It’s Mother’s Day, and what better way to have a special Sunday dinner than to prepare something delicious just for your mom! She’ll love this meal of Greek-style steak and tomato salad — it’s an all-in-one meal you can make just for her.
Start and end the day around mom
Many people start Mother’s Day off with special breakfasts or lunches, but why stop there? Round out the day by making mom a special dinner, too! By the time you make it to dinner, your family might want something that’s easy to put together, but that’s still super-special.
An adult or older family member can help with the steaks, while the younger kids can wash the tomatoes or set the table. A perfect way to get everyone (except mom) involved!
