Main dish to desert NOTHING say home like Southern cooking.
Love the crock pot roast and veggies. I always think of home when I smell it cooking. It was the first thing I learned to cook when I was in the fifth grade. I would put it on right before church on Sundays and loved the smell when we returned back home.(P.S. I had 6 brothers and sisters so it was a fast easy meal too !!)
really like the beef stew made home rolls the guys just cleaned it right up
I think the foods that remind me of home are cream potatoes and corn and potato chowder.
BBQ Spare Ribs, baked potato and garden salad
Fried chicken and okra. YUM!
I remember the pork roast with veggies
Loved the pork roast and veggies, as well as the stuffed pepper soup.
Pot Roast!!
Chicken and Dumplings, Also Pinto Beans with Fried Potatoes and onion. We ate these 2 dishes a LOT…
Southern fried chicken and yummy, yummy cornbread! Now that is comfort food!
Meatloaf , mashed potatoes, gravy
fried green tomatoes
In my last comment yesterday, I forgot to mention that my grandma used to make cracklin bread that was so good. She also used to make cream of wheat with butter in the mornings for me, because grits were not available yet in S. Calif in those days! When we lived in Baton Rouge a neighbor made turtle stew and invited us to dinner… I don’t eat just anything, but it was delicious! But my all time favorite Cajun/Creole dish has to be Jambalaya.
Roast, potatoes and carrots every Sunday!
Roast chicken with roasted carrots, rice & gravy & fresh green beans.
My Grams cast iron fried chicken and summer squash, potatoes and gravy. Awesome memories…
Wow…I must say most all of these recipes bring back the wonderful smells and memories of growing up on the farm. My mother was always cooking something when she wasn’t working. She had to feed 11 hungry kids who just didn’t know how to be patient. Lol
She taught me to cook as well as everything else but my love for cooking has caused me to be a collector of different kinds of cookbooks. I’d love to have a copy of this one to add to my collection. My most favorite meals was fried chicken, mashed taters, and sweet corn on the cob. Yummy! Makes my mouth water as this very moment. Lol
Sorry my comment was so long. ๐ ๐
the best crock pot beef atew with corn bread and sweet onion reminds me of home and mom’s cooking.i love it and love to cook & try out new thing’s.
My grandparents moved to Oklahoma from Georgia. I still have a number of the family recipes. Chicken with homemade Dumplings is at the top of my list!
love to know how to make homemade flaky biscuts
Fried cabbage and cornbread
I’m not from the south; but, have always loved southern food – gumbo, jambalaya and anything “southern” that is different from the way we make it in the north.
I’ve always loved grits. Totally interested in your Garlic Grits recipe!
Fried chicken, mashed potatoes or potato salad, green beans, fried corn and biscuits or cornbread
