Mine are mom's chicken n' dumplings or brown beans and her homemade fudge. The honeysuckles were fine, made me think of how much the smell of snow reminds me of home.

Oh, all these wonderful foods are making me so hungry. I'd nearly forgotten those tasty pies!

Every now and then my mom baked bread. She made pies a lot and I'll always remember her getting us up early in the morning and putting about 3 layers of clothes on us and it was hot and taking us to the pasture to pick blackberries. The chiggers would eat us up and we came home and bathed in Clorox! But, it was worth it at breakfast cause we had homemade blackberry jelly and it was really good on the homemade bread!!!

My grandmother made a killer chicken soup from scratch. She also could bake homemade rye bread and sour dough bread. She would make baked apples on cold days after school. The kitchen smelled of cinnamon and apples! She served it to us with fresh whipped cream and hot chocolate. It was such a joy to come home and find her there! That was my little northern granny!
My little southern granny could bake the best corn bread south of the Mason Dixon line! She always had fresh churned butter and honey with it. When we had Sunday dinner at my southern granny's home, she would make southern fried chicken, snap beans and new potatoes, fresh from the garden! Her homemade yeast rolls,and fresh from the garden tomatoes sliced and chilled. Blueberry cobbler made from wild berries we would pick with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! A fresh glass of ice cold milk! She also made a mean pecan pie!

It would have to be the chicken and noodles that my grandma made every Sunday for us when we would come to visit her. She would boil the chicken the day before and make the noodles from scratch, let them dry out some. Then the next morning she would make us the dinner, and she always had hot home bread with butter to go with it. Now that is making me hungry!
For some reason, we just can't make them the way that she did. We have tried hard to do it, but no dice.

For me, it's homemade Chicken & Noodles. Mom made the noodles from scratch and we were always happy to see her doing that because we knew we were in store for a wonderful dinner!
An extra treat was when there might be some leftovers for lunch the next day..... but that rarely happened!

Queer as it might sound, pot roast. My mom would always put a roast in the oven before we left for church on Sundays, and by the time we got home, all she had to do was fix the rest of the stuff to go with it. The roast was always so tender you could cut it with a spoon.
The house smelled divine when we walked in.
To this day, roast beef and green beans are two of my favorites.

Moms' mashed potatoes and gravy. And her cream pies of
chocolate, coconut cream, and banana cream. They always
had a meringue topping.
I also miss my grandmas German cooking. Her German
dumplings with fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy or
her dressing/stuffing. Her cabbage rolls, her dumpling soup
with potatoes, Kaishenefla, Kugel, and strudel. And the first
cup of coffee she ever made for me, when I was in grade
school. Oh, and her "no apple pie' made with soda crackers.
It was one that went around during the great depression.

My granma used to make meat and potato pie. They called it hot pot. I now make it for my family. Homemade spaghetti and meatballs that had been simmering for three hours and there was so much chili pepper in it we kept asking for more milk. We loved it. I make that too but it's hard on the reflux problem. Homemade apple pie made with spy apples and nutmeg and sugar.mmmmmmmmmm

Chile Powder spaghetti on Friday nights. My mom made spaghetti sauce with every spice known to man! Mom didn't really have a recipe but she really did try! She created her own spicy version and the aroma still rings a bell.
