Baking with my mom when I was younger is one of my greatest memories.  (We actally continue the tradition by making a million cookies the day before Christmas each year ).  My mom is incredibly strong, smart, kind, and generous.  She has been the rock for our family for a very long time, and I am indebted to her for that.  So in her honor, a sweet treat on this mother’s day,  for all the sweetness she has provided to so many over the years.
