Breakfast in bed for Mom!

All Moms get breakfast in bed tomorrow, right? At least that's what I expect every year.... I love it! Here are a few ideas to send on to your kids and hubby.

Whole Wheat Blender Pancakes
Mmmmm.... these are so yummy!

Place in a blender at high speed for 2-3 minutes:
1 1/2 c. milk
1 c. wheat (uncooked)

Add the following and blend 1 minute more:
1 egg
1 t. salt
1/3 c. oil
3/4 t. baking powder
2 T. sugar or honey (I recommend honey!)

Cook on hot griddle. Serve with your favorite toppings.

I make a few variations on this recipe. My blender broke, so I grind the wheat and then let it soak in the milk for about 10 minutes. This prevents crunchy pancakes! I also use powdered eggs and powdered milk- it's extra economical and no one can tell the difference.


Quiche Lorraine
Another favorite of mine and a fantastic idea for Mom!

Make or buy a pastry for a single-crust pie

If you make your own pastry, line the unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 5 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 5-7 minutes more or until pastry is nearly done. Remove from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.

Meanwhile, cook 6 slices of bacon and set aside.

Also mix together:

3 beaten eggs
1 1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper

Toss together:
1 1/2 c. shredded Swiss cheese
1 T. all-purpose flour

Add the cheese mixture to the egg mixture and pour into the warm pie shell. Bake in the 325 degree oven for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If needed, cover the edges of the pie crust with foil to prevent overbrowning. Let stand for 10 minutes.
