Re: What was your favorite meal when you were a kid?
It's too hard to choose just one! My mom grew up on a farm in Kansas and even after she married and moved to the city, she continued to cook as if she still lived on the farm. We always had enough food to feed unexpected guests and had leftovers to boot.
My very favorite meal was chicken and dumplings (made in the pressure cooker) with homemade, hand rolled noodles. Talk about fattening, but as a child I didn't care...I just ate it all up!
I had two favorite desserts...mom's lemon pudding pie baked in custard cups AND her carrot cookies with confectioner sugar icing.
After I married I continued, and still do to this day, to make the same recipes as very special treats for my grown children and grandchildren...but not often!
One of these days I'll tell you about her homemade stew, fried chicken, and meatloaf...oh so good, too.
