Ten on Tuesday - Ten Favorite Sunday Dinners

Not really Sunday dinner, but I needed a photo!  :)

 
I have some good childhood memories about meals shared with my family on Sundays.  Things have changed now though and we usually eat out after church.  

1.  "Birthday dinner" - Whenever we met at my grandma's to celebrate my dad's and uncle's birthdays, we would have the same meal and it was dee-lish-ous!  We always had Swiss steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, baked apples and German Chocolate cake for dessert.

2.  Roast beef - I remember my mom making a roast many Sundays.  Roast beef, mashed potatoes, vegetables... yum!

3.  Pizza - I'm Italian on my mom's side and when we got together my grandpa would make the best pizza.

4.  Chicken - I also think that roasted chicken with mashed potatoes (are you seeing a theme here?) and corn is really yummy.

5.  Shish kabob - We often grill out on Sunday evenings and when we do, Emma likes to have shish kabob.  To make it easier to cook, we combine like things on the same skewers then get what we want after it's cooked.

6.  Rhea's special - This is our current tradition.  There is a great hamburger place near us and I usually get the Rhea's special and we share fries.  The special is a hamburger on Texas Toast.  I get it with everything on it.  So good but not so good for me. 

I'll stop here.  It's not quite ten items.  Maybe I need to bring back Sunday dinner and I'll use ideas I get from Carole and her Ten on Tuesday friends!

Don't forget about the cookbook giveaway!

My mother would have been horrified at the idea of going out to eat after church. I, on the other hand, love the idea! Times sure have changed!

My mom always made a big brunch after church - eggs, sausage, some kind of potatoes and muffins. funny, I don't have any memories of what we'd have for dinner on sundays...just brunch.

I think going out after church is a big thing in the south. I remember we'd always go out for "meat and three" when we visited my grandparents in southern Alabama. where "dinner" is always the noontime meal.

Mmm- I love the birthday dinner. Can I come to your house for my birthday???

meat and tatters-yum, and i love kabobs, great way to get veggies and protein without heating up the kitchen.

Those sounds good, especially the roast. I remember my parents had a photo of me with roast beef, mashed potatoes, a bowl of gravy, and green beans when I was 3 or 4. When I had my tonsils out, my last real meal in the hospital was roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans, LOL
