I made my first Mother's Day dinner when I was 10 years old. The recipes were straight out of the Betty Crocker's Boys and Girl's Cookbook: Ham Loaf Hawaiian, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a heart shaped cake. I was working so hard cooking and baking that I didn't even get out of my pajamas in time for dinner! My mom loved it.

These recipes and menus will cover any situation for a Sunday in May, and all are geared to beginning cooks. From a make-ahead brunch to a picnic in the park, your mom will have a wonderful time.

Make sure to have a plan, make lists, and delegate duties so everyone in the family plays a part in the meals and the chores don't all fall on one person. Have fun!
