Growing up I used to love baking with my mom. I can remember countless days following her around the kitchen watching her prepare dinner, asking if there was anything I could do to help. Baking was something we enjoyed doing together. She always let me ice the cake or put sprinkles on cookies. Even now, on holidays or when we have dinner at my parents' house, you'll find my mom and I chatting in the kitchen as we prepare the meal.
Many of us have a favorite childhood food that immediately evokes a fond memory and a feeling of comfort. Maybe it was your go-to after-school snack or your grandmother's traditional holiday cookie recipe. Even celebrities have their favorites. In fact, Nick Katsoris, author of the children's book series featuring Loukoumi, the fluffy lamb, has gathered the favorite childhood recipes of more than 50 celebrities.
The book begins with a children's book, which I loved, and is then divided into different sections of recipes such as weekend breakfasts, lunchtime favorites, after-school snacks, family meals and desserts. You'll find recipes from Oprah Winfrey, Matt Lauer, Jennifer Aniston, Eli Manning, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, George Stephanopoulos and more.
I thought it would be fun to highlight a recipe from the cookbook to give you a taste of what to expect. Faith Hill, Grammy award-winning entertainer and a mother of two children, grew up with the following recipe, which is a perfect dessert to make with your kids and serve on Mother's Day. "I love this Coca Cola Cake. It is so rich and decadent -- you need to drink a lot milk with it," she said.
