Last night, over pork chops, we were talking about foods we remember and liked from childhood. Scott liked pork chops and tuna casserole. I dredged up some memory about salmon loaf. Ew. Then I remembered how the smell of sauerkraut filled the whole house. Neither of those were my favorites. Foods I love that my mom makes (or made): meatloaf, potato salad, nest eggs, these yummy German dumplings (shoot, I forget the name--Mom, help), spritz cookies, cream cheese cookies, and many more dishes that I'm undoubtedly forgetting. I wonder what Jacob will remember from my cooking. Yikes. That's kind of a scary thought.P.S. Did you know there is a national meatloaf appreciation day? Isn't that awesome? (October 18, by the way.)
My question is: what is your favorite food you remember from childhood? Do you make it?
My mom's meatloaf is right up there, as is her fried chicken. Both of my grandmas made incredible swiss steak. And my Grandma Beery was a fantastic baker. Her chocolate cupcakes were awesome.
