Soul Food...

Growing up we were blessed to have an amazing southern momma who cooks better than any restaurant chef. I pinky swear that to this day we get to choose our favorite meal and she cooks it for us on our birthday. We never wanted birthday dinner at a restaurant...nope…why would we when we had the best chef in town? When I grow up I want to be my mom. One of the greatest joys of being married is cooking for my husband and the other night I made one of my mom's classics: Chicken Divan. The moment Trev went back for a second helping I smiled to myself and for a moment felt that sweet feeling that my mom must feel every time she cooks for us. It truly warmed my soul... maybe that's why they call it soul food…
