After a brief hiatus, my popular “What’s for Dinner Mom” series is back.

What's For Dinner Mom? Week of January 10, 2021

When things around me are crazy, I find solace in food. Cooking and baking takes my mind off of everything going on around me and I find comfort in tastes that I know and adore.
