Whether you’re cooking for your mom or bringing a dish to share, here are some of my favorite, most-requested recipes for gatherings. Wishing you a happy Mother’s Day—enjoy!
SIDES & SALADS
Mom’s Famous Potato Salad – This recipe earned a spot in my cookbook because it’s simply excellent. I’m not a mayonnaise person, so I love that this creamy, zesty potato salad relies on extra virgin olive oil and mustard. It’s a versatile side that pairs well with almost any meal.
Bridger’s Favorite Salad – A crowd-pleaser every time. The combination of goat cheese, seasonal fruit, crunchy nuts, and a balsamic dressing is hard to beat.
RGE Cobb Salad – You can’t go wrong with a classic. This one happens to be my mom’s favorite.
SWEETS
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Bread – Ideal for a Mother’s Day brunch or wrapped up as a thoughtful homemade gift.
PB Swirl Brownies – Decadent in flavor, yet made without refined sugar and using pantry-friendly ingredients—perfect when you want something indulgent but simple.
Cookies make wonderful gifts or desserts to share. Try my Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chai Chocolate Chip Cookies, or my Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies.
If you’re unsure what to make, serve a warm skillet dessert. A hot cookie skillet with a scoop of ice cream always impresses—try my original Cookie Skillet or the rich Chocolate Tahini Cookie Skillet.
