What are you cooking for Mother's Day?

ES, a favourite of mine is the wombok Salad on the back of the Chang's Noodle packet. You can assemble the salad, make the dressing and just add the noodles and dressing when ready to serve.

That is very popular whenever it's served Michele, love it.  I always keep back some of each ingredient because if the whole salad isn't eaten in one sitting, it will go soggy.  It has lasted me for days this way with the cabbage etc in a ziplock bag, the seeds and almonds in another and the dressing in a lidded jar.

Yes, so yummy JD - what are you doing up so late? 10 past midnight here.

[Amy :-)]

Oh yum Mich! I think I've had that salad once and it was delicious. I'll make it if we have a warm day forecast

Thanks Amy for all the naughty ideas Thinking something a little healthier and less chocolaty. Still getting over Easter and birthday cakes will go through the books and forum tomorrow. Something will pop up.

LOL oopsies I didn't have my "healthy food brain" working. I rarely cook healthy treats for special occasions, they're my excuse to make something really decadent
The raw macadamia lime cheesecake sounds delicious

how about this salad - made it recently with friends, and it went down a treat!

Had not thought about Mothers day.

I will cook something, and CP's Pineapple cheesecake, that i love.

[astarra]

We are going to a friend's place for a roast dinner at lunch time, am apparently getting breakfast in bed and DH is doing tea, So I have no idea but just know I am not cooking - that is enough for me!!!!! 

[Amy :-)]

Sounds lovely astarra

Well done on the linking Gillian That salad looks nice, I might make it for DM sometime...

[cookie1]

We'll probably go into Shark Bay for a coffee and dinner will be something from the freezer, but DH will possibly defrost and reheat it.

I need some help too. My brother has kindly invited all the family to lunch for roast lamb, and I am on salad duty. I am looking for a salad recipe that I can prepare the night before as we are doing the Mothers Day Classic walk in the morning. I was thinking of a brown rice salad, but will need another salad. Any suggestions?
PS please don't suggest the beetroot salad as it is one of the few things I don't like:(

JulieO's curry pasta salad is delicious and easy.

I am usually the same ad you Amy. But we have had a month that included lots of decadent things thanks to Easter, DH 40th and DS 6th birthdays. Definitely don't need any more decadence

[Halex]

We are out for a buffet breakfast

After that its up to the males in the house, so probably left overs or freezer food

[Yvette]

I am not cooking 

[Amy :-)]

Sounds good Yvette

Hally, I love the sound of a buffet breakfast! It's my favourite meal of the day

Kimmy, you should ban DH and DS from having decadent birthdays so you can have decadence on Mother's Day

Cookie, I like your plan, sounds relaxing and easy

I'm thinking now maybe a roast for lunch. But my mum is a hard one to cook for, she doesn't really have an all-time favourite meal or anything
