It’s no secret that I love my home state, and I’m one of the few family members who’s drifted outside a 50 mile radius of our family homestead in Kansas. I’ve grown fairly used to living so far from my family, but that’s only thanks to multiple visits each year. Even so, I spend a significant part of every year searching for cures for homesickness. The only one I’ve ever found with any real power, is to head to the kitchen, and make some of my mom’s food.
2020 made my longing for home worse than ever before. After nearly 400 days of not setting foot in Kansas, making my apartment smell like my parents’ home is pretty much the most powerful tool in my arsenal to battle the weepies after nearly every Zoom or Facetime call. I could write about many of the things my mother cooks and tell you it’s the very best thing she makes. Her soups are the stuff of comfort food dreams. Just the smell of her dinner rolls can wake me from a sound sleep. In elementary school, her homemade salsa had an incredibly high lunchroom trade value—I could get two Oreos for just one chip dipped in
. This is all to say, my mother is a great cook—and I have never been more thankful for her recipes than in the past year.
