It is almost always Mom’s that have the strongest and quietest influence on us. But as much as a mother shapes a child a child shapes the Mother. The bond between a mother and child is one of the strongest in the world. We use words like Loving, Strong and Beautiful to describe her and she would probably use the same to describe her child. I learned to be strong and driven from my mother and I taught my boys the same. To always expect the best of themselves and those in their lives.

So aside from spending time with Mom on Mother’s Day, why don’t you make her an extra special Bloody Mary to enjoy during brunch with those she loves.

Last year I shared the basic Bloody Mary recipe here on A Healthy Life For Me, and this year I wanted to share an over the top Bloody Mary Recipe for Mother’s Day with Pickled Asparagus. The pickled asparagus can be made up to a week in advance. I also sprinkled Old Bay Seasoning on the top, or you could coat the rim of your glass. The seasoning gives the already delicious Bloody Mary Recipe an extra special kick.
