For me it is my Grandmas rice - she passed away 15 years ago- after she passed we found at least 5 different recipes written down ... it took my brother at least 10 years to hit the right combination from them and get it right . Now he makes it for all the family gatherings YUMMY

My mom was a self-taught cook and she became so good at it. Her homemade bread, homemade banana cream and coconut cream pies, her roasts, beef and pork and gravy, potato salad, cole slaw, miss her so much, not just her cooking, she excelled at all she did! We were so blessed to have her for so many years. She was an excellent seamstress too, self-taught, drafted her own patterns.

Spaghetti sauce and meatballs simmering on a Sunday morning. That is what I woke up to for 22 years. How lucky was I???

Hot fresh homemade yeast bread...both grandma and mom made it as a treat. Sometimes for supper we'd have fried bread, a ball of dough smashed down to a puffy pancake, fried in a skillet and eaten with syrup and butter. Yum.

My mom's pinto bean soup with crunchy bacon, onions and corn bread. All mixed up together on my plate.
Yummy!

My Mom made the very best homemade bread-five loaves a week. My Dad would not eat bread from the store., She was an excellent cook. The threshing crews loved her food!!! I still use her bread and sweet roll recipes!!!!!

I do!!! I mash my beans with a potato masher before adding them to chili. My mother did it this way too. With the hull of the bean broken open, the chili gets thicker and the beans aren't so firm.

My dad would make banana pudding and even after I was grown and out on my own he would make it and tell me it was for my boys and I only. He never did like my first husband and he did not make it a secret he didn't like him. My first husband would try and get some from the boys and they would tell him no, because grandpa said so.. It was so good too.
