This recipe is probably the easiest “fancy” dessert you could ever make.

This recipe makes just two muffins: one for you, and one for your mom!
Big Fat Coconut Breakfast Cake
This cake-like bread would go perfectly with a breakfast scramble and tall glass of orange juice.
Chocolate Strawberry Truffle Pie
Do you want a show-stopping fancy dessert that looks like it took hours to make but can really be prepared in just 5 minutes? This is the one to try!
Flourless Chocolate-Chip Cookies
This is one of my mother’s personal favorite recipes, so I had to include it on here!
Your mom will never guess the secret ingredient.
This recipe is my mom’s #1 all-time favorite recipe on my entire blog!
Question of the Day:
What is the best thing about your mother?
After telling me, be sure to go tell her if you can.
The BEST thing about my mom is her ability to endure – she’s been through a hard divorce (which is still affecting us), and she’s been strong throughout my chronic illness. She’s been supportive and a source of hope for me. I couldn’t thank her enough for that. 🙂
great post!! unfortunately my mom is several hundred miles away, so i won’t be able to make her breakfast on mother’s day this year, but hopefully some day! i would have to say the best thing about my mom is her big hugs, encouraging words, and comforting voice. she’s my best friend!
Ashley, you could make her something & ship it 🙂 I got that idea from my mother-in-law who sent her sister some Blue Bell Ice Cream in a different state where it’s not available. She packed it in dry ice. It would definetly be a big surprise!
The best thing about my mother is that she cares about me and will do anything for me… No matter how mean I am to her! THAT is true love 🙂
Thanks for the amazing recipes. Your mother must be SO proud!
That breakfast jelly roll looks to die for Yummmm
The best thing about my mother is she always listens. I can complain … a lot. She’s always there. And she has so much on her plate – I don’t know how she does it all!
I love that my mother thinks she’s hilarious, and most of the time I’m the only one who gets her jokes!
I am not a big fan of round-ups, so I appreciate your cutting them down. I think just having them once in awhile is a good balance. I do notice that bloggers tend to do holiday round ups really late. I plan all my recipes usually a week or so in advance so that’s something to keep in mind with holidays. Happy Mother’s day to your mom!
While everyone’s opinion are always appreciated, perhaps you do not have to read the round-ups when they are posted?? Round-ups are invaluable to new readers. When you get to a blog like this one, it can be overwhelming for a newbie to try and go through everything. Round-ups can easily navigate new readers to awesome recipes that are similar to the ones they are looking at and looking for. And we also have to keep in mind this is a FREE blog? We must be so appreciative of the invaluable information people like Katie provide us at no cost out of our own pockets. Just my humble two cents.

I, too am not a HUGE fan of roundups either. But i don’t hate them either. I do appreciate you cutting them down due to reader feedback. But holiday ones like this are super helpful. I guess for newbies it is helpful and for oldies like me (that doesn’t sound quite right) to refresh our memory
VERY well-said, anonymous!
I find it disheartening that people think they have the right to critique what Katie wants to put up. They should be grateful for the hard work she puts into her blog, as they’re not paying a single cent to get access to any of her recipes! She could easily take all the recipes down and put up e-books, or save them all for a cookbook. People need to remember that the sun does not rise and set with them and that Katie should do what makes HER happy.
It just sounds greedy to say one is not a fan of something on a blog where they’re not a paying customer. If you don’t like a certain post, come back another day. It’s not like you can be angry that you’re wasting your money, because no one is charging you.
Yes! This! As someone (not me) wrote on CCK’s facebook page: “It’s hard to fathom that anyone would write you and criticize you for something you do for them for *free*~~the world has gotten so full of itself~~”
Well….. I wasn’t criticizing her at all and I don’t think (not sure) that bitt was either. I was just stating my preference. As a (very) long time reader, I am totally grateful for her work as I have an autistic brother with a strict diet wich is difficult to cook for. ANd I’m sure that bloggers appreciate a little feedback. And then the best of bloggers, like Katie, care so much that they respond to it. And she said many of her readers said so, and she’s the type of person i think who is happy by making her readers happy. Not that I’m not happy roundup post or not. Like I said, no biggie for me. I personally have never told her to cut back. I always felt its her blog but I love that
she took reader’s opinions into consideration.
Just sayin’ 🙂 And looking back, that was A LOT of sayin’.
Oh Sarah, I appreciate your feedback so much. I want to make all my readers happy, but obviously that’s never going to happen. So making the ones who take time to comment happy is what I really hope to do. Please never worry about saying what you think :).
AMEN! I actually agree…I really like the roundups…but I am fairly new to the blog, so maybe that is the difference.
*late (whoops typo sorry!)
Oh no! 🙁
I actually like the recipe round-up posts. As a new-ish reader to your blog, they help me find recipes I hadn’t seen before. Please keep them up!!!
I can’t be the only one who likes them, can I??
Katie,
I really like the round ups too.
Please don’t change just because of a few people. Like Lisa, I am betting that many more people than not DO appreciate the rounds ups and the hard work it takes to make them. I think once a week is fine: it’s not overwhelming and gives time for new recipe posts, but at the same time it shows new readers some great recipes they might’ve missed.
LONG LIVE THE ROUND UPS!
“LONG LIVE THE ROUNDUPS”- i love that !
I like the round-ups too- I get to see new recipes 🙂
Loving the round ups as well. 🙂 I love all your little comments on each photo and it’s really nice to revisit old recipes or have a specific collection to check out.
I actually appreciate the round ups. As a new (1month ish?) follower there are so many recipes on your site that are new to me. Sometimes I just sit and read through lists of previous recipes. This gives me a fresh list complete with pictures of things I may want to try. Starting with that jelly roll. Yum!
I agree. I’m a new reader too, and it’s easier for me to see your old posts as round ups rather than go searching on my own. That’s how I found my new favorite snack, the chocolate chip cookie dough balls! 🙂
I agree with these two. I love going through old posts looking for recipes, but round-ups are a nice way to discover new recipes. Either way I have been happy with everything that I have made from your site.
Strange, I like the round-ups! I like bookmarking posts that have many recipes in them. It saves me time 😉 And the peach breakfast cobbler is to die for!
The best thing about my mom is her ability to stay neutral in the family. She’s always on everyone’s side.
Good to know about the peach cobbler…I keep meaning to try it!
my mom is one of the hardest workers I know! but still makes time for our family. All these sound great!
