My Mom’s fresh green beans always remind me of home!
Homemade biscuits and salt pork my gramma made them all the time!
Everything on the front of the cookbook! Looks just like my Grannys food. Boy do I miss her.
Roast with mashed taters, gravy, green beans with chocolate cake for dessert!
meatloaf is always a winner in my house.
Would have to be the fried chicken.
My favorite is the one that leaves me with lots of time for the other million things I must do in my day other than cook…LOL…all kidding aside it is meatloaf and mashed potatoes.
I remember the pork roast & veggies that my mom made. I haven’t found the recipe she used in her recipe box, so I’ll add this to my collection.
What a fun cookbook!
Got to be chuck roast with veggies and gravy! Must have cornbread with that!
Fried chicken, mashed potatoes with milk gravy, fresh green beans and homemade biscuits and honey.
Pot Roast and Veggies
Fried Chicken with mash potatoes.
Don’t know if she makes this or not but wish she did its liver and onion mom make it all the time growing up in the 50 so would love to see it in a slow cooker book thank you
Fried chicken for sure!
Pot Roast, mashed potatoes/gravy and lots of carrots. Meal made in heaven. My mom would put fresh dill in her mashed potatoes. Top the meal all off with a huge glass of ice cold milk. ๐ Don’t forget that “Mom Hug” to let you know all is right with the world.
Corn breaded , hammocks with pinto beans cole slaw and fried potatoes! Yummy!!!
Hands down…. meatloaf and mashed potatoes with homemade biscuits and apple butter!
Grilled Backyard Barbecue Chicken is something I have always aspired to do correctly and usually failed miserably at. This new recipe will prove extremely useful in making my outdoor parties move beyond the steak, hot dogs and hamburgers that have become my norm.
My favorite meal that reminds me of home is the red beans ( pinto beans) with diced salt pork added and then we had Chinese taco’s and a chief salad. Oh so good. I really miss those family meals.
Pinto Beans
I love Slow Cooker Steak with Gravy
it’s my go to meal
Pot Roast is my favorite.
Mississippi Mud Cake or fried chicken!
chicken and noodles and dumplings with buttermilk biscuits and mashed potatoes, yum
