My dad cooked a lot when I was going up, I’m not saying that mom couldn’t she made yummy ones too. But the dish I remember was smoked Sausage, Potatoes, Green Beans, and onion, and two of my kids make this dish too. I love all Southern Cooked dishes.
Potato Salad, Collards, Fried Chicken….and the Breakfast Casserole has been a tradition in our family for many years! I sure would love this cookbook, and thanks for the chance to win it!
Pinto beans, turnip greens, creamed potatoes and fried chicken! Reminds me of my childhood and family gatherings. Precious memories since I no longer have either parent.
My Mom’s potato salad was the best! She made a cooked dressing to put over the potatoes. I’ve never been able to duplicate the wonderful taste of her potato salad!
My kids were raised on beans and corn bread.
Thanksgiving dinner, before my mom past away ten years ago, she finally gave me all her recipes for it. From the homemade dressing to the Jam cake my great grandma use to make, that I always asked for on my birthday.
Growing up I always loved that we went to my grandmothers house. I remember her chicken & dumplings! They were wonderful.
butterbeans and cornbread
I’m trying her Cajun chicken this weekend. I cook German Southern style with a little Mexican thrown in. What I like is how easy her recipes are to put in the crock pot and be ready when the family comes over. We need the easy preparation as we begin to age and still want to cook for others.
Collard Greens.
Fried Chicken
Meatloaf & Mashed Potatoes
Mississippi Mud Cake. My daughter’s favorite birthday cake. My son=in- is from GA and I would love to make him some deep south dishes.
Thanks
Chicken and dumplings remind me of home and my mom she always made it for me on my birthday because it was my favorite and still is 50 years later.
Traditional southern style potato salad reminds me of vacations to Missouri, Tennessee. South Carolina that we used to do as a family in our R.V. And eat all that southern food so good!
All of them remind me of home! I’m a Southerner from Chalmette, LA!
Fried chicken. My mom made great fried chicken.
Definitely potato salad reminds me of home. It was my favorite growing up.
breakfast casserole – it’s something my mother would make for special occasions
Fried Chicken
the Pork Roast & Veggies, Sunday Supper once a month!
I would love to have the Traditional Southern Style Potato Salad, as it was one of my favorite dishes that my mother made when I was growing up in Alabama. I’m sure it would have been considered Southern Style, also.
Fried okra and fried chicken bring back my fondest memories!
Turnip Greens! The fresh from the garden kind that has turnip roots cooked in it!
Pork Roast and Veggies.
