My Mom’s fried Chicken!!!
We used to call it ‘goulash’ – ground beef, macaroni, tomatoes, onions, etc.
Loaded Twice Baked Potato Casserole!
Loaded twice baked potato casserole. It is so yummy. And so much quicker than making it “the old-fashioned way” which was how my Mom did it.
I’ve always loved the pot roast.
The recipe that makes me feel at home has to be, pork roast with new potatoes and green beans. I used to spend my summers,growing up, with my grandma. She would always ask me what I wanted her to make me for dinner and pork roast was usually my first request of the summer.
Grits!
The recipe I loved most growing up was my Aunt Ginny`s banana pudding, just completed and still warm. The vanilla wafers were still crunchy. And she made the best fried chicken, too. I miss her, and her cooking.
The dish that reminds me of home is red beans and fried potatoes and onions. I grew up in the south and this was just the best eating around.
My mother in laws pound cake
The beef stew is the one that I think about on home my momma would fix a big pot of it and cornbread . And we all would run to the table ,she made a big pot and there was always a lot and we would all get to have 2 bowls of it .and now when I would make it my seven runs to the table.
Pot roast and homemade ice cream!
fried green tomatos, pinto beans and banana pudding. these recipes are to die for.
The crock pot pork roast and vegetables makes my mouth water. yummm. We always used our crock pots during hot weather, well, actually year round.
The pork roast and veggies remind me of coming in from church on Sunday and my mom having dinner on the table for us.
The pork roast and veggies….yum. My mom can cook a roast of any kind and it melts in your mouth. This is awesome because it cookedi in the crockpot and my mom cooked hers all day for hours on Sunday. Sunday’s growing up.
