There were so many of these recipes that I recognized. These were foods my late parents grew up eating. Good or bad, these meals feed people across the country. Here’s what’s exciting, similar foods were eaten in Europe and Russia. Below will be ones which were familiar.
SUCCOTASH: Lima beans, tomatoes and onions. I didn’t really care for it back then. However, I do think woththe right seasonings it could be awesome.
VEGETABLE SOUP: My late mom used to make this in the winter with ground meat. Nothing particular just what we had in the freezer.
STUFFED TOMATOES: My mom loved this. There’s room for improvement. But it does have potential.
PICKLES: These pickles are easy. Make a brine and pour it over cucumber spears or however you decide to pickle them. I am sure there was lot of moms who just shoved the damn cucumber in the jar in between nursing and referring kids.
DESSETS: There was two particular ones that brought back memories. Rice pudding I ate growing up. Applesauce was another. My mom often used applesauce in the place of oil.
