What's cooking for Mother's Day Lunch at your house?

[mrspitt]

Right, i've invited my mum down for lunch tomorrow but have no idea what to make, please help!

She quite a good cook not that she's expecting anything spectacular but would like to do something good and tasty, that the kids will eat aswell.
Any ideas?

My aunty is a coming (sacastic yay!) and I am doing a spag bol to use up the mince I have in the freezer!

my mother is cooking for us

I don't know, because I'm Not Cooking It. It's Mothering Sunday, and I am a mother, therefore I intend to slob on the sofa for at least 10 out of my 14 waking hours, and spend the other 4 in the bath.

sorry, that doesn't help you though

I'd do a roast, and prep the veg today.

My mum has cooked for us all on the "big" occasions but since i'm off work (usually a sunday) and she doesn't have a dining table in her newish house then thought it was about time i returned the gesture

Jamie Oliver's 5 hour leg of lamb. Bung it in the oven with a bottle of white wine, red onions, spuds, parnsips, carrots and cook on low for 5 hours.

A roast what though? God , haven't even been to the supermarket probably nothing to prepare anyway!

Roast beef and cheesecake for after

ohhhh DHW that sounds incredibly lush!! Lamb is my fav!

Oh thanks desperatehousewife you've just reminded me, think i've got a Jamie Oliver cookbook somewhere

Roast pork, various veg and potatoes.
Cauli cheese for me (veggie).

We are off to my mums or the day, and each to a bit for lunch to make it fair.

KFC, we are getting the mothers night off bucket.

We will be spending most of the day visiting our parents and by the time we get back it will be too late to cook so Dh is treating us.

it is mothers day after all when we are supposed to sit with our feet up instead of spending all day slaving away over a roast as usual

roast chicken and the trimmings here

whatever dh knocks up! I never cook anyway, so not too bothered!

roast beef and all the trimmings here

Was planning a roast, but as the oven packed up yesterday I'll be doing malaysian curry (Silver lining's recipe in the archives, yum) and home made orange and lime ice cream. I'm quite pleased the oven died, it'll be less hassle than a roast and my mum will prefer it anyway!

DH always cooks, [lucky girl emotion}

Tomorrow we are having, steaks with a brandy and peppercorn sauce, garlicky potatoes, and fresh veg.

Nice and easy, but totally yummy.

Jamie Olivers 5 hour lamb-that sounds gorgeous is it really easy to make?
