Happy Mother's Day and Congratulations Pauline and Peggy!

As you can see from this video still, my mother Pauline has been named 2009 Mother of the Year!

I'm so proud of her and even though she should have been honored long ago, better late than never.

Here is a link to watch the full video report about this prestigious award. Congratulations Mom! I love you and will see you soon.

In related news, Food Wishes Video Recipes is proud to announce the results of our first Annual Mother-in-Law of the Year Award. This year's inaugural winner is... Peggy Manfredi! Peggy is, and has been, a huge supporter of this site.

While her many contributions may go unnoticed to you, they are invaluable to me. Wow, imagine that, my mother and mother-in-law both being honored in the same year. Amazing.

I want to wish all you moms out there a very happy Mother's Day, and hopefully you had the forethought to make your kids and husbands watch a few of my video recipes, so they could make you a beautiful meal Sunday. Have a great day, and we'll see you back here Monday for more foodie fun. Hopefully your kitchens survive the weekend. Enjoy!
