We’re getting close to a very important holiday: Mother’s Day! There are so many amazing moms in my life, I’m lucky to have not only a superstar mom, but also an amazing mother-in-law, two spit-fire grandmothers, and a tribe of mom-friends that I truly could not survive motherhood without. It is lovely to be celebrated as Jane’s mom – the best job in the world – and I think it’s also a perfect day to show gratitude to the larger hive of moms that surrounds our life – there are so many wonderful women that deserve to be thanked and celebrated!
I was brainstorming ways to celebrate moms with my friends at Fancypants Baking Co, and came up with an ideas for a Mother’s Day dinner-in-a-basket idea for an easy way to give mom the night off and take care of everything (doing the dishes should certainly be included!). I filled the Mother’s Day gift basket with some homemade ingredients for easy assembly – fresh pasta, my go-to pasta sauce and good parmesan cheese, a bunch of kale and my favorite homemade salad dressing, and a big crusty baguette.
For dessert, I filled the basket with Fancypants Baking Co’s Lemon Ginger cookies. They have a bright, crisp flavor that’s a refreshing way to end a savory meal. I like to pair them with a cup of tea or an ice-cold glass of rosé! All the Fancypants Baking Co cookies are made in a peanut and tree-nut free facility so they’re a great choice for entertaining. On top of being allergy friendly, they’re made with fresh, wholesome, mindfully sourced ingredients, and free of artificial colors and flavors – just the good stuff!
Tuck in some fresh spring flowers to finish off the gift basket and wrap it up with some festive ribbon for a sweet way to celebrate the moms in your life!
