    Lessons from Mom. Breakfast in Bed Menu. And a Song.


    Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing, loving, dedicated, unsung heroes of the world: the moms! And a special Mother’s Day wish to my amazing mom who has always been an inspiring figure of strength, beauty, grace, creativity and love.

    Lessons from Mom. Lessons I’ve learned from my mom: never stop chasing whatever it is that inspires you. Follow your passion in life and move towards your bliss. Never settle, always laugh and try desperately to not take yourself too seriously in times of strife. Never be afraid to make changes to your life that may sound drastic or shocking to outsiders – you know yourself best. And never stop showing love to the ones you love. An “I Love You” is great, but an act of love and kindness speaks louder than words. What Have You Learned from Your Mom?

    Last lesson from mom…always request breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day. Here’s my modern Mother’s Day menu and a moving song from a friend…

    Mother’s Day Menu. My mom always requested the same thing on Mom’s Day: breakfast in bed with Earl Grey tea, fresh squeezed orange juice, toast with jam, eggs, bacon and fresh fruit.

    All my mom’s favorite Mother’s Day foods could easily get a modern vegan makeover. The madeover recipes are healthier for mom, better for the planet, just as tasty and a bit of a gourmet upgrade. Moms strive to feed their kids the best foods possible, so why not do the same for them? Here are a few of my menu inspirations:

    Saffron scented Tofu Scramble
    Tempeh Bacon
    Fresh Fruit, Seasonal or Mom’s Faves
    Sprouted Grain Toast with earth Balance Buttery Spread and/or fresh fruit jam
    Almond Butter and Banana Toast
    Goji Berry Chai Tea or Mom’s fave tea
    with agave syrup or maple syrup or raw honey
    AM Sunrise Juice, or classic fresh squeezed OJ
    Other Ideas:
    Tangerine French Toast
    Herb Mushroom Tofu Quiche
    Fresh Melon, Jazzed Up Recipes
    My mom’s fave muffin recipe of mine: Orange Glow Muffins



    Mom should be snuggled in bed, yummies served to her on a tray. No clean-up and lots of hugs. Yay moms. Fresh fleurs are a nice touch too.

    Mother’s Day Song. One of my oldest friends in the world is an amazing singer, songwriter and artist. She recently recorded this song which I thought was perfect for Mother’s Day. Here’s her song:

    You can download Sarah’s music on itunes, hear more on MySpace and if your in the Northern California area – be sure to check out one of her live shows or artwork showings on display. Sarah’s brand new music video is on
