What are your plans for Mother’s Day? hmm? If you’re a mom, do you cook for yourself or do you have little Mother’s Day elves around your house to cook for you?

We’ve lived away from family for so long that the idea of ​​spending Mother’s Day with our real mothers (who we love like crazy) wasn’t even on the radar.

My friends who split their time between Mother’s Day brunches and evening dinners and driving to see this mom and that mom and your mom and mine, well, I don’t know what that world is like. It sounds busy, stressful and wonderful all at the same time.

I don’t understand how people eat brunch on Mother’s Day. Do people do that? Really? Jeez, I should be clearer.

Mother’s Day is simple here. Brian, who wins every kind of award I know, takes over the kitchen for the day and lets me ask what food I want, and believe me, I don’t take it easy.

I think long and hard about what food I should breathe in for the Big Day. This year, I’m pretty sure it’s going to be this Beach Street Linguine (oh my delicious) coconut shrimp broth is one of my favorite dishes. Results! The stress of it all!

Seems like the safest thing to do is ask all three and see what happens, don’t you think?

While I’m not a big breakfast eater (usually a smoothie and a banana after working out), Mother’s Day is an exception.

Even though my internal alarm clock woke me up hours ago, the kids like to doodle around the kitchen, throwing breakfast together for me while I still pretend to be asleep in bed.

They walk in the room, lay down on plates of food and glasses of milk and juice (because I can’t agree on which to bring, so I grab both) and sit on my legs and make i enjoy everything . Bit.

It’s adorable, but I usually sneak some food under the lid when they’re not looking, because they bring enough to feed five moms.

While they haven’t taken breakfast requests in the past (I’ve been a little scared to bring breakfast for years, I’m not going to lie), this year, I’m sure my 9 year old will definitely an appearance with these Apple Cinnamon Waffles and her trusty dad.

We had them a few weeks ago (thanks, Bri, for the recipe!) and even my non-breakfast self has been dreaming of them ever since.

Talk about a perfect Mother’s Day breakfast or another indulgent breakfast. Maximum cinnamon flavor! Lightly Sweet Cinnamon Waffles are decorated with warm, sweet, cinnamon apples and a tangy cinnamon syrup.

I put this recipe under every Rugratin pillow. Hopefully they get the hint instead of thinking it’s a secretly coded message from the Tooth Fairy.

6. Serve with cinnamon apples and cinnamon syrup.

Notes

For the Cinnamon Apples: Feel free to increase the cinnamon depending on how much cinnamon flavor you like.
Apples + Sugar: Also, if you’re using a tart apple like Granny Smith, you may want to adjust the sugar (ie: kick it up a notch).
