Growing up we always had big Sunday dinners after church.  Roast Beef, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, peach cobbler.  I always tried to keep the tradition going when my children were growing up also.

we are usually out and about and stop and get something to eat, because we are too hungry at the time to wait till we get home to cook

When the kids were little, Sunday dinner was the big weekend event. Since the kids are all grown, my wife and I mostly eat out on Sundays.

Spending time with family and friends is a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon and evening.  I have always appreciated those traditions as well.

Growing up we always did, but I just cook a normal meal now.  Grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles are all dead and cousins are spread out over the country.  Even my kids don't live that close like we all did growing up.  It's sad, but I guess that's life now.   :(

Sometimes.  My brother and I live together but my mom usually comes over on Sunday so we cook something.  My mother always cooked a big sunday meal when we all were at home but she isn't much into cooking anymore especially since my Dad died recently.

No not all the time but every once in a while I will eat out or either cook something like a small dinner. The only time I will cook a big Sunday dinner is like on a holiday or special occasion

I do cook big Sunday dinners but it's mostly big on holidays and special occasions that fall on this day. For instance, if New Year's fall on a Sunday I will cook a big meal that will last for almost a week, however, if the New Year's day falls on any other day I  would either cook something simple, order take-out or just go out to eat.

I used to, but the older the kids get the less interested they are in the traditional Sunday dinner. Don't mess with the big Saturday brunch though!

For a lot of years and when  I was growing up we always had Sunday dinner it was a day that the whole family gets together.  We stopped it for a few years because we were all doing different things in life.  My mom just pasted away a couple of months ago and it in someways made the family better and we are now having Sunday dinner again with all my family.  It is great thing that we started again to bring back family it is something my mom wouldd want to do.  But it is sad that it is with out her.

Sad that you waited until too late for your Mom.  But I know she loves that you are all back doing it.  We try to get everyone together on usually the first Sunday of the month.  Otherwise the little kids change and grown too much!.  It is almost pot luck, we give everyone something they have to bring.  Butter and rolls. vegetable plate, side dish, dessert.  Then we all get together but it is not all the work on one person.  So we can all relax and enjoy. :wave: :heart:

No, we just have regular meals unless my dad does something special since that's not a work day. But, we don't do anything too fancy.

I love cooking big dinners, but this Sunday I was traveling so "NO"!  But whenever possible I would love to cook a big dinner for family and friends, just because and to bring everyone together. ;D ::)

As a child growing up I remember having a big dinner or get together on Sundays. These days me and my family get to together for a casual meal and a movie to chat.
