Mother’s Day Recipes

Recipes Handed down from Wonderful Mothers

In the spirit of our Mother’s Day Tribute all of our recipes this month have a story of love and tradition. Each one reminds us of a person who made this special food for us.

As we prepare these dishes for the people in our life we are passing on the love of a special person. Food is a special part of our human emotions. When we share a meal (or a recipe) with each other we open a pathway for friendship. This is what we hope to do with you.

We hope to make new friends by sharing our favorite recipes with a short story about the person that passed it down to us. If you have not written your Mother’s Day Tribute, yet, get started and email it to us. This is a perfect way to give from your heart this Mother’s Day. contact@mom-stuff.com

Porcupine Meatballs

Ingredients:

1 can of tomato bisque soup

1/2 cup uncooked rice

1 lb hamburger

1 onion finely chopped

1 ½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions:

Mix one can of soup with one can of water In a separate bowl mix rice, hamburger, onion, salt, pepper and 4 tablespoons soup; mix well. Form into balls. Place into a casserole dish; cover with remaining soup. Back at 350 degrees for about 1 hour and 15 minutes covered. Uncover and back for 15 minutes. Serves five. This is one of my favorite meals as a child. It takes a long time to cook so it is not very popular now, but it is worth the time for my Mother. Thank you, Mom. I have tried to modify the recipe for minute rice but you lose the favor and the texture. You can cook this in a pressure cooker for 25 minutes.

Banana Snack

Ingredients:

Bananas

Sunflower Seeds

Instructions:

Take bananas and eat as a whole banana and dip into a bowl of sunflower seeds. Or cut the bananas up in slices and put in a bowl with sunflower seeds.

I know this sounds really weird but growing up my mom would always make this snake for us. Not only is it healthy for you but we really enjoy it. I thought of sharing this with you came to me when I had my nephew over the other night. I pulled the bananas and sunflower seeds out he asked me what I was doing. I had not realized that this might look odd. However it was really fun to get to share this with him and pass down a treat that reminded me of my mom and his grandma.
