A Mother's Celebration

On the eve that we salute our Moms, and as I helped put my 3 wonderful redheads to bed, I paused to think of what life was like before I was able to kiss them goodnight....  Can't remember!  I can't imagine life without them and the reason that they exist, My life, My wife, Sheri!  I know it's on the calendar to celebrate on a certain Sunday in May, but I try and celebrate her every chance I get.  She is my best friend you know!  Also, I want to say that I would not be here if it was not for my mother, who I love very much!!!

I got the chance to cook Sheri a little mother's day kickoff dinner on Friday night.  Here's the recipe.  (notice, no real measurements.  use your judgement, It's dinner for 2)

Cheers!
