The thing is that you will have to get up early to prepare the meals for her. But, the effort will totally pay off and you will leave your mother impressed. Not much experience in the kitchen? Fret not! We have some easy breakfast ideas that can help you kickstart her day on a nutritious note.

At noon, take your mother on a special Mother's Day brunch and elevate the celebrations. Research local cafes in and around your city and make a fun day out of it. Drive your mom to a cafe and order her favourite food. If you want to make the outing more exciting, try a new cuisine or dish with your mother. This will surely serve as a bonding session for the both of you.

While waiting for the food, seize the opportunity to capture precious moments with your mother. Pose for pictures together, take selfies, and create lasting memories!

Farmer's Market Visit (2:00 PM)

After having a hearty brunch, head to a local farmer's market to embrace the vibrant flavours of summer. Explore the stalls together and handpick fresh, seasonal ingredients for your evening cooking session. In fact, this would be a great opportunity for you to learn how to choose vegetables that are both fresh and seasonal.

If you want to impress your mother with some knowledge about the seasonal ingredients, here are some to look for:

  • Juicy mangoes for a refreshing mango lassi or mango sticky rice.
  • Fresh herbs like mint, coriander, and basil to add aroma to dishes.
  • Colourful vegetables like tomatoes, bell peppers, potatoes, cucumber, and zucchini for a salad or grilled vegetable skewers. 

Shopping Expedition (4:00 PM)

Spend time with your mother over a shopping spree and pick out clothes for each other. Is there a dress you have always wanted to buy for her? Do it! Or you can even buy matching outfits together and twin! Capture playful moments by making funky videos of her trying different outfits and accessories. Make her do a fashion walk while posing in different clothes.

Sunset Outing (6:00 PM)

Is there a better way to wind down the day than by watching the sunset together? Pick a spot in the city that can give you fantastic views of the sunset and enjoy it with your mother. It could be anywhere – in a park, over a tourist spot, or even on your terrace! Relax and enjoy nature's spectacle while sipping on some summery beverage like lemonade or coolers that energize you after a day full of activities, and snack on popcorn or chips. 

Dinner And Bonding Session (7:30 PM)

Once you are done with day activities, come back home and prepare dinner together. Use the ingredients from the farmer's market and engage in a heart-to-heart conversation. Share anecdotes from your childhood or ask questions that you never had a chance to enquire about before. You can also make things interesting by playing a game – who can make better cocktails or cut the vegetables faster. 

Decide what to cook with the ingredients that you brought from the local market and prepare a delicious meal together. Revive an old family recipe or experiment with new dishes!
