Filed under: Websites , Food The best meals of ours lives are the ones that we’ve eaten hundreds of times. From holiday celebrations to weeknight dinners, it’s the meals lovingly prepared by our mothers that truly stick with us and mean the most. A few months ago, one of my mother’s close friends told her how her mother, during the final few months of her life, made certain that her children and grandchildren learned how to prepare some of her signature recipes – the same recipes that had become the culinary hallmark of their family celebrations. Sure, the recipes were delicious, but the real gift was how a few simple ingredients would now instantly evoke memories of their mother and grandmother years after she had passed away. Upon hearing her friend’s story, my mother thought “what better way to express the love and appreciation we all have for our mothers than by creating a place where we could share their recipes and the stories that go along with them?” Though her own mother didn’t so much have a recipe box as a reused grocery bag filled with often illegible, often imprecise, often crumbling pieces of paper of unknown origin, My Mom’s Recipe Box seemed like the perfect name. Her contribution, she knew immediately, would be her mother’s stuffed cabbage (which you can see here ). To submit your own mother’s recipe (along with a story and a picture, if you’d like), you can send it to mymomsrecipebox @gmail.com. Nothing would make my Mom happier.
