If you were to ask me who the best cook is that I know, I would say my mom without hesitation.  I don’t remember a time when she didn’t come home and cook a homemade meal after a day at work.  She is a superhero, an inspired and adventurous cook, and the best mom.

I talk about food a lot on here, but I don’t talk about all of the wonderful things she makes.  I thought I would highlight a few meals each week, not only to give you a glimpse into what kinds of things I eat at night, but also so I can look back at my mom’s awesome repertoire.
