A Tribute to Mothers
In this day in age, more and more men are involved in cooking for their household. However when I grew up, that was not the norm. When I think back to how I learned to cook, it was from my mother. My mom wasn't a fancy cook, but she indirectly taught me the basics of planning out meals, cooking with what was on hand, and how to prepare meals. I know we always had three meals a day and it was expected that you ate together as a family. We always had foods from all different food groups, including vegetables. Low-fat cooking wasn't always the norm back then either. Therefore, I am great at making cookies, tortes, and other desserts.
As we celebrate Mother's Day this weekend, I hope you will reflect on what your mom taught you in and out of the kitchen. I encourage you to ask your mom what her favorite recipe is. Maybe you could make it together sometime. I know that I can't wait to share with my daughter our family cookie recipe.
Thank you to mothers for all that you do. Happy Mother's Day.
