Though she is not an amazing cook with recipes passed down from generation to generation or appliances coming out of her ears, my mother has certainly influenced me most in the kitchen. I didn’t really start cooking and baking from scratch until relatively recently, but my mom taught me from a young age the sense of accomplishment that can come from making something from scratch – one of my favorite memories is making chocolate chip cookies from the Nestle Tollhouse bag with her from scratch. She taught me that a few key recipes that are healthful and tasty are all you really need!One of my most favorite memories is making biscuits with my mother and her mother for Thanksgiving when I was 5 or 6 years old – three generations of women all helping out with the same dish!Margaret H.

My mom taught me to cook, and she learned from her mother-in-law, not her mother. My mom is known for many of her recipes, and many of the recipes that people compliment me on are hers. She is constantly trying new recipes and always works to make every recipe more healthy. I love you mom! Dee H.

My Granny influenced me the most in the kitchen. Although she never had a lot of money and always used simple foods and recipes, she was known in the community for her DELICIOUS food but more so for her sweet and hospitable nature.Not only did she teach me how to cook, she taught me how to be generous with it.

My father is a trained cook, so most of my kitchen memories as a kid involve Daddy instead of Mom. But there was one specialty that Dad always slept through, and its the mealtime I remember most from being a kid.Every Sunday morning when I was a kid, my cousins would get dropped off at my place to play with my brother and I for the day. My mom would be waiting in the kitchen, with our big stand-alone griddle and a huge batch of pancake mix. She would split our mix into separate bowls and let us food color it ourselves, then make pancakes in whatever shape we wanted. And my mother was a pancake artist. She could make all the characters from Winnie The Pooh, rainbows (in the correct color order), the Transformers (for my brother) and anything else we could imagine. The pancakes were always delicious, and those mornings meant so much to me.However, since I’m not a Mommy yet, I wouldn’t keep this giveaway for myself. Instead, I would give it to my brother’s girlfriend. She currently stays at home with my delightful one-year-old niece, and is a constant inspiration. Her and my niece love the kitchen, and cooking together (all organic and all from scratch!)

My mom has definitely influenced me the most in the kitchen. Although she wouldn’t consider herself a great cook, she taught me the importance of food in the family. She always grew her own garden full of vegetables and fruits that we ate with all of our meals- either fresh or canned by her. She taught me how to make healthy, colorful meals, and the value of family meal time each day. camilla h.

My grandmother is my inspiration in the kitchen. She is an amazing cook and I have been honored to spend days in the kitchen with her showing me how to make some of her best recipes. I want to learn them all because when she passes on to heaven I want to be able to carry on her amazing recipes for my children to enjoy!jillk77 at aol dot com

My favorite kitchen memory is watching my family prepare a crawfish boil. There is nothing like hungry southern people with wine 😉

Renee C.yeloechikee at hotmail dot comMy favorite memory in the kitchen is with my sister, Donna. We were trying desperately to make my mom’s “recipe” for peanut butter potato candy that she used to make us when we were kids–my mom doesn’t actually use recipes, she just adds some of this and some of that, so my sister and I were having a really hard time! We kept ending up with this gooey substance that looked like mashed potatoes and tasted like pure sugar. It was disgusting and nothing like my mom’s candy, but we had so much fun laughing at ourselves and trying to convince my brother-in-law and my niece to try our concoction. After several failed attempts that even the dog wouldn’t eat, I think we drove to the store and bought ice cream!

Thanks for this great giveaway. My favorite memory in the kitchen is learning to cook with my grandma. She is a wonderful cook…one of those who doesn’t need a recipe. I spent many hours in her kitchen learning and trying out my new cooking/baking skills. I still remember her teaching me little things like how to measure flour or roll out dough. Good memories!Amy W.amypwebb@gmail.com

As a young girl, I remember standing in my grandmother’s kitchen, crocks of homemade pickles ripening, garden fresh vegetables prepared and waiting for their turn to be canned and bread rising on the counter to be baked for dinner. Her farm was an adventure for this city kid and her ways of making meals for her family amazed me. There always seemed to be abundance for the family and more to share with neighbors. My love of cooking was definitely shaped by my time “being a helper” with my grandma.glynis crawfordgr8fulg@gmail.com

I love being in the kitchen! I learned how to bake from my dad, but I love being in the kitchen with my girlfriends. We have so much fun. We love getting together to bake or have dinner parties. Everyone has great recipes to share, it is so fun! Thanks for a fun giveaway! Happy Mother’s Day!
