#7- Skillet Cornbread

My mother taught me how to make cornbread when I was 12 years old. And I’m not sure I’ve made it the same way twice. It depends on what I have on hand and what I’m serving it with. Sometimes I add chopped bacon or sliced green onions or shredded Cheddar. This time I added dollops of cream cheese to make this Skillet Cornbread creamy and sweet!

#8- 7 Layer Salad

7 Layer Salad is a classic chopped salad–a favorite for picnics, potlucks and family gatherings for years. Layers of chopped lettuce, veggies, bacon and cheese are covered with a creamy dressing to make a tasty salad.

#9- Creamy Coleslaw

Serve Creamy Coleslaw with fried chicken, sliced ham or crunchy fish for a tasty meal. It can be made ahead and complements almost any meal. Chopping your cabbage and carrots in the food processor makes the recipe super easy. Mix it together with the creamy dressing and you’ve got a bright, crunchy salad to serve with almost any main dish.

#10- Quick and Easy Deviled Eggs

This classic recipe for deviled eggs requires only a handful of ingredients and can be made in 20 minutes. They can be made in advance and put in the refrigerator, giving you more time to spend with family on Mother’s Day!
