The tradition of celebrating this spring day and dedicating it to women has been alive for more than a dozen years, which means, naturally, there are symbols of this celebration. For example, it is difficult to imagine this day without flowers. Of course, tastes are different, but spring flowers are considered a classic choice. Surprisingly, a plant that in some countries is considered a weed bush, a fragrant mimosa with small yellow flowers, enjoys phenomenal success.
To begin with, it would be nice to decide when exactly this table is best for you to organize. On the one hand, holiday feasts often take place in the evening, but if you are in the mood for a surprise, why not start the morning with it. It's good that most of us have a day off. This means that your lady can sleep in longer while her man works his magic in the kitchen.
The picture shows the principle of classic banquet table setting. This is just in case you decide to organize everything in the highest class, including cooking a few different dishes so that all serving elements are used. It is worth knowing that serving begins after laying a fresh tablecloth and proceeds according to the principle: first the dishes, then the cutlery, and only after that the last crystal or glass is placed on the table.
This is a more simplified version that can be used to set the table for a festive breakfast. However, in my opinion, only a true perfectionist wants to do everything according to the rules, but we understand that the created mood and the desire to please your woman wholeheartedly are more important than the correct arrangement of cutlery.
The most suitable color scheme would be the spring range. And this is primarily light green, green, yellow, orange, peach, pink, blue. It is highly recommended to choose one of these colors and not some Christmas gold or silver.
Decor napkinsTypical cloth table napkins can easily be turned into a decorative accessory for a festive table. To do this, you need to fold it in any way you like, tie it with a ribbon, ribbon and add a flower to the composition.

5. Then a cucumber, grated on a coarse grater, followed by grated carrots. At the same time, you can lubricate each layer with mayonnaise, or, so as not to be too high in calories, do it through the layer.
6. With the last layer, lay out the yolk grated on a fine grater. And carefully remove the glasses.
7. We carefully remove the crumbs that have scattered around the edges with a napkin or a teaspoon.
8. And finishing touch, decorate the salad with greens, canned corn and carved flowers from protein. But you can just leave the number 8 without flowers. The salad will look beautiful as it is.
By the way, here is another version of the same design, but without any glasses. The salad may consist of any combination of layers. We spread them simply layer by layer, smearing with mayonnaise.
Then we cut out the number 8 from paper, put it on the salad and sprinkle with finely chopped green onion or other greens. We remove the paper. And from the edge we make a willow branch. Carefully laid out egg yolks act as kidneys.
What, you're talking too long to mess with such a salad? I agree, although this salad is not at all complicated, you still have to tinker with it a little. But with the next no fuss at all. Prepare it in 10 minutes, just buy the products in advance so that you have something to cook it from.

6. Mix all other ingredients, salt and pepper to taste. Also mix with mayonnaise.
Sometimes salt is not required, because if the chicken is smoked, it is already quite salty, besides, mayonnaise is also salty. Therefore, do not be zealous with salt. But a little freshly ground pepper does not hurt.
7. Put the mixed ingredients in a flat plate, giving them the shape of a hill. Arrange the remaining chopped prunes, sprinkle with cheese and garnish with large nuts.
The salad is very tender and incredibly tasty. And anyone can make one! The only thing you need is to boil the eggs and cut all the ingredients. Fast, simple and easy!

8. Put the salad in the refrigerator for 20 minutes so that all layers have time to soak in the dressing. Serve chilled.
If you managed to notice, this salad has some similarities with, of course, not in the composition of the main components, but in principle. I specifically do not offer Caesar recipes here, as many people know how to cook it. And if someone does not know how, then the link to it is higher.

Hot dishes for the festive table on the day of March 8
The menu of hot dishes can be the most diverse and includes almost everything that a man can cook. Prepare what you can. There is no need to rediscover America and come up with complex dishes that are unusual for yourself. For example, my husband cooks for March 8 from year to year.
He does it very well, the result is always predictable, that is, pilaf invariably turns out to be delicious. And it’s not difficult to cook it, besides, cooking pilaf is a purely male task in the East. Therefore, men are happy to take on this.
Our mothers, daughter and husband always gather for the holiday, sometimes my brother and his family drop by. And everyone is always happy to eat wonderful Uzbek pilaf. And no one in all these years has ever asked: “What, pilaf again?”
Another dish that men are happy to cook is this. They uncover their braziers that have been put away for the winter, and are happy to roast meat in the fresh air, even in the yards of apartment buildings. All neighbors treat this with great understanding, and even envy a little. And they will certainly tick off somewhere in their minds so that next year they will do exactly the same and thereby please their beloved women.
Shish kebab, by the way, can be cooked in the oven, or in an electric barbecue (if any), for example, from chicken. It is prepared without much hassle, most importantly, see how to do it in a separate article by clicking on the link.
You can also easily bake in the oven - carp, mountain trout, or some other, by the way, you can bake it with vegetables, or stuff it and bake it too.
Or you can marinate and bake a whole chicken in the oven. It's easy to do, and everyone probably knows how to do it. You can bake it simply in the oven, or on the grill in the same oven (if there is such a mode), or in a sleeve, or in a bag, which will make the task even easier, since after that you don’t have to wash the oven.
I was surprised to find that I don’t have a whole baked chicken recipe on my blog. There is, but no chicken. Therefore, I hasten to correct this oversight.
Whole oven baked chicken
We will need:
- whole chicken - 1 pc
- spices for chicken - any
- salt, pepper - to taste
Cooking:
1. Wash the chicken and let the water drain. Dry with paper towels.
2. To make the chicken tasty, it must be marinated. For the marinade, we need spices. You can use a ready-made set of spices for chicken, they are sold in all stores.
I usually prepare my own sets of spices, and for chicken it includes ground coriander, cumin, thyme, oregano, thyme, garlic, turmeric, paprika. Such a set gives not only great taste, but also an appetizing ruddy and beautiful crust.
3. Pour spices into a separate bowl, add salt and freshly ground pepper there. You can add regular pepper, but freshly ground pepper gives just an incredible flavor.
4. Now, with the resulting mixture, coat the whole chicken outside and inside and leave it to marinate for 30 - 40 minutes.
By the way, it can also be cut along the chest line, then the chicken will turn out not to be voluminous, but flat and bake faster.
5. 15 minutes before the end of this time, light the oven and put it on preheat. We will need a temperature of 180 degrees.
6. Now you need to decide how you will bake the chicken, in a bag, or on a baking sheet. By and large, it will be delicious anyway! Therefore, choose any way.
7. By placing the chicken in hot oven, leave it there to bake for 50 minutes. The time, of course, depends on the size of the chicken, it may take a little more time.
The criterion for readiness will be that our chicken will become ruddy, smell delicious, and it also looks very appetizing. When piercing the meat in its thickest part, pink juice should not appear on the surface.
8. When the chicken is completely ready, it must be taken out and cut into portions. You can serve it with any side dish and fresh vegetables. Well, or with any of the above salads that you prepare for this holiday.
Baking chicken in the oven is easy. And if you take into account all the points of the recipe, and follow them, the result will be simply amazing.
By the way, if you have dinner for two, and whole chicken there will be a lot, then you can bake only legs or thighs in the oven. And here is the recipe.
Chicken legs "Hawaiian mood" with sour cream sauce

On the eve of the main spring holiday, many men are wondering how to decorate the table for March 8th. After all, it is not easy for men, who are used to focusing on the result, to think through the decor and design of the festive table to the smallest detail.
This article will help them with this.
What materials can be used
First, decide which of the meals will be festively decorated: breakfast, lunch or dinner. Based on the set goals, select the dishes that you will serve.
Make a detailed list of products, taking into account all the little things. It will be a shame to discover the lack of ingredients on the day of the holiday. If you don't know yet, find out what flowers your woman likes, what colors she prefers.
For a beautiful table setting, you may need the following materials:
- tablecloths, fabrics for drapery
- beautiful crockery, glasses, cutlery
- napkins
- candles
- Balloons
- ribbons, bows, braid
- flowers, petals
- sequins, rhinestones, beads
- cardboard, colored paper, felt-tip pens, glue
- postcards
- straws for cocktails
- products for meals
It is not necessary to use all the materials from the list. Remember that too many decorations on your table can look gaudy and vulgar.
In order not to waste extra time and money searching, look at home - most of the materials can be found in the wife's household or in the daughter's craft chest.
Ideas for decorating and serving the festive table for March 8
The first thing to start with is to lay an elegant tablecloth. A win-win option is tablecloths in white, milky, beige colors. They refresh the table, do not distract attention from other decor elements and are in almost every home.
Plain tablecloths in bright colors also look beautiful. The main condition is that the tablecloth must be clean and carefully ironed.

Pick up dishes by the tablecloth. For light fabrics, bright plates with patterns or patterns are suitable, for colored ones - classic white or harmonious in color. Transparent dishes look solemn and combined with tablecloths of any color.

Be sure to use fresh flowers for serving. After all, March 8 is the first spring holiday. The aroma of fresh flowers will delight your woman and remind you that nature will soon wake up from its winter sleep.
Delicate tulips, daffodils, irises, snowdrops and roses will ideally cope with this task. The bouquet can be traditionally placed in a vase, or you can buy a plant in a pot.

Table setting is inconceivable without the use of napkins. They are most often picked up to a tablecloth or to plates. Napkins can be folded in an original way or threaded into a special ring.
Choose them in the store or make them yourself from beads, beads, wire. Fresh flowers, threaded into a ring or tied with a ribbon, look very gentle on a napkin.

Sweets baked with their own hands will delight women. And though most men consider creation confectionery overwork, in fact, everything is much simpler than it seems.
To guarantee an edible treat, you need to use simple recipes. One of these is the cupcake recipe. They do not need to be shaped and molded, but the result is a delicious treat. With the help of a pastry syringe and cream, you can create various inscriptions.
If you do not have time and desire to bake, order in advance ready-made cakes and cakes for the festive table.
With the help of vegetables and fruits, you can create a festive composition. For example, an appetizer "a bouquet of tulips" will decorate your table favorably.
The role of buds here is played by stuffed tomatoes, and the leaves are beautifully sliced cucumbers. cute chicks from boiled eggs will appeal to the little ladies.
Another option is to prepare a salad of any complexity, lay it out in the form of a figure eight and decorate with corn, egg yolks or mayonnaise. And for those ladies who follow their figure, a salad can be made from fruits and berries, seasoned with low-fat yogurt.

Candles will add solemnity, romanticism, comfort to your feast. There are a huge variety of them in stores: all kinds of colors, shapes, with various aromas.
Candlesticks can be used standard. Or, as in the photo below, use an inverted glass, and put fresh flowers or rhinestones inside.

Balloons are an essential attribute of the holiday. You can inflate the balloons with helium and fix them above the table, or hang them around the perimeter. Balls filled with sequins, sparkles and confetti look original.

A tablecloth strewn with rose petals looks very beautiful and romantic. You can buy them at any flower shop. Try to choose petals that match in color with the overall design of the table.

Useful for decorating the table for the holiday old postcards and colored paper. Cut out butterflies, hearts, flowers and decorate cocktail tubes with them. Or sprinkle them on a tablecloth.
Women will also be pleased with notes with wishes and compliments. You can even arrange a mini-game at the table. Write down the wishes that you will have to fulfill during the week after the holiday, and put one in the balloons.
Invite your loved one to hit the balls with darts. And do not skimp on desires, let the holiday for her last for several days.

Bowl fragrant coffee, brewed especially for her, toast, scrambled eggs or porridge, cooked with love, will provide her with a good mood in the morning.
To make breakfast look special, use heart-shaped molds and greenery or berry decorations.

How beautiful to present a gift
A festive feast is the perfect moment to present a gift. It is more convenient to give small gifts at the table, so if you plan to give large things for the holiday, we advise you to give them in advance or later.
Your present should be part of a festive dinner, so prepare a beautiful gift box that matches the overall table decor.
To create the effect of surprise, present a gift in a closed form for dishes. Let the hero of the occasion open it herself, expecting to see dessert there.
Girl or beloved woman, wife
It would be appropriate for a beloved woman, wife, girl to give a gold jewelry on March 8. Put it in a special box, tied with a ribbon, or lower it into a glass of champagne.
If you are going to give a gadget or perfume, you can put them on the table by placing lighted pill candles around.
Mom and grandmother
Grandmother and mother will be happy to receive a flower in a pot or a vase decorated with their own hands as a gift. Another option is to pre-order a painting from a photograph.
It can depict the woman herself or all members of your family. The older people are, the more sentimental they are. Therefore, mom and grandmother will appreciate such a gift.
Sister or aunt
You can give your sister and aunt a book by your favorite author, a diary, or a vintage photo frame. It is also convenient to present a ticket to the theater or a certificate for cooking classes at the table.
Put the gift in a beautiful envelope and hide under the plate. When the women finish their dinner and you clear the dishes, they will see the surprise and be delighted.
Daughter or granddaughter
Your daughter or granddaughter will be pleasantly surprised to receive a book with photos from their social networks as a gift. Books are printed on beautiful quality paper, bound and hardcover.
Young girls and girls are very fond of being photographed. Therefore, if you do not want to give their photos, give them the opportunity to take new ones.
A themed photo shoot is a great gift. Little female representatives will surely like a box with a delicious dessert.
How to make a decorative composition
If you still have not decided on a gift for your beloved women, a decorative composition with your own hands is a great option. A floating cup with “pouring out” flowers looks very gentle, cute and magical.
Everyone can do this song. Using hot glue, the two ends of the two-wire wire must be glued alternately to the cup and saucer, then fix the desired angle of inclination of the composition.
When the glue dries, the wire with the help of glue and wire must be hidden in the decor. A simplified version of such a composition is a cup filled with flowers, sweets or coffee beans.
Another idea for the composition is a wreath of flowers. From thick cardboard, you need to cut a ring of the size you need, glue it with adhesive tape for strength and decorate with flowers.
You can fix the decor with a stapler or wire. The finished decoration can be hung on the wall or front door.
A basket of flowers is also a good idea for a spring gift. The base can be bought or woven from newspapers. And fill with flowers or artificial fruits. And decorate the handle of the basket with bright ribbons, beads, rhinestones.
When creating compositions, you can use fresh flowers. Such a gift will exude a charming aroma, though only for a few days. If you want to extend the life of your surprise, use artificial flowers for decoration.
