Drew and I have not been 'very good' the past few weeks about planning our meals. By the time we get home and settled it is after 7 and we are just starting to think about what to eat. Anyways, this week I started planning Sunday afternoon and I must say planning pays off.
Tuesday evening was a special time in the kitchen for me. If you know me, at all, you know I like to spend time in the kitchen. I love baking and cooking- especially for those I love. I came home from work around 5:45 and went directly to the kitchen. I put on some music and got into my zone. The more time I spent the more I realized that my menu reflected things I had learned from both of my grandmothers. As I cooked, I reflected on them and the blessing they were to so many.

My Grandma Jeannie was known for her meatloaf. Oh my- I loved going to her house and eating her meatloaf. It had such a great flavor. It was just one of the many things that she made that I love- let's be honest, I loved everything she made (well except for the collard greens). My GrandBecky loved to make green beans! She would let them simmer all day. I don't know what she did to make them taste the way she did, but they were delicious. They had a little sweetness- everything she cooked had a little sugar- that was her secret.

My GrandBecky was a classy lady. Always.

I am thankful for the chance to spend time in the kitchen and to reflect on the love my grandmothers shared with me through their love of cooking.
