A Mother’s Day Sunrise Surprise

<p></p>
<p>(Family Features) Start Mother’s Day off right with a beautiful breakfast in bed. A pretty tray set with some of the good dishes and real linens, a fresh flower, and some delicious food will put a smile on mom’s face that will last all day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>Golden Sunrise French Toast</strong> is made extra special with evaporated milk and a splash of vanilla extract. Make sure you use firm bread so the toast doesn’t end up soggy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; If she loves eggs, making <strong>Scrambled Eggs</strong> with a little evaporated milk gives them such a creamy texture that she’ll want to eat them this way all the time. Add one tablespoon of evaporated milk for each egg used.</p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Pour her a <strong>Mock Mimosa</strong> by mixing sparkling lime juice or ginger ale to orange juice. Garnish with a fresh strawberry on the rim of the glass.</p>
