My mom cooked A Proper Sunday Dinner every week of my life growing up that I can remember. I have failed miserably in that regard, but I do try to keep the Saturday-morning breakfast ritual alive. :)Thank you so much for taking time to visit!Elizabeth Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323422138353699587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113701246699691315.post-76447712418988346362016-04-25T21:40:32.227-04:002016-04-25T21:40:32.227-04:00"I'm convinced there are two kinds of fam..."I'm convinced there are two kinds of families in the world: food families and non-food families." Yes!!! Love it. We can totally identify.<br />And after reading the Sunday dinner rules and the Saturday morning breakfast, I'm certain our mothers must be kindred spirits.

And I LOVE that you have memories from your childhood that you're now passing along to your own family. Really, that is the best. Because, as one of my favorite food writers, Ruth Reichl, says, "When you cook for people, they feel cared for." Truth, mama.

Let me know if you do try this out...I'd love to know what you think. (Be brutally honest.) In return, will you please share your waffle recipes with me? I need one that is light and crisp but that doesn't start with 1/2 cup of butter or contain yeast in an overnight rise. (I LOVE that flavor, but my girls. Um, no.) NOT that I am opposed to butter, but that's a bit much for regular rotation around here...;) Elizabeth Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14323422138353699587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113701246699691315.post-83001173435030490662016-04-18T12:54:37.550-04:002016-04-18T12:54:37.550-04:00I decided to start a Saturday morning breakfast tr...I decided to start a Saturday morning breakfast tradition, too, but we don't like pancakes, so I've just pretty much kept it to waffles (mostly) or muffins.
