Braised lamb shanks

Date: May 05, 2022

Mother’s Day is May 8, and on “The Very Vera Show” this week, Vera Stewart takes her spin on the day honoring moms.

She said that she always heard the key to a man’s heart is through is stomach, and her three sons can truly attest to this. In this week’s episode that airs at 12:30 p.m. Thursday and 7 p.m. Saturday on WJBF-TV Channel 6, she will allow viewers inside her home to meet her three sons.

And she’ll give insight into their favorite recipes of hers.

Some of the tasty highlights from this week’s show are Vera’s braised lamb shanks; the simple but flavorful chicken and rice with gravy and Southern comfort food at its finest country friend steak with milk gravy mashed potatoes.

What’s “the look?” Watch the Very Vera Show’s Mother’s Day edition to find out why Daniel and Vera are looking at each other that way.

Pull up a chair and meet Cord, Daniel and John and have a great Mother’s Day.
