I spend weeks looking for the perfect Mother's Day gift and sometimes I find it when I am not looking. I was going through my William Sonoma catalog this week and there it was on page 59. The personalized recipe and entertaining journal. Here is the link to their website so you can see how lovely this set is. http://www.williams-sonoma.com/search/results.html?words=journal

Now of course I think Plate Full of Memories is a great gift to be given for all kinds of holidays and right now with the especially low price of $10.00 I think everyone should buy one. I also know after you have purchased one you may still want more for your family recipes in a different format. What I loved about this journal is the notebook aspect that many of you in my classes want. They have plastic covers--something I always talk about since I am not a neat cook and REFILLS.  It would truly be perfect if they gave you a download-able recipe page that you could print on their paper. How perfect would that be???? Maybe I should email them with that idea.

If you have the perfect Mother's Day gift please share it with our readers. Mom's are the ones that introduced us to the family recipes so we owe them a great gifts...for Father's Day I will be looking for grills or grilling gadgets. My day was the grill master at our home. My Eric grills and cooks so it doesn't get much better than that.
