This blog is dedicated to my mother, Mandy Williams, who inspired many people and family members with her sweet Christian spirit. Momma died November, 2008, but her legacy lives on. While going through her things with my brother, I quickly scooped up some of her many recipe books and boxes. Although I'm sure she didn't try most of the recipes she collected, they are all reminders of the types of foods she loved to cook.
Some of my most vivid memories involve our family meals, meager though they usually were. Momma always made sure we had a hot breakfast before going to school and I've tried to keep that tradition going at my home with my family. (My kids didn't always appreciate or want the warm breakfast or any breakfast for that matter!) But I always tried. Until failing health claimed her independence, she made sure there was always something to eat the moment we entered her house.
Although I haven't seen the new movie, Julie and Julia yet, I have been inspired to try some of Momma's recipes and report how well my cooking craft resembles my memory of hers.
Momma, here's to you and your happier times!
