Let’s be honest; nobody is more awesome than Mom. Here at the VNHQ, that blanket statement is especially accurate, as we’re fairly obsessed with our own superstar mothers. One staffer’s mom has become a dedicated family recipe veganizer, while another mom flew halfway across the country for a surprise, much-needed visit. Because we love moms, and because none of us would be here without them, we’re pretty excited to celebrate Mother’s Day. Spring is the perfect time of year to honor her, and with these recipes, tips, and tricks from VegNews and VegWeb.com editors, planning the perfect, seasonal party is a breeze. Whether serving vegan breakfast in bed or afternoon brunch, these mouthwatering midday dishes will warm your mom’s heart and maybe even spark an interest in vegan cooking—assuming she’s not already a pro. Peruse our tips and holiday deals for the best ways to say, “You’re the best, Mom.” Most importantly, just enjoy spending time with your mom, because really, the pleasure of her company is what it’s all about. Happy Mother’s Day! Since Mom never let you forget that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, why not return the favor by treating her to a light and fresh brunch fit for a queen. We’ve scoured our library of 15,000+ vegan recipes to find the dishes that will make Mother proud.

Shopping for Mom can be tough, especially if she’s too modest to drop hints—not that we’d ever do that. It may sound tacky—and mom’s love tacky, right?—but the gifts that mean the most are the thoughtful, heartfelt kind. If your mom loves fresh-cut flowers, send her a bouquet brimming with lilies or lavender. Other special gifts, such as a perfectly planned spring picnic or a relaxing spa vacation, can be just as meaningful without all the wrapping paper. Whatever the plan, leave the details to us. With these tips and tricks, we’ve taken the guesswork out of gifting.
