What I'm Baking for Mother's Day

Five recipes for a particularly meaningful celebration. [King Arthur Flour]( Sunday Recipe Inspiration Batch 338 [Hero Recipe: Easiest Waffles]( This year, Mother's Day is particularly meaningful for me. It's my first one as a new mom (I'm sitting here with a five-week-old baby in my lap!). It 's impossible to know how your world will change with a newborn: how much I'd fall in love with him and how sweet his soft skin would smell, but also how endless the diaper changes feel and how sleep suddenly becomes a delicious indulgence snatched in tiny wedges between half-awake feedings. Whether or not you are juggling a tiny newborn, I think you 'll find today's recipes useful, too. They're the ones I've been turning to for maximum comfort and nourishment with minimal effort and supplies. A good recipe these days for me requires few dishes and little hands-on work. This is not the time for multiple steps or tricky methods! Extra points if a recipe makes a big batch that freezes well, like our [easiest waffles](, or uses one bowl, like these [quick and easy fudge brownies](. As much as I'd like to spend hours with my hands in bread dough, I've got another little loaf to tend to! So I'm turning to quick breads. [Classic beer bread]( makes excellent toast to go with my morning eggs. [Skillet cornbread]( comes together in minutes — only requiring some quick whisking — and is a very good snack alongside soup or salad. If you're really craving yeasted bread, this [no-fuss focaccia]( will blow your mind (it's true). Just beat all the ingredients together for 60 seconds in a mixer, pour it into a pan, and let it rise for one hour. That's it! It bakes into a fluffy, golden, yeasted dream of a bread. I'll sign off now, warm focaccia in one hand, and a warm baby in the other.
