Sizzle Up
Well, Mom, you’ve made it
through another year. Another
year of getting up in the morning
and making breakfast for Dad and
the kids; of working in the bam or
office then preparing lunch and
dinner. Another year of washing
the dishes, cleaning the house,
doing the laundry, and taking care
of the sick, and always being there
for the child in need.
You probably don’t always feel
loved and appreciated. Maybe you
feel your teen agers don’t remem
ber anything that you taught them.
But one thing you can count on,
they remember the good meals
you’ve cooked. And when it’s the
kids turn to be parents, they search
for recipes like Mom used to make.
Today’s column is dedicated to
Mom’s favorite recipe chances
are, it was her mom’s favorite
recipe also. And for generations,
these recipes will be passed down
to the children who will recall
memories of mother’s cooking and
all the hard work that went into
being a mother.
Happy Mother’s Day!
