There is no greater joy than spending time with the kids on Mother's Day, though every day I laugh and smile with the kids feels like Mother's Day. We recently enjoyed a wonderful family breakfast adorned with wild flowers my daughter and I picked on a walk with our dogs.

My keikis (kids) are getting old enough that they want to help in the kitchen. It might be a little messy, but cracking eggs for cheesy omelettes are one of their favorite activities. While I can't get them to let me put diced veggies in there - YET - I have been adding ground ginger, which I talked about in our Quinoa Salad with Chicken recipe.

As a pregnant mama, I loved ginger for nausea; as a post-pregnant mama I loved it for pain and inflammation as I was trying to get my body back in shape; and as a mama of three, I love it for treating colds and flus in the family. It's also great for anyone suffering from arthritis or gout.

The best part about adding this to scrambled eggs or omelettes is that you can put it in and it doesn't change the flavor, so even the pickiest of kids won't notice it.

Wishing you all a Happy Mother's Day!
