gokuangel ~ WoW .. forgot all about deviled eggs until you mentioned them and yes, we had those too!  Those childhood memories are really great and center around the love and good food that was made to show love for our family.

The cool thing is .. we can carry on that tradition, just in a healthier manner!  No reason to give up flavor or to not cook .. just differently.

You are both too kind .. it is really your sunshine that motivates me.  

My favorite memory was of my grandmother, great aunt, aunts, mom, cousins and siblings all cooking in the kitchen together with awesome smells .. fresh homemade rolls and pies galore.  The hot rolls and fresh butter were my favorite and I'd still eat "one" if it were available today .. all about moderation and choices .. ;)

It really was the "togetherness" that was the focal point.  Could drink tea and have that togetherness and be just as happy today.

Thanks for sharing .. ((Hugs)) ..
