This May, we’re honoring Mom and spring at the same time with an elegant brunch menu that’s low on stress but bursting with the season’s best ingredients.

Roasted Asparagus and Artichoke Hearts

If the task of cleaning and trimming fresh artichokes turns you off, you’ll be happy to know that jarred artichoke hearts are a great substitute here. Roasting in a hot oven alongside bright asparagus stalks renders the combo sweet, crunchy around the edges, and utterly irresistible.

Bourbon Mint Iced Tea

A combination of mint and black teas adds zing to this classic sweet tea. Serve it in a pitcher spiked with bourbon for a cocktail kick or plain—it’s perfectly refreshing either way—and finish it off with a few sprigs of fresh mint.

Strawberry Meringue Fool
