“The first is my paternal Grandma’s mole recipe. It’s the perfect Mexican comfort food, made even more special by the love my Grandma put into every batch. She taught all her grandkids to make it, and some have perfected the recipe more than others (I am not one of them). I hope other families can enjoy a meal together around this dish, the way my family would. In loving memory of Maria G. Flores, loving wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend.”
