My dads, ham hocks, red potatoes and green beans, all cooked together in a pot on the stove. Me and my 3 sisters have tried to make this since he passed away but it never taste the same.

I can only narrow it down to my favorite dinner: steak, baked potato with everything, salad with chunky blue cheese dressing, coke with lots of ice and brownies for dessert.

Also, we went crabbing once in Oregon and cooked them straight from the bucket. They were awesome!

Try Velveeta, and a little salt and pepper. My mom made mac and cheese that way. She also cooked with a handful of this, a pinch of that, and a dash or two of something else. Nothing written down, reading recipes was just too much trouble when she had them in her head.

Have already posted but this hit me this morning. Fresh made chocolate truffles from a little place in Brussels, Belguim. Best chocolate I ever ate bar none.

You're right - it probably was Velveeta! Now, if I could get the amounts of each ingredient right! And the baking temp and the time - - -

Do the same thing she did in the beginning----experiement. And always trust your sense of smell. That's how I make meat loaf--when the mixture smells right I know it's ready to bake. Smell can be as important as sight and or thought processing when it comes to cooking.
