And how they’ve inspired our love of food. [Today On The Spruce]( [The Spruce Daily]( [Today On The Spruce]( [Today On The Spruce] [Lemon Heading Photo]( [How We’re Celebrating Our Mothers and Grandmothers With Food]( [Patty Lee]( This year’s hottest brunch spot in town is our very own homes. While we may not all be masters of [poached eggs]( and [French toast](, pulling together a small restaurant-quality celebration doesn’t need to be stressful. In our newest article about [celebrating while socially distancing](, writer and mom-of-two Hannah Selinger offers [these tips](: choose a dish that can be partially made ahead (like [crepes](), batch cocktails or [mocktails]( and—if bacon is a must—use [this oven method]( to make it hands off and splatter free. Our [springtime brunch menu]( offers a lot of inspiration that mom is sure to love, from a simple [smoked salmon scramble]( to [sky-high souffle pancakes](. Or maybe [dinner]( is the best showcase for all the spring things you’ve picked up at the market: [salmon]( is always a feels-fancy-but-easy-to-cook entree (these [sides]( will make it a complete meal), [asparagus]( is surprisingly versatile, and is there a more iconic seasonal pairing than [strawberry and rhubarb](? Of course, if you’re unable to visit your mom this year, as many of us are, there are lots of other ways to celebrate her with food. Sign her up for a food subscription box—whether she’s a [chocolate-lover](, a fan of a [good cup of joe](, or a [cheesemonger](, there’s a delivery service for every taste. Most of The Spruce Eats team won’t be able to see their moms and grandmothers in person tomorrow, but spending so much time in our kitchens lately has been a reminder of [how much they’ve taught us]( and where our love of food came from. My mom doesn’t love to cook (though she is a [dumpling](-folding master), but loves to eat and often took us out to try new restaurants. Looking back, there’s no doubt that those meals helped forge my adventurous palate. Do you have a favorite food memory with the mom(s) in your life? Is there a family recipe you crave and make over and over?
