Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day my friends!  Mothers Day for me is a sweet and also tender day for me. I miss my Mom so very much sometimes it still hurts. She has been gone nearly six years now and I, at times, will still feel like it was just yesterday that she graduated onto her next great adventure. She was the very best mom to, and for me and I hope to honor her in every way I  can. How I love her! This very blog is partially because of her amazing cooking. Some of her recipes had been recorded but many where still in her head. I want my kids to be able to find my recipes when I am no longer here.  (I am making assumptions that they want them HAHA!! but I hope they do) I also love to celebrate motherhood in all its glory.

(FUN!) Smooth it back out allowing for the wrinkles to exist. Lay the tissue out on your freezer paper to measure and cut to size.
