Mother's Day has come and gone... but the allure of brunch will never waver. Give your next breakfast-lunch combo extraordinaire an earth-friendly, vegan makeover for a spread that will pair proudly with a pitcher of fresh-squeezed, organic mimosas. 

When we say "Ricotta-Stuffed French Toast with Salted Butterscotch Sauce," we're guessing the last word that comes to mind is "vegan." And possibly the first is "sinful." But, indeed this oozing brunch fare is completely egg- and dairy-free, making it more-than-slightly-less indulgent. Olives for Dinner just won our hearts with this one.

For something a bit tamer -- yet still sweet and stunning -- give the Lemon-filled Strawberry Muffins from The Simple Lens a  place at your brunchscape. Muffin, scone and cupcake lovers alike will rejoice. 

For a brunch that airs on the side of savory, let the star be this Mexican Tofu Frittata that will ensure nobody misses eggs done any way. The Vegan Yack Attack knows how to make it look just like eggs, and taste even better!

Another savory dish to pepper your brunch buffet, give this Lemony Roasted Potato Salad from Beautiful Inside My Head the go ahead. Simply prepared and dressed with seasonal ingredients, these fingerlings melt in your mouth for instant "yum!"
