I’ve definitely expanded my recipe repertoire! We actually aren’t much of a meat-and-potatoes family anymore. But I still cherish some of my mom’s recipes too. 😋
Hi Linda. It is hard losing parents, isn’t it? It has been 3 1/2 years for my dad and 7 1/2 for my mom. Sure doesn’t feel like that long ago. I appreciate the “I learned from the best” as I would say that to my mom as well. She had chronic rheumatoid arthritis for many years and I felt she also taught me how to age gracefully, although she was quite independent and didn’t let us help too easily. I have tears still now recalling the great gatherings she would plan and accomplish with seeming ease, despite the arthritis. I feel so fortunate to have so many years with her, and my dad. 💕
Most days, my memories just bring a warm feeling. But then, out of the blue, the tears will hit me. I’m glad they do. I don’t want to stop missing them. Thanks for sharing a little of your experience. I think we can all relate on some level. ❣️
Awww...thanks for sharing that sweet memory. She sounds like a very special lady! Keep treasuring those moments, the person you remember she was, as well as who she is now! 💜
I learned Midwestern cooking from my mom too.....and expanded it over the years. But I still have and use many of her recipes.
