As with every Food Memories Monday, I pick posts based only on the food memory or story they share. While I love beautiful food photography and amazing recipes, I don't pick a post based on those things (they very well may have those things, but that's not criteria … [Read more...]

Food Memories Monday - Week of October 2, 2012

Here are my picks for Food Memories Monday for the week of 10/01/12.

If you have a post on your own blog that shares a food memory, you can link it up in the linky at the bottom of this post. All I ask is that you either add my Home Cooking Memories button graphic to your post or a simple text … [Read more...]

Food Memories Monday Week of Sept 24, 2012

Welcome to Food Memories Monday! Each Monday I share a few blog blog posts I have enjoyed because of the food story they tell.

One of the fun parts of Food Memories Monday is that I host a link up at the end of this post where you can share your own blog posts that share a special food memory. If you link up all I ask is that you either … [Read more...]

I am beyond excited to kick-off FOOD MEMORIES MONDAY! I love food memories. And one of the greatest things to me about food blogs, is stumbling onto a great story or a touching memory that has a connection to food. Almost all of us have them. It might be a story about something special our grandmother cooked. Or it could be a restaurant your Dad always took you to. And if you don't think you have any food memories, know that you are creating them right now. If you cook, or eat, then … [Read more...]

May 9, 2012 by brandie 7 Comments

So many of us have powerful memories of our mom's cooking. Remembering the food our mom cooked or baked transports us back to our childhood and can bring back that love we have felt from our mom. For me, my mom cooking her spaghetti sauce always holds a special memory. My mom's spaghetti sauce is one of the most amazing things she made and I can close my eyes and remember her standing in the kitchen, stirring a big pot of it. It almost always had lots mushrooms (one of my favorites), … [Read more...]
