Vegetarian chilli, something that mum loves but that I can prepare in advance so that I can give her my full attention

Some olives and then a delicious Fishermans pie would be my ideal with homemade trifle for pudding!

Breakfast would be pancakes with fresh fruit ricotta and bacon with maple syrup and icing sugar

I would love for mothers day a baked salmon fillet with lemon and dill served garlic and herb tossed baby potatoes and buttered fine green beans

My ideal meal would be a roast dinner with Yorkshire puddings, with black currant cheesecake for desert :)

My favourite recipes are:

*baked Camembert with rosemary and garlic poked into holes in the top of the cheese. Served with toasted baguette cut into bite-sized nibbles, or
*Lidl pesto gnocchi cooked then fried in nut butter and topped with good strong cheese.
*cherry tomatoes halved, in a roasting tin with sploshes of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and some diced garlic. Roast until cooked and jammy. Stir into cooked spaghetti. No cheese necessary.

Simple and easy and perfect.

Oh and dessert?

*Eton mess (proper chewy meringue please!), or
*Affogato with super strong espresso, good vanilla icecream, and a hefty slug of frangelico.

Crumbed spiced salmon
Mix Mayo with peri type sauce
Spoon on top of salmon
Then layer of bread crumbs
Bake
Serve with seasonal greens and boiled new pots
But my mum prefers a good dauphinois

I would love a full cooked breakfast made for me, it's my favourite meal and having it at home made by someone else would feel like being on holiday!

Pudding - a trio of my favourite fruit-Yorkshire pink rhubarb. A mini crumble and custard, a rhubarb and ginger sorbet and a creamy rhubarb fool...mmmm

A delicious chicken Kiev, bone in breast, loads of Garlic butter. Goose fat chips and a green salad with a glass of bubbly.

I love thai food so a nice thai curry with some jasmine rice would be lovely. Followed by cheesecake.

Steak please!!! With all the trimmings! And a glass of good red wine. Perfection

I would love a full veggie English breakfast: fried eggs, veggie sausages, mushrooms, fried tomatoes, beans and fried bread with a nice cup of Earl grey tea.

For dinner, it would have to be a home made veggie curry and a glass of Prosecco.

Spinach and ricotta canneloni - easy as all can be pre prepped, therefore meaning more time together.

Steam spinach in a little water. Drain well and then cut up. Mix with tub of ricotta cheese. Stuff into dry pasta canneloni tubes.

Make a tomato sauce by gently frying some onions, and adding a tin of chopped tomatoes. Add a squirt of tomato puree and allow to reduce down. Season. Place in bottom of baking dish.

Arrange pasta tubes on top of tomato sauce. Make a cheese sauce by making a roux, adding the milk and then adding the cheese at the end. I just use strong cheddar. Cover pasta tubes with cheese sauce.

Put in oven and bake for about 30mims until pasta cooked and top browned. As I said before this can all be prepped the day before. Stuffing the pasta tubes is a bit of a faff but that job can be outsourced to children!

My mum's Sunday roast! Is it okay if she cooks on mothers day?!

My hubby makes an amazing beef Thai salad

He uses beef strips, used blue dragon sweet chilli sauce, he adds in peppers,onions and sometimes mushrooms on a bed of ice berg lettuce, carrot in thin slices( cucumber for me as I love it but this isn't essential) you can really use what ever you like for the salad part.

You can also serve the beef with rice it still makes a great dinner

Seafood platter with interesting dipping sauces and good bread, salad
Cheeses posh crackers celery walnut apple
A box of dark chocolate orange creams

Bottle of Malbec and a flat white with the chocolates

I'm vegetarian so definitely no roast for me. Although I love all sorts of food - nothing beats a nice crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside jacket potato with beans and cheese - easy for children to prepare too!

A lentil lasagne - hearty, vegetarian, tasty and just like Mama used to make.....

Peanut butter cookies (so easy my kids can easily make them) and to add Mothers day specialness dip the cooled cookies in melted dark chocolate so they are half covered and leave to set. Serve two cookies as a sandwich with a scoop of proper vanilla ice cream in the middle and chocolate dipped strawberries on the side for health

Anything I don't have to cook myself, it's such a treat having a meal cooked for me as I have allergies and everyone is terrified to poison me!

If I could pick anything. For mains a lamb Sunday roast, made with a gorgeous leg of lamb, studded with garlic and rosemary, creamy mashed potatoes, veg, Yorkshire puddings, mint sauce and a thick gravy. Perfection.
For pudding, a chocolate orange brownie is my ultimate favourite served warm with ice cream.

I think I'd love a full English breakfast - a good old fry up!
To be precise:
2 x rashers of smoked bacon
2 x pork & leek sausages
Fried egg (runny yolk)
Baked beans
Toast with butter
Glass of orange juice
Cup of tea

To be cooked by DH (with a little 'help' from the DC) and brought up to me in bed!

Breakfast in bed for me. Tea first, then tea and toast, then coffee.
