With Mother’s Day right around the corner, it’s important to start planning out how you’ll celebrate the big day. More than a few restaurants are running Mother’s Day specials, but sometimes the best treat is a home-cooked meal. The perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day is an at-home brunch cooked with plenty of love.
So when it comes to brunch, what’s the best way to spice things up? If you’re a fan of coffee and Bloody Marys, this recipe is the ideal way to kick off your Mother’s Day; a “Morning Mary.” Although it might sound a little off-putting combining tomato juice and coffee, this is one of those recipes you must try before making a final judgment. It may surprise you just how perfect these two brunch delicacies combine.
