home made biscuit pudding
mustard greens
veggie soup
this from my mom's mom.

from my dad's mother,
orange slice cake
fresh biscuits
gravy for biscuits
any garden veggies
peach cobbler
banana pudding

both were very good cooks

I can't leave out my mom though, she is one of the best cooks I've had the pleasure of sampling.

Never have I tasted anything from her that was not good. And she uses no exact recipe or measurements as she cooks.

All this talk has made me hungry for good ole fashioned cooking, so I had to dig up a old fashioned biscuit pudding recipe, it is cooking as I type.

Grandmas huckleberry cobbler with hand churned homemade ice cream on a late July afternoon, after a long day of stacking hay bales

Fried chicken, fried catfish,and oh my goodness, her scrambled eggs were to die for! She also made the best custard pie, rhubarb crisp and we'd head out and pick wild berries and she made wonderful cobblers. She also made great dinner rolls.

I don't know what it is about grandmas, but this is the most mouthwatering thread on the forum, IMHO.

I'm envious of all these great grandmother cooks. One of mine died when I was 7, so I don't remember her cooking.

I seem to have inheirited my love of cooking and collecting cookbooks from my other Grandmother, but to be honest I usually dislike the food she makes...

Maybe she used to be good, I've only lived in the same state as her for the last 6 years.

Could this be it or something similar? It says it's GErman. It takes days to prepare evidently:

Do Grandfathers count? He was the cook in my Dad's family. He would make "Pizza-Jean", it was a stratified pie that had salami, prociutto, mozzerella, hard boiled eggs, green veggies, tomato, ect...

I don't see why not. Someone else mentioned a grandfather.

My maternal grandmother: plum dumplings with a warm cream sauce. She'd put chopped walnuts over top and a bit of sugar. You'd cut through the dumpling and the cooked plum juice would mix in with the cream. Heaven!
