Question

Whats the best meal i can make my mom on her birthday for 20 dollars or less?

Answer 1

20 dollars is more than enough to prepare an excellent meal.  Spend the most on a great cut of meat or fish (ask the people at the store to help out -- Whole Foods has very good meats and fish), the second-most on fresh vegetables, and the rest on accompaniments.  Keep the starch simple, like easy roasted potatoes or couscous.  When you cook with high quality ingredients, heavy (and often expensive) sauces and tons of extras are so unnecesary.  Think about the things she likes and go from there.  I'm sure no matter what you make, she'll be thrilled.  Also, check out allrecipes.com for ideas.  Good luck!

Answer 2

My suggestion is get a few boneless skinless chicken b*****s, fettucini noodles, heavy whipping cream,cream cheese,butter [for alfredo sauce] french bread, and salad!! She will LOVE it!! And it is a delicous easy meal to make..even if you buy jar alfredo sauce, it is still yummy!! My local grocery store also sells small (4-6 people) italian creme cakes. That would be the perfect dinner. SHE WILL APPRECIATE IT, AND HAVE A GREAT B-DAY!

Answer 3

maybe hamburgers. hotdogs. chips get some pop and make her a b-day cake. she will love it!

Answer 4

you could probably make spaghetti under $20 dollars with some garlic bread and you could make some tea. all dinner would cost is about...hmm..i'd say around $12 dollars so then you have enough to buy cake mix and some ice cream for desert. She'll love what ever you make anyway.
