Mother's Day Brunch

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mommies out there. This year unfortunately I am not with my mother today, but she is on my mind. In honor of her I would like to share our last mother's day brunch menu with everyone because it was a good one.
It was a beautiful day, we ate outside on the patio. I decorated the table with fresh daises and set the table with a combination of green fiesta ware and depression glass.

Helpful hints and reminders . . .
*Any time you are making waffles or pancakes and working to get everything to come out on time you need to keep the oven warm and place prepared waffles in as you go working in batches. Everyone, especially mom, needs a hot waffle.
*Be sure to take the butter out of the fridge ahead of time so it is not rock hard.
* Make the coffee first and cool before pouring over ice, you can also use coffee ice cubes so you don't get all watered down. I used organic milk in this batch. trust me its good.
*Use your favorite recipe for waffles ( I used one from Cooks Illustrated) and add chopped candied pecans to the batter as cooking.
