This Mother's Day, pamper mom with a delicious breakfast in bed.  Our recipes are simple (she'll think you slaved for hours), healthy (so delicious she'll swear you're ruining a diet) and since you're getting all the ingredients from ALDI...she'll think you spent twice as much.  After saving up to 50 percent on the perfect brunch for mom, you'll have money to spend on a beautiful bouquet (or two!) of flowers, too!

We recommend:

· Apple Raisin Pancakes

· Cantaloupe and Blueberries with Vanilla Sauce

· Vegetarian Frittata

Vegetarian Frittata - 6 servings

Preparation: 10 min.   Cooking: 15 min.   Total: 25 min.

· 2 tbsp. unsalted butter

· 4 scallions, trimmed and minced

· 4 cans green chilies, drained, seeded and chopped (wear rubber gloves)

· 3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped

· 8 Goldhen grade A large eggs, lightly beaten

· 6 oz. Happy Farms mild cheddar cheese, shredded

· 1/3 cup cilantro, or parsley, chopped

· 1/4 tsp. salt to taste (optional)

· 1/2 cup salsa

Turn on broiler. Melt butter in a heavy ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Sauté scallions 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Stir in chilies and tomatoes and simmer about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are softened. Stir in beaten eggs, cheese and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook over medium-low heat 5-6 minutes until eggs are almost set in the center. Place skillet under broiler about 1 minute, or until eggs are just set. Do not overcook. Serve frittata cut into wedges with salsa.  Wake mom up with breakfast and a beautiful floral bouquet.
