Stirring up memories Readers pass along favorite recipes their moms made for them
Some moms are revered for their love of from-scratch cooking; others are equally revered for getting dinner on the table, day in and day out, even when they would rather be doing something else.
In honor of Mother's Day, we asked readers to send us favorite recipes from their mother.
Cheesecake is a tradition that Kathy Cannon Anderson shares with her daughter, Katie Cannon of Salt Lake City.
"My dad died about nine years ago, and simply loved this cheesecake, as does my mom," writes Cannon about Kathy's Divine, Sinful, Naughty Chocolate Cheesecake. "She baked it for his birthday, and continues to bake this on special occasions. Perhaps it is loved by her not only for the sweetness and heaven-like texture it holds but also because it is a nostalgic piece of culinary art. It is, unfortunately for us chocolate lovers, wonderfully divine, rich and decadent."
LeAnn Evans of Holladay remembers a fruity "sweet soup" that her mother, Marie Kennard Tayler, always made.
Tayler passed away five years ago, and none of her children had tried making the soup since, said Evans.
The original recipe calls for quart jars of fruit, home-canned from the family's mini-orchard. Evans reworked the recipe to use commercially canned fruit, more commonly found in pantries today.
The Fox sisters of Hooper Jessica, Rebekah, Rochelle, Heather and Mariah sent in a recipe for Mother's Day Strawberry French Toast, courtesy of their mom, Kim Fox, also of Hooper. A strawberry-cream cheese filling is sandwiched between slices of French bread, which are then soaked in a rich egg mixture and toasted to a golden brown.
Jana Westfall of Sandy remembers her mother, Norma Rosenberg, as a wonderful cook and hostess. Rosenberg lived in Salt Lake City for many years and moved back to her hometown of Ephraim before her death in 1992. One of her favorite recipes for entertaining was Liquid Shrimp Cocktail.
