Mothers day dinner - what's on your plate?

96 replies

socktastic · 31/03/2019 07:58

Looking for some inspiration as I feel I'm getting boring and predictable. Preparing a mothers day dinner this evening and I always go for the usual roast beef or chicken. I had thought about making lasagne but we had that with friends on Friday.

I also have 3 quarters tub of sour cream left over in the fridge....

We are having an afternoon tea type lunch followed by roast lamb later

polarpig · 31/03/2019 08:04

Fajitas to use up the sour cream.

God knows my ovens broken so probably beans on toast.

Interested in this thread?

Might be pizza as I made tomato sauce over a week ago so needs using up but only if it's not growing something first.

My 4th mother's day as a mum, 4th one cooking my own dinner (and everyone else's!)

Being taken out to my favourite restaurant for lunch then staying over at DD and GS's house. I've sent my DM a card and will give her a call this morning

Husband is cooking a roast beef dinner. We’re on holiday with my in-laws so have put him in charge today!

MrsPear · 31/03/2019 10:17

Leftovers from bbq yesterday - so they don’t go tough on warming I’ll put the left over lamb in slow cooker with stock and flavourings for a few hours. There is rice too.

Nnnnnineteen · 31/03/2019 10:18

No idea yet hoping for inspiration before I go food shopping or I will just buy random crap.

MulticolourMophead · 31/03/2019 10:23

DC and I are going out for long walk later, so not bothering with cooking. We're having KFC as a treat instead.

Chewbecca · 31/03/2019 10:24

Chicken pie with roast mini potatoes, roast carrots and Savoy cabbage.

Oldraver · 31/03/2019 10:27

Some Dexter beef, rolled. Rib or something . Easy to Chuck in the oven

lucysmam · 31/03/2019 10:31

Roast chicken with garlic parmesan roast potatoes, and salad on the side.

Need to walk to Lidl first though, for the salad. Need to consider getting dressed before that too... :)

Owlettele · 31/03/2019 10:34

Hubs and lil ones delivered me a cuppa in bed and said they are taking me to nandos for lunch 😀😀 so we will just have sarnies or soup at tea time!! 😀😀

Camomila · 31/03/2019 10:36

I have requested Indian takeaway for dinner, followed by ice cream :)

Lunch is oven pizza and salad.

Mrsemcgregor · 31/03/2019 10:38

Roast pork with (hopefully) crispy crackling and all the trimmings.

I’m cooking because I love it, especially as I have a lovely bottle of wine to sip. Hopefully DH and kids will do all the washing up while I relax and watch whatever I want on tv!

Bluearsedfly36 · 31/03/2019 10:42

OH is working today so I've just put some diced beef in the slow cooker with homepride red wine sauce, will do veg, mash, roast potatoes and Yorkshire's. Then strawberry cheesecake. Yum 😋

Worried2019 · 31/03/2019 10:55

Nothing. I'm a single mum to a 4yr old who's father is awol! Just an ordinary Sunday for us. Probably something from the freezer.

PinkHeart5914 · 31/03/2019 10:56

At 12 mil is coming over and then dh is doing home made scones, sandwiches and champagne with the help of dc of course for me and her 😃

Tonight dh is cooking garlic and chilli roast chicken, huge amount of cauliflower cheese, broccoli covered in butter and carrots & more champagne

Think dh has made a chocolate Guinness cake for dessert tonight

happymummy12345 · 31/03/2019 10:57

Depends what time dh gets home from work. Probably something quick in the oven (that I'll do myself).

Pascha · 31/03/2019 10:58

No idea, we're out all afternoon, non-mother's day related, food will be incidental and probably in the form of a burger or pizza.

HelenaJustina · 31/03/2019 10:58

Fuck all. DH is taking his Mum and 3/4 DC out for lunch and I’m ferrying the other one around and squeezing in a flying visit to my Mum.

I might have some nice cheese and crackers and a g&t tonight...

JamAndCroissants · 31/03/2019 11:00

Chinese takeaway tonight.

Lou0390 · 31/03/2019 11:04

Indian takeaway tonight Smile

StillRunningWithScissors · 31/03/2019 11:11

Water.

I seemed to have fallen prey to a horrendous virus this weekend, not keeping much down.

DH traveling for work, so I still need to feed DC.

vampirethriller · 31/03/2019 11:14

Takeaway! It's either Japanese or pizza. Can't decide. And as many peanut butter chocolates as I can fit into myself.
