So this next recipe I can't take credit for. Instead I'm going to feature a new recipe my amazing mother tried out! But I can't not give a little tribute to my momma, Lucy. My mom is by far the most amazing woman I've ever met. Her journey has not been easy, but if you met her you'd never know. She never talks bad about anyone. I mean sure, she has her hilarious sarcastic comments, but that's a whole different story.... :) There is never a dull moment with her because we are constantly making jokes with each other. Jokes that probably wouldn't even be funny to anyone else, but between my mom and my sisters and I we laugh for hours about the same thing! Back when we all lived at home we would have big Sunday dinners every week, and for some reason that's when the giggles got really bad.... Namely when we were just about to say a prayer to bless the food. Someone would smirk as they bowed their head and then it would start. One concealed laugh was contagious to all of us and before you knew it our eyes were watering. About absolutely nothing! Except the inevitable knowledge we all had that it was Sunday afternoon and we needed to pray. My little brother would get quite annoyed with us silly girls (don't forget my mom is totally included in this!) so whenever he'd pray he would always ask Heavenly Father to please make his sisters stop giggling... which as you can imagine only made it worse :) My mom is my best friend. That sounds super cliche but it couldn't be more true. Sure I had amazing girl friends but no one quite listened and understood me like my mom. She gives the best advice, whether its cooking, shopping, sports or boys. She always knew what to say whether I wanted to hear it or not. There is no better example of what I want to be when I grow up than that gorgeous woman. I love you mom!
