The woman behind my Mama''s Recipe

Growing up in the North Georgia Mountains was a real treat for me and my brothers. We were the youngest of my parents six children and my mother raised my brothers and I as a single widowed parent. At the time of our father's death, I was 6 years old. My youngest brother was 4 and my oldest brother was 9.

 Breakfast, lunch and dinner were our most precious time for not just eating but fellowship as well. My mother and I did all the cooking, which was also our mother and daughter time together. My brothers enjoyed the benefits of tasting and eating  whatever my mother and I were preparing for each meal. Various food favorites sometimes were eaten at more than one meal. For example, biscuits would be eaten at dinnertime and the next morning as a breakfast food. Biscuits were always served with homemade jams and jellies. Also any leftover bread was usually frozen and used later in the year to make cornbread dressing with the Turkey at Thanksgiving.

Ultimately my mama's recipes provided me a sense of confidence and assurance that I could do whatever I set out to do. My mother always enjoyed having her youngest daughter in the kitchen with her since my older sisters didn't share her passion for cooking. I hope that your experience with looking through my blog causes you to reflect, reminisce and relate to enjoying and sharing timeless opportunities with those you love.
