Ask the Readers: What’s your favorite family recipe?

I am currently drowning in first week of school tasks, plus my mental state is super distracted because we are all waiting for our math exam grades. I and multiple other 4.0 students are feeling pretty worried that we didn’t pass because this one was a lot harder than we expected.

We have to get 90% of the 20 questions right, which leaves so little room for error. And I already know I made one careless mistake.

Sigh.

Soo…this seems like a good day for a short post from me!

A little while back, Rose commented with a post idea:

What might be a fun post sometime is your and the Commentariat’s favorite family recipe.

two recipe cards.

I feel so not hungry right now, I can’t even think of what my favorite recipes are. But of course, you can always browse all my posted recipes right here!

If I was forced to nominate one of my favorites, though, it might be my grandma’s apricot sweet rolls. Those are serious comfort food for me!

For my wedding 32 years ago, my sister wrote to all my family and my husband's family asking for family recipes. She compiled a recipe book for me. The favorite of my family is Kielbasa casserole. 1 Kielbasa, 1 small can crushed pineapple, 1 jar of chili sauce and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Bake in a Pyrex covered 2 quart dish at 350 for 35 minutes. Serve with crusty sourdough and green salad.

My grandmother's chocolate refrigerator desert! It's a pretty simple "church luncheon" desert, and you can google it to find a number of variations, but, of course, it always tasted the best when my grandma made it โค๏ธ

For me, it was my momโ€™s spaghetti sauce. It was just a simple meat sauce with a few spices. Every time I make it I think of her, always have. Itโ€™s my childrenโ€™s and husbandโ€™s favorite. My mom hated to cook. I think because my dad could be critical and nit picky. The sad thing was, she was a decent cook. I wish she had believed that. I consider myself blessed to have had her as my mom.

For context I grew up in NM. So my the most comforting will always be something related to that. My grandma was considered a good cook. I liked her Biscochitos, tamales, and her Posole. She also made great tortillas.

I always looked forward to my mama's homemade pancakes on the weekend! I was so excited many years later when my son loved them just as much!

Fingers crossed for an excellent grade on your test!
