Menu Planning

As usual I've been all over the place with the Mother's day get-together menu. Seriously this menu has really gone from almost all types as cuisines and back again. American, Italian, Mexican, and more specific Tex-Mex...name it...I've considered it. All except for Chinese, that's a no-go with Brad....ALWAYS! We even considered just ordering in the main dish, with me making appetizers and desserts. But I don't think we'll do that. I'm going to cook the main dish, make a minor appetizer and prepare at least 2 desserts.

For most of this week I've had the menu narrowed down in my mind. However, the moment I woke up this morning a new menu idea hit me. Will the new idea be the one I stick with? I have a few more hours to ponder it.

For me when menu planning I have one or two menus in mind then out of nowhere a new idea pops into my head. The new idea usually ends up being the one I get excited enough about to stick with.

In honor of Mother's day weekend here's a couple pics of the mom's in our world...

This is from last year's Mother's day gathering. I don't believe I ever featured this pic on the blog. Not sure?

 

 Simon was my mom's fave! This doubles as another flashback Friday pic. Maybe someday there will be a pic of Landon and my mom!
