Celebrating Mother's Day 2011 with Dinner

Last year, for Mother's Day, I made my mom mini frittatas with sausage, broccoli and cheese, baked directly inside a muffin tin.  These individual servings of eggs were a big hit with my mom and many of you out there have liked the recipe as well (thank you!)

When this Mother's Day approached, I asked my mom what would she like me to cook for dinner.  Surprisingly, she had something else in mind - she wanted me to clean her refrigerator.  As glamorous as it might be, this wasn't exactly my idea of fun, but since I asked, I could hardly refuse her.  

So there I was, over at my parents' house, cleaning the refrigerator after spending 6 hours working in a busy bakery on Mother's Day.  But the story doesn't end there.  Afterall, I showed up to the house with a bouquet of flowers and a bag of groceries - there was dinner to be made!

I decided on Mushroom and Dill Risotto, Roasted Salmon with Dill and Lemon, and Roasted Asparagus.

(Photographing risotto turned out harder than expected).

What did you cook or eat this Mother's day?
