Choosing what to have for dinner can be harder than one may think. It’s easy to get in a rut and cook the same old stand by’s. Here’s a few recipes that I compiled with Mother’s Day in mind. They are relatively easy to make, don’t require a ton of clean up, and they look good. If the photos and recipes are any indication, then they taste great, too. I double-dog dare all the kids {that are old enough to cook of course} and men out there to cook the mothers in their lives something special this Mother’s Day. Here are 12 great ideas of what to have for dinner!
