Mama's Cooking

There is nothing like a good ol' home cooked meal. I love food, I love trying different types of food, but there's nothing that can compare to a Sunday night dinner prepared by my mother. My mom was born and raised in the south, Savannah, GA to be exact. If you've never been there before, just image lots of open land, cows, chickens, goats, and street lights at are miles apart from each other. My mom was a country girl, which meant most dinners consisted of a fried or baked meat, normally chicken or pork chops, a vegetable, which was normally collard greens, pinot beans, or green beans, and additional sides such as corn bread, baked mac and cheese, or mashed potatoes. Just thinking about it all makes me hungry right now. Don't get me wrong, I love eating Italian food, Thai food, Caribbean food, Mexican food, diner food, but there is nothing like a good ol' home cooked meal by my mama.
