Vegan Mother’s Day Recipe: Pizza Waffles

Mother’s Day is less than a week away…but, who’s counting?! I really savor Mother’s Day. Although it’s a busy day (and weekend) celebrating all the moms, grandmas, aunts, and mother figures in my life, I appreciate this one day of the year when I don’t cook or do household chores. As a mom of three, getting my own vegan Mother’s Day brunch is a big deal! It’s the one day of the year that I only take care of me, and let everyone else figure out dinner and laundry! 

Is breakfast in bed every mom’s Mother’s Day nightmare or just mine? Let me explain!

The reality of the kids (and my husband) cooking means a mess in the kitchen. Although they mean well, hubby and the kids often need my help to find an ingredient or show them how to make something so I am pulled out of bed earlier than I’d like. Also, and I admit it—I am a tough critic.

That’s why I love this idea for vegan Mother’s Day waffle pizzas. It’s fairly mess-free, let’s me customize breakfast to my tastes, and is something the kids can make on their own (or with minimal help from Dad).
