Mother's Day Meals that Won't Break the Bank

Warm Mom’s heart

Everyone knows the most basic Mother’s Day wish: “I don’t want to cook.” Usually, Mom ends up getting either dinner or breakfast, but wouldn’t it be better of Mom got the entire day off cooking?

Buying ingredients for a full day of meals can get expensive, but use these super-cheap recipes from 5dollardinners.com. Mom will feel loved, appreciated and full. You’ll be glad you didn’t need an online payday loan to fund her gift.

Salt and pepper

2. Whisk eggs with milk, salt and pepper in large bowl. Heat small omelet skillet on high. Coat with a little oil or baking spray. Pour in egg mixture. Let cook a minute or two.
