You are my greatest joy, my proudest accomplishment, and the sunshine that brightens my entire world. I never truly understood the meaning of unconditional love until I was blessed with not just one, but two incredible miracles. Being your mom is everything to me—it’s been the greatest adventure, full of lessons and treasured memories.

Some of my favorite moments with you have been spent cooking together or gathered around the table, sharing love, laughter, and delicious meals. I hope these recipes become a resource for you to create your own special memories and to pass down through generations, carrying our family traditions forward.

I know you’ve always wanted handwritten cards of all my recipes, but let’s face it—writing them all out by hand would take me forever! Typing them was easier, and I wanted to give you something lasting, something that would stand the test of time.
