My Grandma Eva has been gone for over 40 years now, but I will always remember what a treat i thought I was getting when she made BLT’s for breakfast! This was usually on the mornings after she wheeled the black and white TV into the spare bedroom so we could watch Bonanza. She also made the best Sloppy Joes- a recipe I make now for my Grandson who loves them as much as I did.

Tacos and fried chicken were a big treat in our family growin up. We had 10 kids and as the oldest girl I had a lot of kitchen time. Mom would cut up and fry 4 chickens and I’d peel lots of potatoes and make the salad, “since I was such a good salad maker”. Tacos were a huge, exciting event. She would make tacos if I would fry the tortilla shells…and we always made a HUNDRED tacos. Some of the older kids could eat TEN! It was awesome! There was usually a roast beef dinner waiting for us after church on Sundays and she made a dessert every day! Mom really knew how to feed an army. We generally had several extra mouths to feed at supper. I think my brother’s friends enjoyed the organized chaos

So many food memories and associations from some great meals. I think the one that sticks with me even now though is that whenever we’d go away, whether to visit grandparents or on vacation, when we got home we always had tomato soup and sandwiches – either tuna or grilled cheese. You know, I still do that to this day. Such a simple meal, but it still means coming home to me!

Sunday dinner at my grandmas! We always had the same lineup and to this day it’s comfort food for me. Roast, mashed potatoes, corn, fresh rolls and a chocolate cake frosted with Dream Whip and shredded coconut. It’s a carbohydrate nightmare!!!

Thanksgiving morning! Upon waking, the turkey was already in the oven for a few hours (that is when turkeys had to cook longer than they do now-but that is another subject!) and my Mom was beginning the dressing, oh the glorious smell of onions and sausage. Will always be my favorite meal!

Tuna Kraft – Kraft macaroni and cheese with tuna. My Mom always made it when we were going to have a babysitter. I still love it.

My favorite food memory was actually helping my Dad plant, then pick fresh veggies from our garden. It was great to eat what we had grown……..just made them very special!

Growing up in England post WWII my mother could make the most delicious meals out of next to nothing. I can remember coming home from school and she would have a stuffed, rolled breast of lamb in the oven. I can still taste it today!
