Chicken With Honey Mustard

My mom was a wonderful cook and baker. One of my favorite foods growing up was chicken. I love chicken. Yum! Often mom would serve mash potatoes and sliced tomatoes and cucumbers with the chicken. Nothing fancy, just good home cooking. I have so many wonderful memories cooking with mom. I'm happy I get to share my family recipes and recipes that I create with y'all.

What was your favorite food growing up? Leave me a comment below. Love to hear from y'all.
