The older I get the less I enjoy thinking up ways to create new recipes, that's why I joined this site, it might get my creative juice going again. I absolutely love food and there are not many foods I dislike, that's my weight problem. I joined Weight Watchers online, so if anyone has any SFL recipes to share I would appreciate it as well. Cheers, Carolyn My favorite thing to cook is some type of Pasta Sauce. Most of my past family members, especially my Mom, her two sisters, and of course myself, learned to cook the following dishes. These were the family's traditional foods to be cooked year round by my Grandmother Brown (born in 1896). She taught us these basic dishes and just a few of us to this day cook them the way she did with just a bit of tweeking in some. I now have passed a few of these same dishes onto my two daughters and they too start from the traditional recipes and tweek them as well. I hope the tweeking by different generations doesn't change the originals too much. Here are the few dishes... Meat Stuffings, Chicken with Rice and Dropped Dumplings, French Flat Dumplings, Succotash, Dried Beef Gravy with Link Sausage, Hamburg Gravy, American Chop Suey, Shank Soup, Pepper Stew, Lamb Stew, Mac & Cheese, Boiled Dinner, Baked Hash, Baked Beans, Meatloaf, Cod Fish Cakes, Hot Ginger Bread with Real Whip Cream, Yellow Cake with Apple Slices, Cranberry and Banana Nut Breads. American Chop Suey (like no other), Mashed Potatoes, Grilled Steaks & Chops, Meatloaf, Succotash, Soups> Beef Barley-Cabbage-Pea-Chicken, Corn Chowder, Clam Chowder, Macaroni Salad & Potato Salad, Chili Con Carne,(All simple but nonetheless really good). Too many to mention ;-)
