Mother knows best...

What’s my favorite recipe? That’s a tough question. Considering my culinary skills are lacking, I still have a few I enjoy cooking. Ribs, fried chicken, pasta, all delicious choices, all I have cooked and enjoyed on many an occasion. However the one recipe, my favorite recipe, is a dish I have never prepared on my own. A meal so delectable I refuse to make on my own because of the possibility of ruining it.

My mother is my best friend, my hero, and my favorite cook. She is the preparer of my favorite meal, taco casserole. The meal consists of soft taco shells, tortilla chips, beans, ground beef, cream of mushroom soup, cheese, and topped with a little hot sauce. While living at home my mother would make this masterpiece every couple of weeks, though it felt like months between enjoy this delight. Now that I have moved away since attending Western, approximately two and half hours from my hometown of Bremerton, Washington, I am unable to enjoy it quite as often. When I get home every few months though, there is nothing like walking in to my childhood home with the scent of taco casserole in the air!

Basic name and basic ingredients but combined with proper cooking and enough love, it creates my favorite dish. As the old saying goes, mother knows best, food not being excluded.
