I was in a meeting at work, a pretty important one, when I got a “call me” text. I excused myself to the hallway to hear on the other end “I’m at the ER with your mom”.  Then, I left that very important meeting for something far more important. My mom.  For the next week […]

My grandmother calls me every Sunday to ask what I’ve cooked for dinner. My grandmother is a very traditional southern woman. If your Sunday dinner doesn’t include rice or cornbread…is it even dinner? Well there is one Sunday she will be very disappointed in my menu.  Super Bowl Sunday. We have snacks for dinner on […]
