Today's Ten on Tuesdays topic is Ten Favorite Sunday Dinners. When the weather has turned from summer to fall the menu tends to change as well. A little less grilling and a little more cooking. Back when I was a child and even when my own older children were little we always had a large Sunday dinner after church. I kind of miss how much less hurried life seemed during those days, don't you?
Here is my list of Favorite Sunday Dinners…brings back happy memories. 🙂
1. Pot Roast with roasted vegetables….so delicious.
2. Lasagna
3. Spagetti and Meatballs (My mom's sauce has been passed down from her, to me, to my daughters….it's very yummy and not chunky)
4. Roast Chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy.
5. New England Boiled Dinner…..although I hated the cabbage.
6. Meatloaf….the way I make it
7. Homemade Baked Macaroni and Cheese
9. Baked Ham with raisin sauce….mmmmm.
10. Chicken and Dumplings
There you have it. Of course these days of watching my weight a lot of these are things I can only have once in a while, but as the days get cooler, we will indulge now and then. Did you eat the big Sunday Dinners when you were younger?

We usually had something that could cook the whole time we were in church (which meant it was often overcooked).:)
Many of us have our favorite family meals and Sunday traditions. Happy Birthday, dear friend!

Happy Bday! Posole (Mexican Pork & Hominy Soup) and Tortellini Soup are our favorite cool weather dishes. Even though we haven’t had cool weather yet, I made Posole the other night. LOVE IT!

Sunday dinner was a regular thing at our house, too, and I loved all that comfort food. We never had chicken and dumplings, though, because my mom couldn’t stand the texture of dumplings. I always wanted to try them! Happy Birthday, sweetie!

Paella was my favorite dish–Dad was from Spain and I would beg him to make it for me all the time.

Happy birthday, and thanks for all the luscious yarn you make! My favorite meal, as a child, and actually now too, is gumbo. It isn’t a good mid-day meal, as it takes a while of almost constant tending, but boy is it good! Especially in cold weather, not that in Louisiana we get much of that!

I remember having the meals you mentioned for Sunday dinner at my Grandma’s as a kid growing up. Such great memories… They’re now a part of my family’s repertoire. However, our all time favorite is homemade tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches; simple but so tasty

Happy Birthday girlfriend! We never had Sunday dinners per se only when I was in British boarding school and it was always roast lamb with mint jelly and apple pie.

Pot roast and fried chicken were usually our Sunday dinners–no complaints, I loved both. Many of the dinners listed were served as holiday meals or on other days of the week.
And since there’s never too much of a good thing–HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We DID have Sunday dinner. Pot roast was always my favorite; the old fashioned cooker had a steam vent that made a tinny “blip, blip, blip” noise for hours before dinner, and I loved that noise. In my father’s little upstate New York town, the table really groaned on Sundays – roast beef AND ham AND chicken. Good thing we only visited there once a year!
We’ve been quite surfy down here in Rockport, too.

Happy B-day! And yes, we always had a big Sunday dinner growing up…and because my mother was a Brit and I grew up there, it was usually roast beef, roasted vegetables–wonderful potatoes with a lovely crunchy crust–and a glorious Yorkshire Pudding, all covered with homemade gravy. And a trifle for dessert. Okay, now I am hungry.
Like you, weight factors being what they are (and $$$) means this kind of meal occurs only at special times, such as Christmas.
