in the kitchen preparing a wonderful Mother’s Day brunch for my Mom and G-Ma.  We had originally planned to go on a picnic however when snow, yes SNOW was predicted for the weekend we decided to bring the party inside. It was just as well because I love to cook up a feast for everyone.

Roasted Apple Scones

Tomato Basil Scones which were served up with a Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Scallion Spread

Baked Sweet Potato Hash and Homemade Tempeh Bacon

Mushroom and Onion Tofu Scramble

Mustard Greens Salad with Radishes, Tomatoes & Cucumbers with Italian Dressing

A lovely fruit plate that my momma brought

Everyone loved the food and even went back for seconds-that’s always a good sign or they were just being polite.

After we ate I gave my Mom and G-Ma their gifts which included these cute Okabashi sandals for my mom.

“Okabashi was founded in 1984 to produce, sell and distribute quality, healthy footwear in the United States. Every shoe, sandal and flip flop we produce is carefully designed for both personal and environmental wellness. As you look at our sandals, flip flops and shoes, look for the features of each product while noting that every one is made in USA and comes with a two year guarantee! Back in 1984, there were many other companies making footwear in the USA; Okabashi is the only one left that mass produces sandals and flip flops, and we are growing.”

I actually received these sandals as a sample however unfortunately they were about a centimeter too short for me so I decided that they would be great for my mom.  They are so comfortable and did I mention you can wash them in the dishwasher? I know I am not sure why I would but it’s a fun fact! I really was tempted to wear them a little short but since these ones didn’t fit me the Hubz said that I should give them to my momma and I could order myself a pair….in the next size up of course!

Q: What did you do for Mother’s Day?
