Mother's Day Cooks

BigGreenKev · May 8

For those lucky enough to be parents, or just using it as an occasion to make a good meal for the person better than most of us, what are you planning to cook Sunday?

Ragingirishman2 · May 10

In addition to Sunday being Mother’s Day, it’s also our 29th wedding anniversary. Today I made SWMBO her favorite breakfast, French toast.

Sliced brioche bread and left it out over night. The batter was 6 eggs, 1 cup of cream, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 tb sugar, 2tsp vanilla, 1 tsp cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and zest from an orange. The orange zest really makes the flavor pop. Topped with a light cinnamon dusting with real maple syrup and some melted butter.

Happy Mother’s Day weekend to everyone.

I’m only a mom to our three furbabbos and today is DHs birthday so I’m (as usual) cooking for everyone and the furbabbos are getting their favorite ham, split pea, and rice dinners for the next week (and yes, we have an overabundance of pupper gas). DH is getting Salisbury steak (🤢) for lunch and chicken and fresh noodles (🤢) for dinner. His choice, but his corn fed Illinois palate is just 🤢. Also happy anniversary @Ragingirishman2 !

It got moved up a
day so I just bought and baked a strawberry rhubarb pie. It’s a good brand though.

one day at a time - and it's still Saturday - so I egged some boring, but DELICIOUS baby back ribs which I like to call my mahogany ribs.

That is definitely some elevated French toast, @Ragingirishman2. Nice work! Happy anniversary, too.

@Ragingirishman2 - that is a sugar high waiting to be inhaled. Sweet

I went spatchcock chicken for Mother's Day lunch and the family enjoyed. Nice and crispy

Yessir! It was BGE forum that taught me so of course

Going up to my folks house, so a friend walked me through baking a Babka. Made a nice orange glaze to finish it and serving it with homemade fig preserves from my tree. Random Vanilla order photos.

Dyal_SC · May 11

Looks neat, @Ozzie_Isaac !

lousubcap · May 11

Your friend is quite an instructor and definitely had a receptive student. Looks great.

johnmitchell · May 11

@Ozzie_Isaac. That looks and sounds amazing😋😋 Heck for a minute I thought we were going to Buc-ees for brisket

DoubleEgger · May 11

Nice to see you back @Paolo

Got back home, took a nap, and rallied to make the day special for caliqueen, and her mom. Cranked out pasta from scratch...

... which went into a saffron, and smoked paprika, cream sauce.

Shrimp with parsley and garlic compund butter.

SV pots de creme (TOTH to JIC)... dark choc, salted caramel. Dressed with homemade razz sauce, and goat milk dulce de leche (HEB).

(Not pictured... roasted turnips + greens. New for us, and quite good).

Hectic weekend, and day. But, I scored some points to last a few months

johnmitchell · May 12

@caliking. You win hands down!!!! Amazing post👏👏

Paolo · May 12

@Caliking what a gorgeous looking pasta you have there! Did you use a pasta maker or just rolling pin and knife?

Thanks. Ii have the Kitchen Aid rollers. Makes it way easier.

Ozzie_Isaac · May 12

@caliking I mean, in a pinch, if you’re rushed, I guess maybe that will do.

Thanks. Truth be told, I wouldn't have undertaken the effort, given how exhausted I was after camping with 20+ Scouts. But, we had two mommas in the house to celebrate, and I couldn't let it pass.

No cook here, but I did get my wife a 747 for her to use the next 3+ years.
