There’s no better way to get the belly rumbling than with a delightful appetiser, so why not kick off your Mother’s Day meal with some easy starters? With so many amazing choices, our first recommendation for a simple but mouth-watering combo goes to this chorizo and watermelon canapes recipe from Morrisons. An unusual pairing at first glance, the smoky flavour of the chorizo is offset perfectly by the sweet tang of the melon. Plus with only three ingredients it comes out as one of the all-time cheap recipes on the web, especially with a Morrisons discount code to hand! Those who’d rather steer away from meat can find some equally indulgent vegetarian starters amongst Morrison’s recipes. For example you can have these baked pears with Stilton and honey prepped and in the oven in minutes for less than £5. If your tastes lie more on the savoury side, go Italian with Zizzi’s recipe for arancini. A classic Mediterranean starter, these fried rice balls make for a great way to get your hands dirty and share a laugh with Mum. Cheese and peas form the delicious centre in this particular method but feel free to substitute for your choice of Napolitana sauce or sundried tomatoes.

Pasta is one of those easy to make meals that has a million different variants to sample and enjoy. While spaghetti dishes like Bolognese and carbonara are household staples, we think that it’s equally appetising cousin linguine doesn’t get the love it deserves. Thankfully you can find plenty of twists on the linguine dish in the Waitrose recipe selection that can be done in less than thirty minutes. If you and your Mum are vegetarians, take your pick between the lively pesto linguine with halloumi and sweet cherry tomatoes or the deliciously healthy spinach pasta with savoy cabbage and gorgonzola. These are just a hint of the variety that the recipes at Waitrose offers, but both make for quick and affordable meals thanks to their quick assembly and that both require less than ten ingredients each. Pescatarian families meanwhile can put some added zing into their pasta using the Waitrose smoked salmon, dill and lemon linguine recipe – delicious! Don’t think you’ll be paying restaurant prices either, especially when you’ve got the latest Waitrose deals to keep your grocery budget in the green.

Though definitely not the first choice when thinking of cooking with Mum, there’s actually a lot you can do besides a basic burger. If our selection of starters didn’t get you to put your trust in supermarket recipes, then we dare you to turn your nose up at Morrison’s recipe for chicken and avocado burgers. An understated twist on the classic chicken burger, avocado makes for a healthy and complementary substitute for your traditional bacon or cheese – and with the right supermarket discount it won’t cost you much either! Meat-free mothers and their kids meanwhile can sink their teeth into this plant-based harissa burger from HelloFresh recipes. The spicy harissa paste and sharp red wine vinegar that comprise the toppings ensure each bite equals its meaty counterpart for flavour – and with our most recent HelloFresh discount code you can secure a trial subscription for a fraction of the price. Having your ingredients delivered straight to your door is a much-loved bonus, so check out all the other delicious dishes HelloFresh offers to make the most of your family kitchen time.

Who says you can’t share a delicious meal with Mum and not keep it healthy? Salads make for the ideal lunch with Mum, and with the dozens of styles, ingredients and toppings to choose from, it’s easy to make something interesting in little time. Gousto is certainly confident it’s up to the challenge thanks to its pesto chicken caprese salad – combining creamy mozzarella with a herbal infusion of basil nut pesto and rocket, finished with tangy balsamic vinegar and crunchy croutons for a taste that lingers long after you swallow. Those preferring something more exotic won’t be disappointed with the Gousto meal kit for chilli-lime sweet potato & rice salad. A phenomenal plant-based alternative to meat, this eastern-inspired dish is chock full of ingredients that delicately balance between sweet and spicy – lime, soy sauce, cashew nuts and pumpkin seeds to name but a few. Once again these recipes and ingredients are delivered straight to your doorstep, so jump on our most recent Gousto discount and dive into a world of easy to make recipes.
