Mother's Day Dinner

[snowwite]

Hey guys! Just wondering what everyone had for their big dinner.


My hubby grilled filet mignons (rare of course ) with a reduced green peppercorn wine sauce, thai noodles with roasted red peppers and sesame seeds, baby brussel sprouts and creamed asparagus.

Next.....

Wow! I am jealous. Mine expected me to cook. I started pulling stuff out and decided they can have leftovers.I am baking some beer bread though.We didnt do brunch either. it is flooding around here so we stayed home all day.Your meal sounds yummy!Happy mother's day!

Tee hee!! Here you go!

1 yellow cake mix, prepared as directed
½ cup raisins
½ cup chopped pecans
1 t. all-purpose flour
½ cup butter
½ cup sugar
½ cup whiskey

1. Preheat oven to 3350. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a small bowl, combine the raisins, pecans, and flour; mix until the raisins and pecans are thoroughly coated, then stir them into the cake batter. Pour batter into the pan and bake for 32-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

3. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and whiskey and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Let boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Using a fork, poke holes into the top of the cake and pour the syrup over the cake. Let cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, the remove to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.

I just sent hubby to the grocery store to pick up pecans and raisins....

We had a turkey with stuffing - it was cool here today so a great day to cook it.

I am so trying that Whiskey Cake recipe, Lindsay Dunn! Thanks for posting it. I'm a huge fan of "The Cake Mix Doctor" recipe book--I just love cake recipes that start with a mix.

We had brunch at my sister-in-law's today. It was a pot-luck kind of meal where everyone brought something. My contributions were: 1) asparagus wrapped in lox with cream cheese and garnishes (chopped red onion, non-pareil capers and chopped hard-boiled egg) and 2) spinach dip in a sourdough bowl.

Among the many yummy dishes that were served, SIL's crustless quiche was my personal fave today. Don't have the recipe yet, but it was a baked, creamy egg custard with guyere cheese, ham, green onions and mushrooms. Very good!

Went to lunch with my mommy & daddy and kids. Had chicken that was pretty gross but the rice ws great as was the strawberry shortcake.

Dinner was at our best friends and she made a turkey dinner that was just perfect. Carvel cake for dessert. I'm ready for bed. My tummy is full, my kids are asleep and my husband is far away but safe.

Had to thaw the chicken, remind DH to marinade the chicken, had to finally ask DH how to turn the grill on to grill the chicken myself. He still didn't get it, until after he told me how to turn the grill on, I finally said "are you really going to make me grill the chicken?" "What, oh, I thought you really wanted to grill the chicken." I have never grilled chicken! He finally went and under-grilled the chicken.

MEN!! I'm sorry, that is so wrong of me to laugh.....I would chase my hubby with a hot coal if he pulled that.
