#1- Cheesy Broccoli and Bacon Quiche

For Mother’s Day this year I made Cheesy Broccoli and Bacon Quiche for breakfast. A fluffy egg pie with broccoli, bacon, onion, Parmesan and Pepper Jack cheese. It’s a great way to start your day, whether it’s a special occasion or just a lazy weekend morning.

#2-Crab and Spring Pea Salad

Serve Crab and Spring Pea Salad with leafy lettuce, crisp crackers, and fresh slices of cucumbers. This is such a flavorful spring appetizer or light, bright spring meal!

#3- Cheesy Potatoes

No matter the occasion, Cheesy Potatoes are always requested and enjoyed by all. Tender potatoes and three kinds of cheese make them hard to resist.

#4- Copycat Wildfire Chicken Salad

This salad is a copycat recipe for Bob Evans’ sweet and spicy Wildfire Chicken Salad. It’s a combination of crunchy romaine lettuce, crispy fried chicken, sweet corn, ripe tomatoes, tortilla strips and cheddar cheese. And the BBQ Ranch Dressing is the perfect tangy touch to add to the salad to bring all the flavors together.

#5- Chocolate Scotcheroos

These crunchy, chocolatey treats are the perfect combination of butterscotch, chocolate and peanut butter. But best of all, Chocolate Scotcheroos require no baking, can be made ahead of time and travel well to any family gathering. Everyone will love these yummy bars! It’s one of the best recipes for Mother’s Day!

#6- Barbecue Chicken and Grilled Asparagus

Barbecue Chicken and Grilled Asparagus is an example of an easy meal that takes little preparation, but delivers a meal packed with flavor and homemade appeal! This 30-minute meal is a favorite in our home.

#7- Skillet Cornbread

My mother taught me how to make cornbread when I was 12 years old. And I’m not sure I’ve made it the same way twice. It depends on what I have on hand and what I’m serving it with. Sometimes I add chopped bacon or sliced green onions or shredded Cheddar. This time I added dollops of cream cheese to make this Skillet Cornbread creamy and sweet!

#8- 7 Layer Salad

7 Layer Salad is a classic chopped salad–a favorite for picnics, potlucks and family gatherings for years. Layers of chopped lettuce, veggies, bacon and cheese are covered with a creamy dressing to make a tasty salad.

#9- Creamy Coleslaw

Serve Creamy Coleslaw with fried chicken, sliced ham or crunchy fish for a tasty meal. It can be made ahead and complements almost any meal. Chopping your cabbage and carrots in the food processor makes the recipe super easy. Mix it together with the creamy dressing and you’ve got a bright, crunchy salad to serve with almost any main dish.

#10- Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble

Rhubarb is ready to pick in many gardens now or can be found at a local farmer’s market. Rhubarb is tart and colorful and used in many different desserts. I paired it with sweet strawberries to make this Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble.
