recipes: Memories of my mother and her cooking

Earlier this week Lise Howe posted memories of her mother's cooking and requested that we share a recipe that our mothers cooked. Since reading that post, and with Mother's Day fast approaching, I've been thinking a lot about my mom. I have such fond memories of her and appreciate her more with each passing year. Her faith, her spirit of adventure (heading off to Europe with only a backpack--when she was in her 60s), her unwavering belief in her children and unconditional love. She made the simplest of activities special and memorable, turned hardships into fun, and introduced us to the wonderful world … (42 comments)

Okay, I get it - while many are posting absolutely ghoulish food creations for Halloween, I'll go the other direction - am I a rebel at heart? I remember well the excitement of Halloween in my house when the girls were little. They could barely contain their excitement and wait until at least dusk when we'd head out in the neighborhood for some Trick or Treating.
