I’ve had the idea for a new series on Sundays rolling around my head for a couple of weeks now and I finally decided to try it out and see what you all think. I’m going to call it Sunday Inspiration and I’ll choose some kind of theme each week and feature recipes/items that fit within the chosen topic from around the web. Maybe a specific food I’ve been craving or wanting to try or a cuisine or technique and so on. If you have any requests, please let me know! I’ll have a Sunday Inspiration tab at the top of the page for easy access.

Since it’s Mother’s Day I thought I would dedicate this one to my mama and share recipes I know she would love. My mom’s strength, encouragement, patience, constant love, work ethic and support have turned me into the woman and mother I am today. She has stood by my side at my best moments and my darkest. Even though I’m grown, she will drop everything to help me. Her awesomeness is intimidating and I just hope I can be half the mom she is. Though she may curse me for sharing that picture. Sorry mom, just remember all the nice things I said.

And I made you these Boston Cream Pie Bars.

Speaking of sweets, homemade versions of ice cream sandwiches and Fig Newtons are always a good thing. We didn’t have store bought cookies in the house often but I remember my mom loving these.

Soft pretzels are a thing of beauty in my family. Stuff them with cheese, ham and jalapeno’s and there’s no resisting them.

Also, this Jalapeno Popper Chicken Chili…drooling.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup. Yes and yes.

Hungarian Cucumber Salad is perfect for summer.

Tamale Pie because Mexican all day, every day.

Brotchen Hard Rolls. Yep, you heard that right mom.

And I just have to leave you with this little gem. I’ve had this song stuck in my head for days now but it gave me a good laugh.
