Mother’s Day is May 9 and it’s time to honor your mother or special someone.

Treat her to brunch, dinner, some flowers and sweet treats and declare her “Queen for the Day.” It’s easy to do with the help of your local Strack & Van Til Food Market.

Start with flowers from the Strack & Van Til Floral Department. Treat her to a stunning assortment of fresh florals, including handcrafted bouquets, arrangements and stems.

“We have roses to sunflowers, hydrangeas, lilies and a customer favorite, Alstromeria,” notes Floral Department Director Jen Knoche. “Choose grab-and-go or pre-order for pickup or delivery.”

Enhance your floral order with add-ons such as balloons, plush animals, candy bouquets, Fannie May chocolates or Rose globes – all the rage right now and only $14.99 in-store.

The Floral Department has an array of indoor plants including hydrangeas, stargazer lilies, begonias, mums and more. In the Garden Center, you can pick up annuals or perennials including Mandevilla, hibiscus, ferns, begonias and dahlias plus beautiful hanging baskets, planters and soil.

The Strack & Van Til Floral website at strackandvantil.com/shop-floral makes shopping for Mother’s Day even easier, plus, get free delivery on orders of more than $30.

Next, treat mom to a fully cooked brunch or an outdoor picnic and a heat-and-serve dinner with selections from the Strack & Van Til Deli Department.

Brunch items feature La Terra Fina Quiche, fruit salad, shredded potato casserole, Kentucky Legend Baked Ham sliced with a pineapple glaze and King’s Hawaiian sliced sweet bread with Chef Shamy butter spread in strawberry or cinnamon honey.

Top off brunch with a variety of signature, made-from-scratch Coffee Cake from the Strack & Van Til Bakery. She’ll especially love the strawberry flavor!

Our Famous Fried or Grilled chicken is a family favorite and perfect for a picnic. Complete the meal with deli fresh salads including new Bang Bang Shrimp Pasta, Bloody Mary Pasta Salad and Korean Noodle Salad or traditional potato salad varieties including Our Own homestyle or mustard varieties, steakhouse or premium potato with extra egg and dressing. Enjoy fresh spinach and pasta salad with pine nuts and parmesan cheese or Caprese pasta salad with fresh mozzarella.

Create a Mother’s Day charcuterie board with cheeses including Jarlsburg, salamis, fruit spreads and crackers from the Deli’s specialty cheese shop.

“Our Deli Prime Rib Dinner includes 4-8-ounce slices of prime rib, twice baked potatoes, Biscayne vegetable blend, King’s Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls, garlic butter and au jus,” says Deli Department Director Kristin Snow. “Please place your order by Wednesday, May 5, for pick up Saturday, May 8.”

Complete her dinner with an exclusive fruit pie from the Bakery Department. “Try apple, blueberry or cherry,” says Bakery Department Director Tim Calderone. “They’re all made from the best ingredients and baked fresh in-store.”

If you want to impress with your cooking skills, head to the Strack & Van Til Meat Department for high-quality Certified Angus Beef – the best beef in the Midwest.

“There’s nothing more memorable than the mouth-watering taste of a tender, juicy Certified Angus Beef steak,” notes Gary Teachman, Strack & Van Til Meat Department director. “When only the best will do for Mom, choose Certified Angus Beef, the most luxurious beef available.”

This week, treat your special someone to Certified Angus Beef Filet Mignon at $17.98 per pound. That’s just $8.99 per 8-ounce serving. Pair it with lobster tails for a surf ’n’ turf epicurean experience. Lobster tails are $26.64 per pound for 5-6-ounce tails, which is equivalent to $9.99 for a 6-ounce tail.

For the crowning touch, visit the Bakery Department for an 8-inch, made-from-scratch Mother’s Day Cake, the Cake of the Week feature during Mother’s Day week. If you really want to spoil Mom, surprise her with luscious, fresh hand-dipped chocolate strawberries. Find them in-store all week before Mother’s Day.

There’s nothing like a Mother’s love. Show her you feel the same way with delicious delights from Strack & Van Til.
