When I asked my mother if she’d like me to make a brunch reservation for Mother’s Day, she waved me off and told me not to bother. (She’s a simple woman, really.) This puts me in a bit of a sticky situation. My mom is hard to shop for, so this comprehensive list that ShopTalk editor Raya Ramsey created does me no good, either. I guess this means I’m making brunch instead. Here are some recipes that I’ve been mulling over.

Sugar buns from Seven Spoons

If your mom is into sweets…

This cinnamon french toast by smittenkitchen looks nice and easy. You can roll out of bed late and have this on the table by 11 AM. Yes, yes, and yes.

Plus, these little sugar buns from Seven Spoons make me want to curl up in Sugar Heaven, wherever that may be.

Buckwheat and spelt crepes from Cookie + kate

If your mom likes it savory…

Look at these buckwheat and spelt crepes from Cookie + Kate. I can’t take my eyes off them. Can you?

And palate/palette/plate has this wonderful spinach frittata with caramelized onions. Oh goodness… I don’t know how to choose anymore. This mushroom quiche recipe from smittenkitchen is definitely not helping.

Iced chai tea latte from Big Girls, Small Kitchen

For the drinks…

When you combine the words “chai” and “latte,” I’m sold. I don’t know why those two words make my knees go weak, but they do. Here’s a recipe for iced chai tea latte from Big Girls, Small Kitchen.

Or maybe your mom needs a little pick-me-up for Mother’s Day, so perhaps Saveur’s back porch tea with white peach, 1.5 oz gin, and seltzer will do the trick.

If not, go to our list of 37+ restaurants with menus, prices, and phone numbers.

In any case, I’ve tried to make this Mother’s Day reeeeally easy for you. Just take a look at this convenient list of Mother’s Day restaurants, pick up a phone, and dial. It’s that simple.

Click here for the entire list.

1) It took a long time for your mom to raise you. (For some of you, it took longer than 18 years…)

2) Yo momma had to put up with that Backstreet Boys cd played on repeat, the pink hair dye, the girlfriend who sucked up all the air in the room, and other horrible youthful decisions you want to forget.

To thank her for staying your mom throughout these years, take that nice lady out to brunch. I’ve compiled a list of restaurants right here. All you have to do is pick up the phone and call – simple as that. I’ll keep updating as more restaurants send in their menus, so keep checking back.

For the wine lover:

The Moet and Chandon Brut Rose Imperial NV is always a great go to bubbly with a burst of great strawberry, raspberry layered with a hint of rose water.  Elegant and crisp with thousands of tiny bubbles.  Priced at about $60 a bottle and available at most Goody-Goody locations (I saw it at the Greenville store last week.)

Miner Napa Valley Chardonnay is always a great representation of a classic Napa Valley Chardonnay, without too much oak.  A good balance of crisp green apple, stone fruit and spice with a creamy elegance. Sigel’s locations throughout Dallas carry Miner Family Wines exclusively.  The Chardonnay retails for around $30 a bottle.

Veramonte Ritual Pinot Noir from Chile is intensely dense and rich with blackberry fruit aromas followed by wild flowers and  cola.  Chile is producing a number of Pinot Noir options and though not as refined as some from the states or Burgundy, they are bold with big fruit forward flavors.  Available at Pogo’s for about $30 a bottle.

Domaine Serene Evanstad Reserve Pinot Noir is a lush, structured and consistent award winning Pinot Noir from the heart of Willamette Valley.  Filled with black cherry, ripe raspberry, violet and earth with a hint of sweet baking spices on the finish from the 18 month aging in 67% new French oak.  A very drinkable and balanced wine.  Available at Centennial Liquors on Preston and on Lover’s for about $60 a bottle.

For the spirits lover (both available at Goody Goody locations around town):

A bottle of Grey Goose is an easy decision for a vodka lover, but why not add a twist with a Grey Goose L’Orange with clean orange flavors.  So many flavored vodkas are almost syrupy and overly sweet, Grey Goose keeps it natural and clean, enhancing the pure elegance of their vodka without masking the flavor of the spirit.

Corzo Silver Tequila is beautifully presented in a bottle created by French designer Fabien Baron known for his perfume bottle designs.  Inside, the luxurious tequila is created through triple distillation using the twice the blue agave of most tequilas.  The spirit is smooth and clean with tropical fruit, pepper and spice flavors on the palate.

For the gadget lover:

I have had two wine gifts lately that I truly love.  I am not a bit gadget person, but both of these really work.

The Ravi Wine Chiller – Simply keep the attachment in the freezer then place over your glass and pour room temperature white wine through the chiller and you will instantly chill your room temp wine. Perfect if you are in the mood for a bottle of wine that you forgot to chill.  Available at Bed, Bath and Beyond for about $40.

Vinturi Wine Aerator – It took me a little longer to adapt to using this aerator, preferring to decant a whole bottle into a decanter.  The nice element of this gadget is that you can decant a bottle one glass at a time, perfect if you don’t plan on drinking a whole bottle and the clean up is much easier than cleaning a decanter. Also available at Bed, Bath and Beyond for about $40.

I am proud to be the proud mama of a perfect little Jack Russell/Shitzu named Yoda…yes…Yoda.  Yoda man is a huge fan of icy cold Ozarka, so that is what he’ll be drinking this weekend, and he loves to see his mama toast a tasty glass of wine on a special day. 
Wine and cocktail options seem endless in celebration of Mother’s Day, so here are a few options to try as you raise a glass (or have one raised to you) in honor of your special day.   
Some of these have been sent for editorial consideration, some I just love.

In honor of my own mother, a perfect Cosmo, slightly updated.  Instead of plain cranberry try it with just a splash of pomegranate juice (we love good antioxidants with vodka), a splash of soda, squeeze of lime and Cranberi Stoli.

One of my favorite moms and friend is Ellen Winspear.  She and her 4 legged punkin, Russy, are always up for a glass of bubbly. 
In honor of another great mother, try a little Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin.  The Widow Clicquot was one of the first to modernize Champagne in France and proved that a woman can be an adoring, devoted mother and powerful business woman.  Vueve is a radiant sparkler filled with fruit and toast, wrapped in tiny bubbles, everything the Widow wanted.

For Mother’s Day Brunch try a few whites that are both light enough to be enjoyed during the day, yet filled with structure and nice balance to pair with a meal. 

Franciscan Chardonnay- A true Napa Chardonnay, filled with tart apple, honey and baked pear, wrapped around  vanilla and cream.  Fermented in small oak barrels using wild yeast strains, this is a rich and elegant Chardonnay that would be a nice accompaniment to a classic roast chicken.

St Francis Sonoma Chardonnay- Filled with bright citus fruit like lemon peel and orange, witha good balance of both acid and creamy, toasty flavors from full malolactic fermentation and 6 months of French and American oak barrel aging.  I find Chardonnay from Sonoma (especially Russian River, where 65% of these grapes come from) have a very distinct flavor profile, filled with crisp flavors from fruit cooled by morning fog from the Pacific.  This would be a nice option with smoked salmon or grilled fish with a lemon butter sauce.

La Linda Unoaked Chardonnay- From one of Argentina’s premier wine making families and made from grapes grownn in the shadows of the Andes Mountains, this unoaked Chardonnay is crisp, bright and dry white with hints of apple, peach and citrus, layered with herbs and mineral notes.  This is a great wine to enjoy with creamy cheese like goat or brie as its crisp acidity can cut through, while enhancing, the flavors.

Adelsheim Pinot Gris- From one of Willamette Valley, Oregon’s original wine houses Adelsheim, highlights the European origins and influences in their Pinot Gris.  From Alsace, to Burgundy, to Fruili and Alto Adige, Pinot Gris is grown and bottled with influences to highlight the grape and let it do its own thing without messing with it too much.  Adelsheim’s 2008 is their 25th vintage, making them the 3rd oldest New World producer of Pinot Gris in the world.  Their contribution is filled with floral aromas, with pear and peach.  The wine is light, crisp and easy drinking and would be a nice pairing with sushi or ceviche.

If you are looking a red option that would pair with a late afternoon brunch or early dinner, or you are the Mom that drinks red any time of the day, give these a try:

Quivira Grenache - Grenache is a grape grown around the world, and many countries have their own name for it from France’s Grenache, to Spain’s Garnacha to Sardinia’s Cannonau.  The reason being is that it is one of the most versitle grapes grown widely throughout the world.   Often used as a blending grape (especially in Rhone blends, or Australian GSM blends of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre), Grenache thrives in hot, dry climates producing a spicy, strawberry and raspberry filled wine.  Quivira’s is aged in large oak casks for 15 months rounding out the flavors of the wine with additional layers of cedar and toast.  This wine would be beautiful with a roasted duck breast or peppered pork tenderloin.

Selvapiana “Bucerchiale” Chianti Rufia Reserva DOCG - 100% single vineyard Sangiovese from vines planted in the late 1960’s in the middle to Tuscany.  Selvapiana has been producing wine for 181 years in eastern Florence.  Their wine is expressive, hearty and intensely Italian.  The Bucerchiale does have a bit of a tannic bite from 25 days of leaving the juice on the grape skins during fermentation, but this is softened by 15 months of aging in medium size oak casks, blended in steel tanks and then held for 10 months in the bottle prior to release.

Freestone Fog Dog Pinot Noir- Freestone is the sister to Napa’s Joseph Phelps Winery, and located near the California coast on the northern most point of Sonoma County.  Fog Dog is filled with dried cherry and strawberry, with sweet spice and tea.  This is very representative of California Pinot Noir with lots of fruit, but this has hint of some of the earthy, mushroom characteristics that I love in Pinot Noir.

On April 24 from 12-4:00 p.m., Tart Bakery will offer complimentary tastings of their savory menu items just in time for Mother’s Day. A few of the items are pictured above. The rest of the story is below. Go.

For Mothers’ Day, Tart also has some fun gift ideas for those who want to steer clear of the cheesy coffee mugs and grocery store flowers:

• Mothers’ Day Gift Basket: Choose a custom mix of mom’s favorite treats and add a “Hot Mama” apron and beautiful plates and platters from French Bull. Tart can wrap it up beautifully in colorful packaging.
• Tiffany Nesting Boxes: If you can’t afford the jewelry, fill each size Tart Tiffany-style box with treats,  both savory and sweet, to show mom you love her just as much! Tart will stack them up and wrap them up and Voila!, a beautiful, thoughtful gift for mom.
• Savory Brunch Assortment: Want to give mom breakfast in bed but lack the skills and/or the time? Pick up some of Tart’s delicious new savory items like quiche, cheese balls, dips and spreads. Tart can arrange them on a colorful French Bull platter.
• Flowers & Sweets: If you must give flowers, go for Tart’s Cake Bouquet featuring a 6-inch cake with Dr. Delphinium’s flowers. Choose between six delicious cake flavors and any flower assortment.
