There's the Mother's Day brunch I'll probably have on Sunday. I'm sure it'll be nice. And then there's the sure-why-not, dream big, fantasy Mother's Day brunch. As in, if money were no object, if anything could happen, what would that brunch look like?

Just for fun, I'm going to tell you about my dream brunch. And it's outrageous.

My family is scattered all over the country, but I'd bring my grandma, mother, mother-in-law, and sisters all together just for this meal. Grandma can't travel in real life but I'd magically teleport us all to a beachside table in Tulum, Mexico. And that's just the beginning.

Mother's Day is around the corner. Moms everywhere will be getting breakfast in bed. Which is why you're probably searching for the perfect, most mouth-watering menu for Sunday morning. But you don't want to blow your diet in the process, right? Luckily, you can combine those two little wishes with this simple, low-fat veggie omelet. If it's a little too disgustingly healthy, you can serve it with a nice sparkling Mimosa! Indulge!

You know what's amazing? Frozen puff pastry. Yes, I'm being serious, and if you've ever tried to make puff pastry dough from scratch, you know why. It's not particularly easy.

And when you're making Easter brunch, you want everything to be easy. Because let's face it, you're probably going to be really tired from staying up the night before to hide eggs and fill baskets with cellophane grass and foil-covered chocolate bunnies.

Who needs to be making puff pastry dough from scratch? Just think: Easy ... Easter.

Like this really easy, really yummy Raspberry Custard Tart.

(Which, not for nothing, looks like it took hours to prepare.)

What's better than cheese biscuits? Cheese and pepperoni biscuits. I know you've been looking for a way to bring more cured Italian meats into your daily routine, so ... you're welcome. These flattened balls of deliciousness are great for a hardy breakfast or a late afternoon snack -- they're sure to become a new family favorite.

So gather up your little kitchen helpers, start grating some cheddar, and in no time you'll have some yummy yummy biscuits to share.

NOT Dunkin' Donuts' pork donutIt's not every day that I'm envious of the Chinese, but I just learned that they're about to get a most delectable treat: PORK DONUTS. Oh the lard-liscious joy! Dunkin' Donuts is planning to take over China using their secret weapon, donuts topped with shredded pork.

Oh what, that sounds gross to you? Please, aren't we the country that invented chicken and waffles? What's the difference? Who is with me on the pork donuts? I said, WHO IS WITH ME HERE ON THE PORK DONUTS? I'll tell you who is: Basketball star LeBron James.

Tell us more about that cake, PaulaWouldn't y'all like to sit down for brunch with Paula Deen, her family, and Oprah Winfrey? Well you can -- that is, vicariously. On her new show, Oprah's Next Chapter, O visited Paula's home for a little breakfast and a big family brunch to talk about Paula's personal journey.

This was Paula's turn to tell her story her way. And obviously that meant no questions about her scandalous diabetes drug endorsement deal or the sexual harassment lawsuit hanging over her head! But Paula did give us some hints about why she may have made that deal. And, if course, she gave us the chance to drool over some heavenly-looking Southern food!

In honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday, I think I need to make my family some Green Eggs and Ham. Am I right, people? We will have them in a boat, and we will eat them with a goat, and we will eat them in the rain, and in the dark, and on a train. Actually, no, we will just eat them at the table like we usually do. But they really are so good, so good, you see! Just speaking for myself, I would eat them ANYWHERE.

And there are so many, many ways you see, to have green eggs and ham. I'll show you! Come with me.

Okay, I'll stop with the Seusspeak. But check out these fun green eggs and ham ideas.

Happy Mardi Gras! We love the big king cake, with its purple, green, and gold sparkles and hide-and-seek little baby. But these little mini king cupcakes are just too adorable, aren't they?  

This recipe is from the bayou -- literally! It's by David Guas of Bayou Bakery in Arlington, Virginia. And like full-sized king cake, they're soft, sweet yeast breads. We think they'd be perfect for a Fat Tuesday party or a Mardi Gras brunch.
