Nothing can compare to home cooking. In the Moreno house home cooking involves "tortillas hechas a mano". Mom's tortillas are the best!
My mom, Josefa Moreno, is a very special woman. Now that I am a mother too, I am barely starting to understand the breadth of her inner strength and wisdom. Every time I visit her, I learn something new about what truly matters most. It has been priceless watching my mother in the role of Abuelita as she interacts with my two girls.
This weekend we were able to spend time with Abuelita Moreno. She was able to teach Maya, the art of making the traditional tortillas. The beauty of it is that I know that every grandchild has taken part in the same bonding moment, I myself can remember standing on a chair making tortilla's next to her, or eating some of those delicious mushed up tortillas she would call, 'ranas'. My mom is a true blessing in my life, and I am glad she's around to pass on this beautiful tradition to my little girls.
