Spice
I’m lucky to have a mother and mother-in-law who know how to cook. My mom can whip up original creations at the drop of a hat and my mother-in-law’s cooking makes me want to open a restaurant and eat Indian food all day long. I love variety in food with fresh ingredients. Some food preparations, especially those of south Asia, take a lot of time to prepare authentically. And with three little ones running around, I very rarely have a few hours (yes hours) to dedicate to one meal. So, I’ve created some short-cuts and found that although it isn’t exactly my mother-in-law’s food, it comes pretty darn close and keeps me sane.
My travels are few and far between these days. But, I can always spice up life with a palate pleaser. I’ve created short stories, from friends and family, with original recipes, and time-savers alike. I know a working mom is a tired mom and just because we are tired and stressed and trying to hang on…it doesn’t mean every once in a while we can’t also eat something really tasty.
Whether it’s a little sugar or spice that I need, I wish to share the recipes that keep me going. A good meal can transport you back in time to a favorite trip or wonderful memory. It also just might give you reason to reconnect with a good friend. If you like what you see, sign up for my newsletter! I’ll be adding more regularly.
Sounds great! Can’t wait to read more on the spice of life!
Elizabeth –congratulations on this accomplishment. I read with interest every word. I almost feel like I could taste your mother in law’s rice! What a treasure for your children! Thank you for allowing me to know you better since distance has prevented that. Wishing you much success with this endeavor.
Thank you so much! Hope you continue to enjoy these posts!
Hopefully you can teach me how to do some of these meals since i have no skills in the kitchen. Can’t wait for more postings.
Sounds great! Everything I’m posting you can do!
