Instead of breakfast in bed with syrupy pancakes, cholesterol-filled eggs and buttered toast, make mom some healthy and nutritious foods. Substitute the traditional flower bouquet for a fresh fruit basket, which pairs nicely with any of these healthy Mother's Day recipes:

Healthy Waffles

What's breakfast without the crispy, crunchy goodness of a waffle? But traditional waffles are filled with unnecessary fats. This waffle recipe from EatingWell uses whole-wheat flour and nonfat buttermilk. Nutritional Analysis per Serving: Calories: 241; Total, fat 4g; Cholesterol 37mg; Total carbohydrate 41g; Fiber 3g; Protein 11g. Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tbsp salt
• 1/4 tbsp baking soda

• 2 large egg whites
• 2 tbsp sugar

Stir flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, egg yolk, oil (or applesauce) and vanilla (optional) together in a small bowl. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until moistened. Beat egg whites in mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar and beat until stiff and glossy. Whisk a small amount of the egg whites into the batter. Fold in the remaining egg whites. Place batter in a heated, oiled waffle iron for five to six minutes. Serve with a side of fresh fruit.

Mini Quiches
