I don’t know how much I have really talked about my family here, but I am insanely close to them. Since moving to the East Coast from the Midwest I don’t get to see them nearly as much as I would like, but I can always feel close to my mom by simply stepping into my kitchen. Growing up I was always in the kitchen with my Mother or my Grandmother, even as a child I loved to cook. My mom is an incredibly beautiful woman, inside and out, and no matter how much she had on her plate, we always had a hot home cooked meal on ours. This is one of those classic recipes that takes me right back to childhood; while I made a few adjustment to it from the way she passed it down to me, it tastes just like Mom’s. Thanks for everything Mom, especially my stellar cooking skills.
