Name something your mom or grandma made that was your favorite (or your dad or grandfather for that matter)

 

[Ruthanne]

I always loved my mom's Chicken Paprikash and my grandmother's cabbage and noodles.

My father made Fried Bread....Loved it..

 

[PamfromTx]

My mother's cooking.... period.

 

[Don M.]

lasagna. My Italian grandmother made the best I've ever tasted....and my Mom's was almost as good.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Pyrahi.

Fresh out of the oven and served with chilled fresh cream poured inside the centre.

Beyond delicious.

Raspberry, strawberry, huckleberry, cheese & potato, bean & onion, dry cottage cheese... oh my, so good.

Bubble and Squeak which I cannot make the way Mum did it

The best part of bubble and squeak is it uses leftover mashed potatoes, traditionally from a big Sunday meal. You also can use whatever vegetables you have on hand (or leftover), with cabbage, swede, carrots, peas, and Brussel sprouts being among the favourites.

Nah @peramangkelder it has to have sliver beet in it or it just doesn’t taste the same

 

[peramangkelder]

@Kadee46 I didn't know that and yes I can remember silver beet being in Mum's version

 

[peramangkelder]

@Ruthanne a swede is what us Aussies call a rutabaga

My gran always made me a Christmas pudding and a cake when I left home.
My aunt who died last year at 92 continued to make the same cake recipe right up until she was her late 80’s it was mainly dried fruit /eggs / sugar and a pack of pastry mix it was oh so nice,
Gran died suddenly in November 1968 and guess what was hanging out the back in the the old tin laundry / bathroom ...yep the puddings

 

[peramangkelder]

@Kadee46 I can remember puddings tied up in calico cloth hanging on hooks in our shed when I was a kid

Most people I knew had sliver beet growing out the back it was a cheap nutritious green to feed the family in hard times ..I always have it in my garden it’s high in iron

I don't think I've ever had fried bread but it sure sounds good.

Thanks rutabagas are pretty good I like them.

My mother couldn't cook really.. but she used to make Boiled Ham ribs and cabbage and I loved that...

 

[Lizzie00]

My mom made the very very best fried chicken.
And cinnamon rolls.

 

[jujube]

My mom's banana pudding, lovingly made from scratch. I'd want to dive into it head-first and just wallow....

 

[Pinky]

Mom was a terrific cook. I miss everything she made, especially her Cumberland chow-mein and norimaki.

 

[terry123]

We only had dessert on weekends. It was usually homemade from scratch rice pudding or banana pudding. Best I ever had. She also made a rich yellow cake that had 4 thin layers and hot fudge frosting between each layer. I do mean fudge frosting and not just chocolate.

Sea Foam Candy!

I'm in awe of those who skillfully cook Japanese and Korean food. So many ingredients, so much slicing and dicing, such great artistry.

My mom grew up in the Midwest in a family that was lower middle class. She had a large number of meals that came from that mindset. The one that comes to mind immediately for me and with the most fondness was her hamburger casserole. It consisted of cooled ground hamburger, rice and then some combination of Campbell's cream of mushroom and cream of celery soup. I used to love it when she made it.

I tried reproducing it a few times but it never tasted the same. I also think that my taste has changed so that it might have tasted the same as it did when my mom cooked it, but my memory of the flavor was better than the actual flavor itself.

My mother was a very good cook. Although turkey was never my favorite meat, my mother's stuffing was the best I've ever tasted, bar none. Italian sausage, pine nuts, amazing array of spices. Ahhh.... memories.
