So Mother's Day dinner is at my place this year - because I volunteered. My MIL is recovering from a stroke and my SIL is a witch so at my place it is. Question is, what on earth to serve? It's supposed to be nice and sunny so I was hoping for a bbq which would allow most of the cooking to be done by DH as I'd make the desserts and salads the night before but I have no idea what to serve for anything!
I'm thinking I'd like to try the Strawberry Spinach Salad although I know my DH and DD won't eat it - DH doesn''t care for fruit lol and DD doesn't like spinach but the rest of us should like it (don't know, never tried it) and then a traditional potato salad which is a favorite of everyone. But I need main dish ideas for 13! Two children 12 and 15, three in their early 20's and then the rest of the adults ranging from 40 - 80. I'd LOVE to have steak but that would be too expensive for that many and they're not seafood lovers so fish is out. Should I just do burgers and sausage? Seems like I'm cheaping out with those? Chicken? How much, what kind?
Any ideas? Or if someone has a totally different idea/route to take please share! PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!!
