Mother’s Day is this weekend! I am super excited because I know my guys will shower me with hugs, kisses and lots of goodies. It’s one of my favorite days of the year!

On Sunday I have lots of family coming to visit. My mom, my aunt and my brother’s girlfriend will be here. Since they are moms too, there is a lot to celebrate. I already have cards and will get each of them a flowering plant that they can enjoy now and then hopefully plant in their garden to enjoy later as well.

My husband takes on the challenge of feeding everyone so that I get a break from the kitchen. I usually end up helping a little bit just so he doesn’t get in over his head. I try to find easy recipes so that he and the boys can “surprise” us with something tasty. Dinner this weekend will be a low country boil and brunch is typically a tart, pie or casserole.

I have laid out several options and am excited to see which one he chooses. One is this Spinach & Feta Rice Pie. It doesn’t require a ton of ingredients and looks simple to assemble thanks to shortcuts like a packaged filo dough and Veetee Rice.

Veetee rice is a super side dish that’s ready in a flash and is perfect in all your favorite recipes. Simply pop a tray in the microwave and in two minutes you have delicious, perfectly cooked rice. Veetee Dine In is the foolproof way to enjoy rice without the hassle of dirty pans.
