What's the one thing you miss that Mom, Grandma, or someone in your family used to cook?!
I had the recipe when I was much younger, and lost it some where in my million moves, but found similar versions to hers here online, but it is still not the same.
What's that one thing you miss eating at special events or Sunday dinners???
Answers: My grandmother died a long time ago, and I miss her SOUR CREAM ENCHILADAS.

My great aunt used to make a caramel cake that was so delicious. And she knew it was my favorite as a child, so when she'd come to visit us, or we went to visit her, she always made one for me. I can't eat all that sugar now, that she had in it, but, if I could, I certainly would. She's been dead now for at least 20 years. She was a hard working woman, and was far from being prideful. Thanks for the memories. God Bless you.
umm...........ice cream my granny made cant find the recipie but grand ma is still alive
My great grandmother made stewed tomatos with little crunchy toast bites in it that was out of this world. I have tried and tried to replicate her recipe and have come close, but it is never as good as I remember hers being.
When I was growing up, there were no supermarkets, no frozen chicken, no canned vegetables. We grew our own veggies around the house, had some chicken and duck running around. We fattened a couple of pigs at a time. Even had 4 goats for milk and special dishes. Oysters, clams and mussels grew wild and were picked up free from the shores of the very clean Zapote River that flowed into Manila Bay. We gathered snails from pestecide-free rice paddies on our way home from school. In the summer, after the rice was harvested, we chased wild quail from the stumps of harvest rice plants.
What have we done to Mother Earth? My grandchildren do not believe my stories, and know they will never experience the joys of my childhood.
Yes, since my mom is still alive
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups coarsely grated raw potatoes
1 cup grated cheese (I like cheddar)
3/4 cup any cooked meat (ham, hamburger, chicken, turkey...)
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 cup evaporated milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Squeeze excess liquid from potatoes then mix together with vegetable oil.
Press into 9" pie pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until just beginning to brown, in 425 degree oven.
Remove from oven and lay on cheese, cooked meat, and onion.
In a bowl beat together milk, eggs, salt and pepper. Pour over meat mixture.
Return to oven and bake for 30 minutes or until a knife inserted 1" from edge comes out clean.
Allow quiche to cool 5-10 minutes before cutting into wedges.
My grandmother always had a killer date nut bread for me when I visited. It was wonderful with cream cheese. She's long gone and although, I have tried several times to recreate it, I've never found one as dark and dense.
Home made Chicken and Dumplings that my Grandmother use to make. She also made from scratch Peach Cobbler.
My Dad used to be Chef Supreme in our household usually only on weekends, but my favorite was his Texas Chili Recipe
Here it is:
Texas Hot Chili
Dad used his Crock-pot slow cooker consistently to brew this incredibly tasty, HOT PEPPER and CHILI recipe. He was a master of the art of cooking hot and very flavorful dishes. He left me with this art to pass on, so here is ONE GOOD Healthy Recipe. This recipe is filled with high protein in meat and beans, lots of vitamin C in the peppers and with many healthy spices and herbs - is top notch for nutritional value.
INGREDIENTS:
12 - 16 oz of lean beef (cut into small chunks) You may use ground lean beef if you wish, but Dad used the real beef chopped into small pieces approximately 3/4 " in size.
1 1/2 large cans 28 oz. tomatoes (home canned the best.)
1 cup chopped Spanish onions
1 cup chopped green bell peppers
1 cup chopped red bell peppers
1/8 cup of diced HOT pepper (as in Jalape?o, Sureno or Hot Hungarian)
5 - 10 crushed elephant garlic
1 - 2 Bay leaves
2 - 3 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp cumin (mandatory)
2 - 3 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp hot cayenne pepper (the more the hotter!)
1 tsp. Damara brown sugar(Splenda replacement)
Sea Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup mesa corn flour mixed with tomato juice
1 tbsp dry Hot Mustard
1 small can Tomato Paste
14 oz can Red Kidney Beans
14 oz. can Lima Beans (reminder to drain liquid off Lima beans) and Lima Beans should be added 3/4 way through cooking chili recipe, so they do not lose their nutrient value and retain their shape.
NEXT TO DO:
I braise the chopped beef in a Programmable Crock Pot. on High, adding Spanish onions, until the beef looks as if browning nicely. Braise the onions as well.
Then, I add tomatoes, and all the other raw chopped veggies as listed above.
As well, I add all the spices, sugar, corn flour mixed with tomato paste as well as Hot Mustard - I mix all these ingredients on simmer until nicely coated.
Add Red Kidney Beans and turn the Programmable Crock Pot. onto high for 3 - 4 hours. Add the bay leaves now. The Lima beans should be added near the end of the cooking on high. Then just simmer until serving time. If there is too much juice, just keep the lid off of your slow cooker for the latter part of the cooking.
Should you wish to cook overnight in your Programmable Crock Pot., after all the ingredients have been simmered and nicely coated, I turn the cooker to slow for 4 - 8 hours - removing the lid slightly to cook off the juices.
Serve in Mikasa Stone-Ware dishes - my favorite is the French Countryside settings.
Serves 10 people. (Eight if they are ravenously hungry).
This Chili Recipe is a sensation to those who appreciate the real TEXAS RECIPE. Whenever I want a real surprise for my guests, this is my favorite - partly because it is my Dad's recipe as well.
Hot Baking Powder Biscuits are a must with this recipe......see under Biscuits, Breads & Muffins in Categories. Enjoy! Cookiepam0746
My grandmothers were so good, they didnt use a recipe, they already knew exactly how much to use....I miss their berry cobblers, peach cobblers, chicken and dumplings...and every Sunday my grandmother would make a dessert so we knew once we got out of church were we could get our sweets. Both of them are still alive but not able to cook in the kitchen like they use to. I've tried making these recipes but they dont taste anything like theirs.
Uh huh, No one could make bicuits like my great grandma, they were delicious! My G-grandma died about 15 years ago and I have not tasted any like them since. I wish I had gotten the recipe before she passed on. RIP Granny Young.
Cookiesssssssssss :)
miss all of granma's meals... her fried chicken, macroni salad, and german chocolate cake, apple pies...were the best. i got her recipes about 10 years ago, my mother finally gave them up to me. i miss her at all special events and holidays.
