Note: Jay had many favorite recipes. From an early age, he appreciated good food. Some of his favorites were: pork chops, broccoli, and squash. He couldn't understand at age 5 and 6 why his friends didn't like vegetables. I think he still wants his mom to prepare his favorite pie. This Thanksgiving was the first time I did since he took his wings.
