Are you most drawn to White Chocolate, Chocolate, Fruity, Soft & Fluffy, or Peanut Butter? How about your mom?

How will you be spending Mother’s Day?

We have no plans, just the way I like it. I don’t expect gifts, roses, cards, breakfast in bed, or anything other than just a calm, smooth, easy day.

As a mom, just getting through the day with everyone and everything in one piece and no meltdowns is the best gift of all. And of course, to spend time with my sweet little girl and husband.

Happy Mother’s Day!

  1. I want it all!!! Gorgeous round up, lady :) And Happy Mother’s Day to you, love!

  2. Great round-up!! I think I’ll be making those nutella cinnamon rolls… Delicious!

    1. And they take about 5 mins to prep, not even kidding. A shortcut is used on those :) Ready in under 30 mins total!!

  3. Thanks for this great list of recipes! I know my mom would pretty much like any of them! She has a sweet tooth just like me…lol!

  4. Oh my goodness, I’m all over those cranberry bliss bars! I seriously just took the afternoon off from work so I can go home and make these for my stepmom for Mother’s Day! Thanks for the great recipe ideas!

    1. Right before Xmas my hubs and I seriously scarfed a whole pan down together in like 1 day. We both love C.B.Bars from Starbucks and they are better than the originals if we do say so!

      Please LMK if you make them!

  5. I hope you have a wonderful Mother’s Day! We will be at home just spending time together. Love it!

  6. And you really expect me to choose??? That is crazy, I love them all!!!
    Happy early Mothers Day Averie!! Hope someone make you something good and you have a relaxing no work unplanned day!

    1. Thanks, Tieghan, and you’re such a great big sis I’m sure your little siblings think of you as a mom in many ways!

  7. You know I’m a white chocolate & PB fan (just mix the two together please). Sometimes no plans are the best ones. I sure hope you have a fantastic Mother’s Day!

  8. Ooh, those cranberry bliss bars look amazing! You have such great ways of showcasing older recipes of yours that readers might’ve missed the first time around :) And the fact that you made 5 different categories was super smart!

    Hope you have a great Mother’s Day weekend :)

    1. Right before Xmas my hubs and I seriously scarfed a whole pan down together in like 1 day. We both love C.B.Bars from Starbucks and they are better than the originals if we do say so! Glad you like my roundups – I have so much stuff it’s nice to un-earth some of the forgottens!

  9. Happy Mother’s Day to you, lovely lady! Hope you have a fabulous weekend! xoxo

  10. Ooooh, love how the treats are categorized! I don’t know which would be my favorite! Perhaps the chocolate or the soft & fluffy category…or the peanut butter or white chocolate. Hahaha.
    Happy Mother’s Day to you! :)

    1. Give you lately – the PB or the white choc categories :) Soft & fluffy never hurts either!

  11. What a delicious looking dessert collection–and if I hadn’t already decided to make the Twix bars, I’d have a tough time choosing! We don’t have any specific plans for Mother’s Day, but our anniversary is tomorrow (17 yrs) so we’re going out for dinner. I am planning on a relaxing weekend with a little baking and trip to the farmer’s market. Happy Mother’s Day Averie!

    1. Thanks, Paula!
      Enjoy the Twix Bars. They’re so good that I want one right now but they’re gone.
      Happy Anniversary. Holy.crap. I just realized our 12 yr wedding anniversary is on TUESDAY. 5/14
      you have us beat by 5 yrs and 3 days. Neither me or my hubs remember pay that much attn anymore. He clearly has no idea…he barely knows it’s Mother’s Day :)
      Enjoy your night out!!

  12. Happy Mother’s Day Averie! You deserve a weekend showered with love. Skylar is so lucky to have such a caring, selfless mom! You would do anything for her. :) my mom would love all of these recipes. Especially that carrot cake loaf and cinn spice sweet potato bread. Hope your weekend is beautiful my friend. :)

    1. Thanks, hon! I just realized our 12 yr wedding anniversary is on TUESDAY. 5/14
      So I really should have been begging and trolling for gifts from Scott, right! :) But no, he has no idea either are happening! Lol Which is FINE. I don’t care. I just want a peaceful weekend that I can be productive :)

  13. What a list! I need to test them all for next year, this year I am apart from my mum so only flowers for her and a phone wishes.

  14. These desserts look absolutely amazing! I really want to try the first one. I hope you have a great Mother’s Day! My family and I are spending it at Universal Studios. It should be a lot of fun.
