The annual day to celebrate mothers falls on Sunday, May 12 this year, when millions of Americans honor their moms in unique ways. 

For many people, this takes the form of a flower delivery, a kind card or gift, or even a special homecooked meal. 

For those inclined to go the cooking route, Florida-based celebrity chef Robert Irvine shared a delicious breakfast recipe for Mother’s Day 2024 that includes greens and vitamin-rich eggs.

The popular host of the Food Network’s “Restaurant: Impossible” told Fox News Digital that while some people turn their nose up at the idea of brussels sprouts — this recipe is worth the extra look.

“Most people who don’t love brussels sprouts tell me they find them too hard or dense,” he said.
