Most of the United Stated celebrated Mother's Day yesterday. We honored my mother, my mother-in-law and her mother. It was a full house! We had a great day catching up and spending quality time together.
My mom requested a salmon dish for lunch. I wanted to do something new a creative instead of the same old grilled salmon. That's when I remembered a recipe that I wrote for the 2015 Sunshine State Eggfest. Everyone was very happy with lunch.
Mom was happy, everyone enjoyed lunch and a good day was had be all. Happy belated Mother's Day to all of the moms out there.
