LOOKING for: Ideas For Mom's Birthday

Hi folks -

My mother will be turning a very young 86 in a couple of weeks. I've invited 2 couples to her house for Sunday dinner; of course I'll be doing the cooking and clean-up.

One couple is adventurous, one isn't. My mother fancies herself a vegetarian, but that just means that she won't eat pork or red meat (unless it's a hamburger - LOL!). She'll eat chicken readily unless it looks like a chicken.

Hey - she's entitled. :-)

I'm an ok cook but not great, and since I live alone and don't always cook for myself, I don't have a large repertoire.

My mom loves French Onion Soup, so I might start with that. I had thought maybe lasagna (I have a favorite from Bon Apetit), but it's a bit spicy and I'm now pretty sure it's not a good idea.

Any thoughts on other options (and recipes, please) if I don't go the lasagna route (which I probably won't)?

Many thanks - - Suzieque
