Happy Mother’s Day from Olliffe
This weekend, we’ll be celebrating the incredible moms, grandmothers, stepmoms and other maternal figures in our lives and community. Whether you’re able to spend Mother’s Day with your mom or are honouring her memory, we hope you’re able to enjoy some quality time with your loved ones this Sunday. (And maybe a few hours at the spa, if you’re a busy mom who already gets a LOT of ‘quality time’ with her family throughout the week!)
No matter what your plans are, Olliffe has everything you need for that delicious Mother’s Day brunch or dinner. Here are a few Mother’s Day notes from our team—we hope to see you in our Yonge Street butcher shop soon.
A word about moms
When we try to put the love, skill and devotion of the mothers in our lives into words, it’s hard to know where to begin—so we’ll just say this. A kind, loving, dedicated mom is one of life’s greatest gifts, and we know a number of exceptional women who exemplify this role. Today and always, we’re grateful to them!
In addition to recognizing the moms in our families, we’d like to wish a very happy Mother’s Day to the moms who work at Olliffe and to our many customers who are moms. We hope you have an amazing weekend!
Cook up something special
If you haven’t planned your Mother’s Day breakfast, brunch or dinner yet, now is the time. Here are a few ways to celebrate Mom with an amazing home-cooked meal.
- Breakfast in bed: If Mom’s an early bird, set your alarm clock and be ready to offer a simple yet delicious breakfast in bed. Start with some farm-fresh eggs, classic pork bacon, and fresh bread with her favourite jam. Add a glass of orange juice and a fresh cup of tea or coffee. Flowers would be a nice touch!
- Brunch: Let her sleep in, then treat her to her favourite brunch foods. In addition to the breakfast items noted above, we suggest pork breakfast sausages (also available in turkey apple breakfast sausage), peameal bacon and some charcuterie. Don’t forget to add some fresh fruit and pastries, plus some Greek yogurt and Bayfield Provisions granola. Yum!
- Dinner: Make Mom’s favourite dinner, whatever that is! We suggest a great Ontario beef steak, a prime tenderloin roast, roasted whole chicken with lemon and herbs, Tamworth pork chops with apple chutney, osso bucco, herb-marinated lamb chops, or something from our Fine Dining Collection. If you’d like personalized recommendations, please call us or speak to one of our staff in person! We’d be glad to help.
