The old Gary Cooper movie, Sgt. York, is a family favorite with our entire team. In one scene Ma asks the blessing and says, "Lord bless these vittles we done got...". Hence, the name of our recipe collection.

Mommy loves tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches on a cold day.  I also enjoy being able to whip this up with the ingredients I usually have on hand.  

Love Always,
Mommy
