Stay home this Mother's Day and create your own five-star brunch with farmers market finds and a few simple recipes.

Mother's Day is the busiest day of the year for restaurants in America, so why not skip the crowded buffet line and create a laid-back celebration of your own tomorrow.  Keep it simple with one or two recipes to serve alongside some baked goods, fresh fruits and veggies from the famers market.
