Now everyone stops at KFC or Boston Market. They put it in a bowl as if we don't notice that their cooking tastes a lot like where we went for dinner last night.... not to mention that they all of a sudden learned how to cook :)~

I remember. Everything was homemade. My Aunt made the best rolls. No matter who in the family had the reunion, everybody always chipped in, with a pie, or or a desert platter, whatever was their speciality, or in my Mother's case, whatever sounded good to her the day she fixed it.
My father's family were country folk, who did not live far from an Amish settlement. My Aunt had the same views as they did on the prepartion of a meal. A big selection of meats, veggies, fruit, so many sweets, so many sours, always a feast at her house.
Even potlucks at work have changed. It used to be a showcase for the good cooks to display their cooking expertise. Now days, one had to worry that there will be as many buckets of KFC chicken there as people.
I guess we are just too busy to cook, and bring it. And scarier, I don't think we know how to cook like the elders. And with all the cooking shows on tv, there goes that excuse.

Not all families are like that, my family still all make their own stuff. But for those that buy stuff it's probably because with our modern day world everything is so fast pace that they don't have the time to do that, but the way I look at it is, if you have the time to spend a day with your family then you have the time to make something from scratch.
You obviously found a way to make time so just make a little more and do your own cooking. Home cooking is always better then store bought!

Baked beans in the crockpot! I finally begged my grandmother for her recipe... hers were the absolute BEST!! After she passed away, I brought her recipe beans with me to the reunion and everyone applauded. We were able to grieve together and yet remember how much she loved to cook and what all of our favorite dishes of hers were. It was a wonderful closure. I was asked by so many people to bring them every time, that I just didn't have the heart to refuse. Now I'm the designated "Baked Bean" person. I already have made a recipe card in my cookbook referencing Grandma's beans for my daughters to enjoy.

My grandma always made homemade rolls (plain and some with either poppy seed or prune filling - her version of kolachy) if she went somewhere else. If we all went to her house, she made a huge pot of the best chili...nothing like any chili you think of, it was totally her own!! Man, I miss that!

My dad makes the BEST potato salad! Not only is it delicious, he makes it look pretty by garnishing it with "flowers" he makes out of tomatoes and radishes!
I've seen people try to pass off Boston Market or deli purchased salads as their own, too!! That's funny!

Most elders are more than happy to fix up a batch of home-made treats, but finding all of the right food sources and resources can be impossible. You may need to help them gather what they need.
My personal favorite are bannogies. Is it bannock? Is it a perogy? No! It's what my friend's Mom calls, a bannogie... and mm...mm... mm.... are they ever good.

Baked beans! Original family recipe from Denmark is over 100 years old, and you need a real crock bean pot. I'm just learning to make them. It is an art, and maybe some day I will make them as well as my mother does.
