I was raised to love food. My dad was an epicurean of sorts, his god was his belly. He loved a beautifully seared filet mignon, really any cut of beef cooked correctly, even trying his hand at raising cattle in his retirement years to stock his own cuts of beef in our freezers. “
My coming home meal is actually a dessert. My granny's chocolate meringue pie is a beacon home. She taught me how to make this amazing pie when I was about 8. To this day it is the dessert for every holiday meal. She has passed the making of the pie onto my mom, aunt, or me, but it will live on for years.
My boys would say that their home coming meal is my lasagna, it takes me at least 2 days to make, because I make my sauce from scratch, but it is by far one of the boys most requested meals.
My prayer is that every meal I make is a beacon home to my husband and my sons.
My dad's lasagna. He puts *5 lbs. of cheese* in it, with perfect layers of noodles, sauce and meat. It takes him 2 hours to prepare. It's served with salad and garlic bread, and no matter how old I get, it's the meal that's ready when I walk in his door. A delicious labor of love.
