Here’s a chance to pull out your recipe box and have some fun.

Our neighbors over at Here & Now are doing a special program for Mother’s Day (May 13 this year) that’s based on the recipes your mom or grandmom has passed down to you.

What’s your favorite? What’s the family tradition behind this recipe? How did your mom (or grandmom) make it special?

Here & Now wants to know. And they’d love your photos, too, especially if you’ve got a hand-written recipe card or a dog-eared cookbook with personal annotations made right there in the margins. Click here to read the details about their upcoming Mother’s Day show and how you can play a part.

What’s my favorite recipe from my own mom? There are literally too many recipes to count — Baked Maccaroni, American Chopped Suey, Eggplant Parmigian, Risotto Milanese, Plum Cake and Blueberry Pie quickly come to mind. But I have to say I treasure our family’s strufoli recipe most. Lose this, and I lose a piece of my identity. Know what I mean?
