What should I cook for my Mum on Mothers day?

Question

My brother and I are planning on cooking dinner for our Mum 2moro. Our Dad is going to America 2moro so he isnt there nd they are going out 2 a friends house 4 dinner tonight. It is highly likely they will have chicken there, so I want something different to cook for her.
She likes just about anything, and a 3 course meal would be good.

Answer 1

what is something she likes but only gets on special occasions? i'd make that.

or

i like "breakfast for dinner" if that isn't too low key and cheesy for you,breakfast foods are delicious and easy,lots of options for a buffet style,and you could dress it up with fresh flowers etc. i bet she would think that was very sweet.

or
you can't go wrong with a good spaghetti,salad,garlic bread and cheesecake or pie.
