Breakfast and brunch are the two most popular meals on Mother's Day. It's fun and relaxing to have a leisurely morning meal and easier to schedule than a Sunday dinner out, since school and work the next day can create timing pressures. For some reason, people go out more than they eat in on Mother's Day. Maybe mom doesn't want to get stuck with the dishes, or perhaps no one else in the family can cook? I know that when Mother's Day rolled around, I always wanted to make my mom breakfast in bed. It seemed so luxurious, not to mention that breakfast foods can be easier for a kid to cobble together than other meals.
Starbucks has a few new drinks in the works for this
summer. Actually, the company is always testing new drinks in different parts of the country. Some are limited release -
like macchiatos flavored with maple in the Northeast U.S. and coconut mocha in Hawaii - and others are destined, if
successful, to be part of a much larger rollout. Creme Brulee and Blackberry Green Tea flavors, supposedly, will be
released at the end of spring, and Starbucks is experimenting with soy-based Frappuccinos for non-dairy drinkers. The
Green Tea Frappuccino is said to have blackberry puree or syrup, similar to the one added to the Strawberries and Cream
frappuccino, added to the base, and the drink will be topped with a blackberry drizzle.
