🙏 Thank You, Grandma

Every time I make this, I feel like Grandma’s right there in the kitchen with me—laughing, humming, and sneaking me little tastes before it was “ready.”

She taught me that cooking isn’t just about feeding people. It’s about nourishing hearts, creating joy, and building memories. And this recipe? It’s all of that and more.

So from my family to yours: Enjoy every bite. Share it, tweak it, make it your own. Just don’t forget where it came from—and who you’re sharing it with.
