For as long as I can remember, my family has always given my mom breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day. Dad would wake us up early in the morning, and my sister Kelsey and I would put together something special and take it to Mom on a tray. As I grew older, I started to put more care and thought into the menu and the presentation, culminating in a wonderful and sumptuous stuffed French toast this year. Delicious French toast with lemon-flavored mascarpone cheese filling and served with fresh berries makes the perfect Mother’s Day breakfast!
