Our family has a tradition of getting together and cooking for all holidays, Mother's Day is no exception. We all love to cook and it affords us an affordable gourmet meal because we can all cook! And we never ever have the same meal twice, except for Thanksgiving. We will always have the traditional turkey with all of the fixings’.
Our menu this weekend is:
Crudités and other appetizers
Green Salad
Rolls
Brown Rice
Gumbo- specifically the one that is served at the Blue Bayou in Disneyland. It is a favorite of my Mom’s and ours. It is also part of a tradition when my mom, sister and I go to Disneyland
Dessert
It is simple, but my family is always creative with what we make.
My aunt loves to find yummy recipes from Emril or Rachel Ray. My Mom will search recipes and the internet to find exactly what she is looking for. Kevin's Mom is an incredible baker. My sister and brother-in-law always create their own master piece. Myself and Kevin, we tend to combine our skills with a favorite dish. Our extended family, Youngs and Flemmings, always bring kid family fair. When Todd (Kevin's brother) and family join us, we are always in for a gourmet treat. As for Grandma, all we ask that she comes and enjoy everything we bring and to reserve the beautiful picnic ground at her housing community.
What plans do you have for Sunday? Are you making Mom’s favorite dish or maybe going to her favorite restaurant.
