With Mother’s Day right around the corner, I’m reminded of growing up in the Clive household where we would celebrate Mother’s Day in grand style. The day would usually start with my brother and I waking early to prepare a hearty homemade grilled brunch! Over the years both my parents shared with us their secrets at the grill, handing down tips and tricks that they grew up with. It was also most helpful that my dad knew the dishes that would make my mom ever so happy.
So, there we were in the backyard on a Mother’s Day morning whisking up eggs, grilling sausage, chopping herbs to create a spectacular sausage and pepper Strata hot off the grill. From there I’d neatly arrange on a breakfast tray all the food, juice and even a small vase with my mom’s favorite flowers before quietly walking upstairs to present her breakfast in bed.
To say that this made up for all the years of headaches my brother and I gave my mom would be an over statement but this recipe certainly helped.
