Guys, it’s MAY 1st!!
I am so excited for April 2020 to end and May 2020 to begin. Anyone else?
Bahahaha! Right?!
Well, typically, I share a more traditional Mother’s Day menu but this year, I told Andrew that I want to sit by my pool, read my Kindle, and enjoy food off the grill for dinner. Since we won’t have church, family gatherings or restaurant lunches, I want swimsuits, margaritas, guacamole, and a good book 😉 . #happymothersdaytome
If you’re needing your menu this year to be a little…easy for a dad to prepare, then look no further than this! Go ahead and forward him the link and tell him to start prepping for next Sunday.
Happy (almost) Mother’s Day!
You can always kick off the day with one of my Margarita Floats!
This Pepper Jelly & Bacon Dip is fantastic!! Grab you a bag of scoop-style chips and you are good to go!
A Caprese Salad is for sure my favorite! Who doesn’t love cheese, tomatoes and basil?! You always skip the homemade croutons and use store-bought ones too!
For your entree, a few grilled choices all mamas will love…
…try my Grilled Chicken with Cherry Chipotle Salsa or…
…my BBQ Apricot Grilled Chicken. Both are easy and delicious!
Another option…
For dessert, I’m going to repeat what I said last year because these are both delicious and cute (and easy too!)…
…my No Bake Key Lime Pie Jars!
Happy first day of May! xo

Have you found any gluten free pancake or waffle recipes you like yet?
Mix and Match Mama says
We’ve been using Bisquick’s G-free and it’s really pretty good!
Jaime says
What side would you normally serve with the spicy grilled chicken?
Mix and Match Mama says
A salad! Have you made my mamas corn salad? We had that this week and it’s so delish!
Molly says
What great ideas! I haven’t tried the margarita floats yet, but that for sure will be happening! Happy early Mother’s Day to you!
Jaime says
are you guys still eating any whole wheat pasta? I have no idea if it even exists but have you found any gluten free whole wheat pasta?
Mix and Match Mama says
We are not! We’re eating only g-free pasta.

Frydays are burgers nights so I had planned to have M&M BBQ bacon burgers for supper. I had also planned to make smores’ later. My son is like , Why not make that Lemon Pie that you made last week(which by the way, was Mix and Match Mama’s Lemon Icebox Pie). So guess what we made? Yep, that’s right, Mix and Match Mama’s Lemon Icebox Pie! What a Yummy way to begin the month of May.

Can you share your daily eats?! I love getting ideas from you! You make food so fun and simple! And do you eat any treats after dinner? Thanks!
Mix and Match Mama says
I really don’t eat anything after dinner. We used to have something every night, but now that we’re g-free, we haven’t been doing that.
