Mother's Day Smokey Twist
Add some smoke and flare to this Mothers Day by skipping the crowded cafes and give mum a day full of flavor, family, and love right from home. Fire up the smoker and turn mum's day into a special one.
Show love with some smoke
There’s something deeply primal and comforting about fire, it's a show of patience and love just like a mum! Whether she’s a low and slow enthusiast or just loves being surrounded by family, nothing brings a crowd together quite like food kissed by the flames.
Smoked menu ideas for mum
Rotisserie Chicken – Whole chicken makes a great canvas for that Smokey flavor and being a combination of light and and dark meat means there's something for everyone.
Charred Corn — Sometimes simple flavours shine the most with those fresh kernels getting blistered over Samba lump charcoal and tossed through butter straight off the grill.
Grilled Potato Wedges– cut potatoes into wedges, soften in boiling water, toss in oil and throw on the grill for some colour.
Parmesan & bacon lettuce hearts – A simple and delightful salad with lettuce, Parmesan cheese, bacon and a lemon dressing.
Smoked Pecan Cobbler – with ice cream! how about this delicious warm dessert for the start of the cooler months.
Que the smoke and... Action!
Set the scene with some simple touches, charm the atmosphere with string lights, soft music, or a little rustic table setting. Handwritten menus or a bouquet of fresh flowers as a centerpiece for mum to take home.
Don't let mum do all the work
It should be mums day off to relax and enjoy the festivities. Whether she’s kicking back with a glass of wine. Letting the family pitch in with doing dishes, setting the table or helping get mum whatever she needs. It's the little things we take for granted that can really help show our appreciation.
A new smokey tradition
Starting a new Mother’s Day tradition with the smoker could become the new norm! Not only can you share the thing you love with the mum you love but you can share it with all those you care for. Tradition has to start somewhere, switching from eating at a busy cafe to the comfort of home sounds better to me.
