Mother’s Day Cooking Made Easy
This is something that traditionally gets left off the menu. So many families either go out to dinner on mother’s day, because Mom typically does all the cooking or resolve to barbecue because that is often the only meal that dear old dad is comfortable preparing. While barbecuing in and of itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing, if it works like barbecuing in my house it ends up being more work for mom because dad wants mom to hold things, find things, fetch things, and bring things. By the end of her Mother’s Day barbecue mom is typically tired and face with a huge mess to clean. Not that mom doesn’t smile, thank everyone, and then go about the business of cleaning her kitchen back to it’s pre mother’s day state but a day off with no dishes, no fetching, and no clearing is quite often the desired treat.
That being said there are ways you can go about cooking the perfect mother’s day meal and creating very little mess for mom to clean up if you are willing to put a little bit of effort into the planning phase. In fact, even the most cooking impaired among us have options for creating a grand feast worthy of mom with very little mess when all is said and done. The perfect plan some may say and mom might be inclined to agree. Even better you won’t find yourself on a waiting list and jostled about by others looking to get a good seat at your favorite restaurant on this day that is often one of, if not the, busiest restaurant days of the year and no it isn’t ordering take out from said restaurant.
