We have had a memorable day!
Please forgive me for bragging. :0) Last night as my precious daughter and I were catching up (she opted to miss her spring break trip to Fl) I casually suggested she might want to try a recipe from my new cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks and have dinner waiting for me when I arrive home from school. LOL She said she thought she might, but her Dad wanted her to play golf with him.
As I'm leaving school and checking my text messages I read that my husband observed someone on the golf course today, make a "hole in one". To put this in perspective, all the conditions must be perfect, even then this is a rare occurrence.
I called her to see how the "cooking experience" was going and could tell from the happiness in her voice she had had a great day. Come to find out, she was the one that had hit that golf ball on the eighth hole, for a "hole in one"!
This was her first!
She hasn't played golf in a long while, maybe once last summer, and she goes out does this?
Wow!
After congratulatory words, I began asking her if she had found the cookbook I had left out for her to choose a recipe. She said yes, but was afraid they were too complicated for her to prepare.I began laughing. - all the recipes in this cookbook are straight forward and with the step by step photos very easy to follow.
I think it was the "step by step" process that had her concerned.
With absolutely no offense to "The Pioneer Woman" my child remembered another blogger we follow also posts recipes. She said she knew if any one would have a super easy recipe it would be Kelly. :0) She went to Kelly's Korner and found a recipe she felt comfortable preparing. She went to the grocery store and bought the necessary ingredients. When I walked in the door, I could smell the wonderful scents. Dinner was prepared!
She chose a Mexican chicken recipe from Kelly, made Spanish rice and decided to surprise me with
a fruit pizza for dessert! It was a "Mother's Day" moment!
Everything was delicious, it was obvious she had enjoyed searching for and preparing a meal for others.
I felt the love in every bite!
Yes, I am a proud "mama" and I don't mind saying so! :0)XOXO
