C6—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 10,1980 <#> Borne On The Bongo Mother’s Day or any day treat your tastes to something new Mother’s Day means different things to different age groups. To mothers with grown children, it often means a visit from the kids and their kids. To the younger mother, it often means a day of visiting the in-laws. And to the expectant mother, it means a day of wondering what next Mother’s Day will bring. Whatever the age group, all mothers like surprises, especially when the surprise is a meal she doesn’t have to cook or clean up after. And in the event she’s entertaining her mother, a quick meal she can make the day before and have ready to go on Sunday will make her day more en joyable. Today’s recipes include a salad and casseroles as well as chicken recipes. All can either be made ahead or are simple to make, so that maybe dad and the kids could give them a try. Also in today’s column, we’ve included some of the reapes from last week’s Kountry Kitchen Tour. So if your friends are begging copies, or if you were unable to make the tour, why not clip these and try them on your family and friends.
