May 10 : Mother's Day (strawberry trifles and tortes)
Honor your mother with the best of in-season fruit-strawberries! While celebrated in many forms around the world, Mother's Day in the United States was an official holiday in 1914, thanks to the efforts of Anna Jarvis. However, she later became disenchanted with its commercial take and worked to remove it from that status.
Now, Anna Jarvis is likely no longer alone as people start to decry the commercialization of many holidays and look to restore a personal touch. Make the same effort to move away from the pre-printed cards with awkward sentiments and celebrate both spring and your mother's role in your life with these strawberry-based desserts. Strawberries are a common favorite and perfect for tortes and trifles. Dishfolio food bloggers have given us many great online recipes that make special after-dinner desserts that are perfect for an English-style tea.
Give back to your mother with something different this year and celebrate in the original spirit of Mother's Day!
