Mother's Day Lunch

For this ladies-only lunch, pick a day when all of you -- including the cook -- can enjoy a meal at your leisure.

Melon Sparklers The fruit of a Galia melon looks like honeydew, but isn't as sweet.

Fruited Cheese-Filled Lemon Biscuits Another time, for a more substantial filling, replace the fruit with chopped cooked turkey or chicken.

Lemon Biscuits Prepare a double batch of these tender biscuits so you'll have enough to make 12 of the sandwiches.

Pink Geranium Cake Scented geranium leaves add a light pleasing flavor to this pink layered cake frosted with a creamy, pink buttercream frosting.

Smoked Chicken Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette Stop at the deli department of your supermarket for smoked chicken breast.
