Introduction
- Although many families take their mother out to dinner to celebrate Mother's Day, a home cooked meal allows you return the love that your mother put in to the thousands of meals she has prepared for you over the years.
Step 1: Talk to Your Mom
- It may be tempting to whip up complicated gourmet dishes, but if you do, make sure all the prep time is done before your mother arrives. The greatest gift you can give your mother is time with her, so make sure you allow plenty of time to sit and chat over cocktails before dinner.
Step 2: Make Your Mother Feel Special
- This is a a special day, so make your mom feel special. Dust off the china, crystal, and silver. Set the table with nice linens, and use plenty of flowers. Above all, do not let your mother do the dishes! If she comes into the kitchen while you're cooking, and feels the need to supervise — let her. It's her day.
