I remember the first Hummingbird Cake I ever made. I also will never forget the first one I ever tasted. I lived next door to my mother in law. We had such fun gardening and cooking new recipes. When our Southern Living Magazine would come we would sit and talk about all of the recipes and then we would cook. We had such fun! She called me over to the house just a short path away. She showed me the prettiest cake I had ever seen and it was so delicious! We ate, talked and watched her soap opera.."The Days of Our Lives" . She did love that show, I personally have always loved "The Young and The Restless"...but to eat that cake was pure delight. This was the very first time that recipe had ever been printed in a magazine. Ms. Genolia is now gone but I have those memories, and I wouldn't take anything for them.
