This morning I woke up to a 6 AM phone call from my mom. I wasn’t upset because one: I’m and early person and two: it was the cutest phone call I have ever had. She couldn’t wait tell me about a recipe she had come up with last night. She went all Rachel Ray on me at 6 AM trying to tell me how to do it, what it was and how it tasted in a very excited voice. I think I picked up where she said “then you add it all together” so I told her to just type up the recipe and email it to me. Of course she had already done that! After a long conversation about how Grumples was doing (she is babysitting him) and my vacation we finally said “I love you” and hung up the phone.
When I opened up the email I was so shocked to see how delicious her recipe looked. I was more excited about her photos. After watching me take numerous shots of food over the past couple years she is a pro. I did a few finishing touches to them and they look pretty good!(Actually better than mine) Every Thanksgiving for the past 3 years at my house has been healthy and Pescatarian. My mom likes to experiment with recipes before she serves them on Thanksgiving. This recipe is one that will be on our dinner table this year for sure. If not thanksgiving, this would make a perfect fall breakfast.
