Sunday dinner

Growing up we always had a big dinner on Sunday, it wasn't always the same meal but always big! Now that I do the cooking we have very few BIG Sunday dinners but I try to make it a nice meal every Sunday or at least a home cooked meal where we all are sitting together to eat

Oh Sunday meal, I mean Sunday dinner. Yes absolutely it should be different. But we hardly make it different still some Sundays are special. On those special Sundays we go for some extra. But what to tell my wife is a vegetarian I am non veg and my son is ambiterian ( this is my coinage - means he sometime shares two pieces of chicken and most of the time not) My wife prepares pork well. So that is my thing and this and that but Beef? Tauba tauba we never touch that. No Hindu should be offered beef. Personally I have nothing against it but I can not take it for mental blockage.

I get down on Sunday! I have made it a habbit to eat all fruits,vegitables, grains during the week. Pretty much a vegitarian diet during the week and saturday - but on Sunday I Pig Out!!! So I think about what I am going to hook up on sunday all week - Tomorrow I am hooking up some Blackeyed Pea cornbread - I am going to smoke some lobsters with extra fattening butter sauce - Collard greens with smoked turkey (I stay compleatly away from pork) - I think I may fry some okra to snack on all day -yuum I can't wait!

right now I don't do any kind of big sunday dinner my girls are really young right now and at the stage where they want chicken nuggets and fries or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I don't feed the nuggets to them as much as the peanut butter sandwiches. When I was growing up we didn't have big Sunday dinners. When my kids do get older I do want to cook every Sunday and have them over for dinner to see whats going on in their lives. To keep us a close family.

I absolutely do not have a Big Sunday dinner because Sunday is known in this house as being "our day", Hubby and I, and we decided a long time ago that it would be meant for us to do as we please, whether it be watch TV, sleep all day, be Online, watch movies etc. Hubby does not want me to be in the kitchen all day. That is not to say that we do not eat, we always have a nice meal whether it be something I had cooked on Saturday for Sunday or maybe we order something out, it really does not matter to us. What matters to us is that we had the day together, no appointments, no business, no house cleaning, laundry, every day living, just a day to enjoy together and prepare for the week ahead that somehow always ends up being chaotic! ;)

We had the roast beef dinner as well but at my grandmothers who was an awesome cook. Once in a while she would switch it up for chicken and dumplings. Yummy!! We would go to church and then go to my grandparents to spend the day. It is actually a very good memory for me!

Roast beef was a staple at my house when I was a child, too, but we also had other things. My favorite were the Sunday's when my mother made fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and baked beans. In fact, that's still one of my favorite meals now. Meals were different back then, because we ate whole foods, and they were all home cooked. There were no fast foods or processed foods on our table. We had meat, potatoes, and vegetables or fruits every night for supper and for dinner on Sundays. Now kids will hardly eat meals like these, but they were the best. When my kids were growing up, I served them the same types of meals. No matter how tired I was when I got home from work, I cooked supper for my family.

i remember when i was growing up, my mum use to say how their family had a sunday roast. we have never had an occasion where we call it a sunday roast thou.. but my parents usually cooked a roast about once a fortnight not on any particular day thou just as a special dinner, mainly because we were a big family and we would all say we will be at home at e.g. a time for dinner

Growing up Sunday dinner was always Pasta Day. It's funny you would think I would be tired of it but I have continued the tradition and leave my Sundays for some kind of pasta. I start the Sauce early and slow cook it and all my neighbors can smell it on the floor of the apartment building I live in.

hello sandymay it seemed like when i was growing up, every single Sunday my Mom or Grandmother would always fix fried chicken and all of the fixings to go with the chicken. mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, cole slaw, corn on the cob, and biscuits. and i could expect to eat that every Sunday that rolled around. but these days, i do not fix something special on sunday for dinner. i cook whatever that everybody in the family would also like to eat and also what that i might like to have. i do not know if i could handle eating the same thing like that again come every Sunday. lol and i guess that we were lucky to have something good to eat like that when that we were growing up. lol i would have rather had the roast beef like you did than the fried chicken each week thou. lol take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

I know what you mean! Ours was always fried chicken with all the trimmings. I have dinner every Sunday and the kids come and eat but it's not always chicken. Sometimes we do Italian or just whatever but it is always a big meal. THis week Chickn is on the menu though! LOL I guess some things never leave us huh?

hi sandymay,on sunday i get the chance to take my lunch at home with all other family members.so its always a special one.and i think we do have different recepies but they keep repeating after certain intervals.but i really like the chilli mushroom on our sunday spl...

The traditional roast is always our Sunday dinner, always has been since I was a kid. Most Sundays we would have dinner at my Parents or my partners parents. It is always nice to have a nice family get together. But I have to say even after all these years I still never tire of the roast, it is my favourite meal of the week

HI mt beloved friend Sandy. Thanks a lot dear. No wtell me how is you?

No, I do not make a special dinner on Sundays. I just make whatever we have around. It's not the same dinner over and over on Sundays. Sometimes we will eat out and sometimes I will make it. Just depends on what we feel like that day.

Yes we have special dinner at home on every Sundays. My wife is a great cook and whatever she cooks is special for me. But still on Sundays she makes whatever i likes keeping in mind the taste should be the best. I enjoy my Sunday dinner the most, eating full stomach, no time limit. I have dinners only on Saturdays and Sundays at home, rest of the days i have in my office canteen which i am really bored of so meals on these two days are really very yummy for me and i enjoy them a lot.

Sunday was always a roast dinner followed by some sort of pie. I tried to make Sunday meals specail but Sunday is just another day here in Japan. There is no feeling of it being a holiday, all the shops are open but the offices, schools and factories are closed. Yesterday I made tempura, vegetables covered in batter and fried, steamed fish, miso soup, rice and salad. Big dinner!! Sometimes when I can get a big piece of meat I will do a roast, my teenage boys love it!!

There's only the wife and I, but Sundays are one of my favorite days of the week because of the special meals my wife prepares most of the time. This week we're having a roast beef with drippings. She always adds a can of beef broth when cooking rather than the bullions. I think that's the real secret in such a good tasting roast beef dinner. She adds onions and some sea salt and pepper and we cook the rest of the vegetables in a different pot from the roast. We even have pulled beef from the roasted beef and use the drippings as a dip for our sandwiches. It's very yummy! I sometime even barbeque on that day when the weather permitts..

as a kid we always had sunday dinner too. after church of course. it was different every week atleast but since we had a big meal we never had dinner sunday night. my mother still does it. personally i don't do it. i wish i could, it would be nice. we usually do wednesday night. my kids who don't live with me come over and we have dinner. all of them don't come over every week but we try to do it every wednesday. it was hard when i worked but now since i am home it is easier to do it during the week.

I only had big dinners on sunday a couple times per month, but it was always a boiled dinner made in a crockpot with beef and potatos and cabbage. I to this fay cannot eat cabbage. My boyfriend and I have been living together about six months now and we just moved from one apartment to one for just the two of us and I wanted to start making amazing home cooked meals every sunday. I want to start a tradition between the two of us. We cook dinner together most nights of the week, but it's not always something amazing. Tonight I plan on making a turkey dinner, with mashed potatos, biscuits, gravy and cranberry sauce. I think it would be great if we could get into the habit of having a huge dinner on sundays so we have something to look forward to each weekend
