Mom's Favorite!

So I am trying to finish emptying out our freezer because as you all know we are moving so I pull out some pork country ribs and it comes to my attention that I have all of the ingredients to make pork with red sauce, red rice and black re fried beans yummy! It amazes me that I can look in my pantry and freezer and still be able to make solid meals like this one, it is one of my Mom's favorites and mine as well. To me food brings back memories of me being my Mom's little helper in the kitchen she always had me cutting, washing or peeling something and I still remember her words and her tips as she prepared dinner. I want to pass these traditions on to my children especially cause they are so interested in cooking, when we make cookies they each have a specific job and they know it they remember recipe's by the ingredients that they get to put in the blender or food processor. My children amaze me each and every day and I am proud to be there mother!

Sooo Mommy.

I was getting all of the kids ready this morning to take them to school and Michael says "so mommy what are you making for dinner tonight" ? I was like I don't know why do you have any requests? He looks down and then I see the smile light up his face and then he looks up and says "fried chicken with your French fries". So I said sure why not. I am just happy that he likes my fried chicken now he is such a picky eater so I indulge whenever I can. One day I know he will give in and try new and interesting flavors. Well I can dream can't I! Hope everyone likes the pic!
