Flailing Economy Keeps Families at Home for Mother's Day
More than half of families plan to celebrate Mother's Day at home this year instead of going out to dinner, citing the poor economy as the reason for staying in, according to a recent survey by Recipe4Living.com
Not only do the majority of people anticipate cooking at home, but the number of people planning to celebrate Mother's Day at home has gone up more than 15 percent from the previous year, implying that the current economic state in this country is impacting how Americans celebrate holidays.
"The results of this survey reinforce the trends that we have been seeing on Recipe4Living in the past few months," Editor Maxine Glass said. "Keyword terms like 'budget cooking,' 'ground beef,' and 'chicken casseroles' are among our most popular recipe searches."
When asked what dishes they plan to make for Mother's Day, 70 percent of home cooks said they plan to cook traditional main courses compared to the 20 percent who will cook fancy main courses. Further reinforcing the effect of the economy on cooking habits, an overwhelming number of people said they would cook a recipe like "Chicken and Rice Casserole" instead of a recipe that calls for lobster or shrimp.
Among Recipe4Living's most visited recipe categories are Chicken Casserole Recipes, Crockpot, Appetizers and Quick & Easy.
