The May issue of North Texas Farm & Ranch Magazine is officially out and about! I am particularly excited about this one because we're celebrating MOMS! In my opinion, there's no better reason to jump for joy...while cooking...or anytime for that matter!
When I asked my fabulous Mother which recipe I should feature, she immediately suggested Super Hunk's rib rub. Awwww, that woman...I couldn't love her more!
It was a hard decision and, while his grilled goodness deserves the spotlight EVERY month, we decided to showcase it this summer...stay tuned...and go with Mother's Day Brunch instead.
Here are a few simple recipes that will hopefully make your Mommy heart smile on your very special day! (Grab a copy of the May NTFR issue for the hard copy recipe.)
From all of us, Happy Mother's Day! You have, by far, the most important job on the planet...and absolutely deserve a very tall "Mom-osa".
