The Mother of Meals
tons of recipes and ideas for Mother's Day
Mother’s Day is right around the corner here in the US, and subscriber
reminded me that you all might want some menu ideas. I was going to drop the recipes in the StP paid subscriber chat- which is amazing btw- but then I decided to share the wealth. You deserve it. Restaurants are so hit or miss these days, not to mention expensive. This year, stay at home. Cooking a good meal for a person you love really shows that you give a shit. Mailing them a gift card to the Cheesecake Factory? I guess that’s better than nothing. You can also gift them a subscription to Stir the Pot, it might be more useful 🥰 If your mom, wife, mother in-law, sister, friend- or whomever that might be- deserves that extra effort, let’s do our part and deliver a meal that shows them exactly how grateful we are for all their work over the years. We know it hasn’t been easy.This weekend I’m dropping a recipe for al pastor, my mother’s favorite, but I’ve got plenty of others to help you menu plan now. Have a question or need some more help? Just drop a comment below or check out our chat section and I’ll get right back to you.

I think you just saved my marriage. Wife's birthday is right before Mother's day.... Always challenging. This year she gets a 5 course brunch, thanks to you.
Michelle, you really are the bomb. It did not occur to me (until I got the email prompt) that Mother's Day is coming, and you saved me some serious grief. xx
