Shrimp Con Queso

Since we didn't do the Alzheimer's walk on Saturday I decided that after I slept in a little bit it would be a great day for Mom and I to make Shrimp Con Queso.

This is a dish that my Mom has made during the Fall/Winter seasons as long as I can remember. I remembered it always being a BIG deal when she made it for us. It was always a very special night.

I have been craving this dish for such a long time because I don't think she has made it for the couple of years. Neeley and I have talked about wanting it as soon as Mom got here.

We went to the store yesterday to gather our ingredients and invited all of the family over to celebrate the season with us.

The recipe is in our Powell Family Cookbook but Mom originally got it from our dear friend Linda Talley in Alvin.

The recipe is pretty simple actually, I was amazed I never took the time to look it up and try to make it myself. Things are always better when Mom makes them anyway.

I cannot believe that I totally forgot to take pictures of the finished product, but the best part of the day was cooking with my mom!
