We applaud our moms! There are many ways to celebrate; but, Mom not having to cook is the best treat for her. Flowers, birds, and great cuisine are always trusted success stories when creating the best day for Mom. This year I am recommending cranes, mixed floral, and Egg Foo Young. Paper cranes are something that children can learn to make, with a special message. Egg Foo Young is a dish that is easy to cook, and with supervision if there are youngsters. Also, Egg Foo Young is colorful and fun to prepare. This classic favorite can be served for a delightful brunch. Prepare a large non-stick skillet with non-stick spray and set aside. Into a large bowl crack 3- 4 eggs per person. Add 1 crushed garlic clove, 1 tablespoon of shaved ginger root, and finely sliced green chives. Beat with a hand whip. Prepare and reserve: washed fresh bean sprouts, diced and squeezed tomato (to remove the juice), and sliced mushrooms. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared skillet. You can make small Egg Foo Young cakes or one large one. Once the egg mixture is poured into the skillet, add the bean sprouts, diced tomato, and mushrooms. Cook the Egg Foo Young by flipping it or stirring it; don’t fold it, as it is not an omelet. Serve it with organic soy sauce and colorful fruit on the side. Chop sticks continue the theme and fortune cookies add humor. For an added dimension, insert special made fortunes into the cookies for Mom, to ensure that her special day is most memorable. © Kelly McBride Loft
