Mother's Day

[Shawna Bride]

I'm going to do a Mother's Day Brunch since this is the first year I officially have 2 mothers.
Does anyone have any recipe ideas for me? I'm a little lost when it comes to the kitchen, so all the advice I could get would be great.
Thanks

I'll get some stuff up here this afternoon for a nice brunch. Do you want more savory or sweet things?

If its going to be a brunch, then I would keep it light. If you serve "heavy" food, everyone is going to want to do home and take a nap.
One of my favorite lunches is boneless chicken breasts smothered in mushrooms and mushroom soup that has been slow cooked in the oven @ 350-400 for about an hour. (Cover the pan with foil, and it will be sooo tender and juicy you might not even need a knife!) with a salad and garlic cheese bread. Its easy, not too heavy and semi-healthy!

Thanks so much. How about savory and sweet? Maybe something sweet for dessert.

Ok...here goes:

Take 4 or 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts and place them in a 9x13 casserole dish.
Cover the chicken with a can of Cream of Mushroom soup and a can of mushroom peices (drained). (you can season the chicken 1st if you like and add sliced onion pieces on top of the mushrooms. But this is completely up to you.)
Cover the pan with foil
Cook in oven @ 350-400 degress for about an hour. You know the chicken is ready if you prick it with a fork and the juices are clear.And when I do my salad with this, it has EVERYTHING in it.....celery, cucumber, tomato, chesse, bacon bits, croutons.....you name it!

The bread I use is a box of frozen garlic cheese toast.

This same recipe also works good on skirt steaks and pork chops!

That sounds great, and easy too.

What I love about it is that it takes 10 minutes tops to prepare and then youve got an hour to do other things. When the chickens done you put the bread in. In the 10 minutes it takes for the bread, you do the salad. Voila....dinner! And you werent standing over the stove the entire time.
