Childhood meals

We weren't fed very well, and we often went hungry...but on the occasion it was available, I always loved Ham Ribs and Cabbage...oooh they were delicious.

Another was Kraft mac & Cheese...it really DID taste nice in those days :D...or maybe we were just so hungry everything tasted nice ( expect for stew..I hated that)
 
I had many favorites that my Mom made. I was a picky eater but loved spaghetti and meatballs. She made excellent barley soup, and sometimes she would brown pork chops and finish them off in stewed tomatoes which she added some onions and peppers. Then we would use Italian bread to sop up the juices while eating the chops.
 
None that I can remember. Dinner was always meat, potatoes and one or two vegetables. It was more like, let's get this over with, so my dad can get off to work, and we can get on to something more interesting. lol

Once a year, around Christmas we would have a home made pizza, all from scratch, from a recipe my aunt gave us. The smell of the sauce cooking all afternoon got you more than ready for it. And one dessert---a cheesecake from scratch, with sour cream topping. Both were too good. :rolleyes:
 
My dad cooking a chuck roast on the outdoor grille with onions and corn on the cob covered with butter, salt and pepper, wrapped in foil and throw directly on the coals. Most folks have never put a chuck roast on the grille but if you have not then you owe it to yourself to try it. I was a salad nut as a kid so everyone made sure when dinner was over there was still some salad left over for me to clean the bowl. Mom's cooking left a lot to be desired but my dad always said "just right honey" every time she said bad things about her dinner. My brother and I dared not to say anything just eat it and act like it was OK.
 
My Dad made a mean potato,onion and egg omelet that he would flip by putting a dish over the frying pan and hope it didn’t stick. It was the best! Whenever I would hear him in the kitchen at night cooking, I would get out of bed and go into the kitchen while he cooked and we would share a great omelet together. Brings tears.
