Many moms put in some serious effort whipping up meals for their families, so it’s about time those well-fed families returned the favor. Because no mom should have to cook on Mother’s Day, here are a few health-conscious and tasty recipe ideas to put together for a Sunday feast.

GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Even if you’re not a big fan of vegetables, there’s something about the crisp black sear marks from a grill that livens up any veggie.

Recipe: Click here.

QUINOA VEGETABLE SALAD

Full of peas, carrots, tomatoes, spinach and hearty, couscous-like quinoa, this colorful salad would look great on any table.

ROAST CHICKEN WITH ROSEMARY

For a low-maintenance, high-flavor main course, nothing beats a roasted chicken. And if you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, the chicken is great the next day in salads or sandwiches.

Recipe: Click here.

CHEESE STICKS

You can’t go wrong with crispy, twisty cheese sticks. Made with puff pastry dough, sharp cheddar and spices twisted into a dense, crunchy breadstick, these are great for preparing in advance.

Recipe: Click here.

CHEESECAKE BARS

With low-fat cream cheese and smaller portions, these cheesecake bars are a simpler, healthier version of a classic, sumptuous dessert. Top it off with chocolate, caramel or a fruit of your choice to personalize the recipe for your tastes.
