One of our favourite Mother’s Day traditions is to enjoy Mother’s Day breakfast or brunch at home. It’s a pleasure to cook and entertain guests in our beautiful custom kitchen.
Here are a couple of our family’s recipes. The watermelon salad might surprise you — but it’s an ideal treat in the hot weather we’ve been having lately.
