She cooked lots of very good food.
Maybe breakfast, which at their house was a big meal - served at may 8:00 am, because PaPaw had already been at work in the barn for maybe 2 hours by then.
Fried runny yolk eggs over buttered rice with country sausage crumbled in it. Fried pork chops - sliced thin before frying and served on a buttermilk and lard biscuit. Cane syrup, cooked off by PaPaw, with soft butter mashed up in it slathered over a hot biscuit. Bacon. Lots of thick sliced bacon. Thin sliced country ham, cured in the smokehouse by PaPaw. Coffee with lots of sugar and cream saucered until cool. Fresh whole (non-pasteurized)cold milk.
Good memories.

Red potatoes. I have very little idea how it was made.

fried chicken, stuffed peppers or stuffed tomatoes. They were all "to die for".

Orange zest crepes with vanilla sugar
For snacks she always had ramekins of chocolate mousse and creme caramel in the fridge.

Waking up to the smell of scratch made biscuits, country ham and red eye gravy. Then finishing off breakfast with a buttered biscuit topped with molasses before heading out to work the farm with paw paw and my uncles. Big plate of beans or her fried chicken for dinner when we came in after a long day. I'd give my left arm to spend one more day like that.

Meatballs and Spaghetti. My dad does a pretty good job replicating it but it's just not the same.

Both my grandmothers were pampered housewives who had maids who cooked for them every day. Neither of them could cook a lick. But my paternal great grandmother made a great beef vegetable soup, and I loved the gumbo made by by paternal grandmother's maid.

One was on the farm in Pointe Coupee, it was Smothered chicken, rice and gravy and greenbeans from the garden. She lived a simple life. Best gravy you ever had.She could feed 20 people with one chicken.
The other was well off, living in Opelousas, every Sunday when we were there it was an impressive spread. And the same menu.
Roast Beef, rice and gravy, dirty rice dressing, best corn maque choux ever, potato salad, green beans, cushaw, home made rolls, Add sliced tomaotes in season and home made Lemon Meringue pie.

Those u that had had a wonderful loving grandparent count your blessings...I was the youngest in a large family and all my grandparents died except for my dad's mother...she wasn't a nice person at all and to make it worse she lived to over a 100...all the good memories that I have of cooking came from my mom who was a great cook...her Sunday roast beef and rice. and gravy was to die for as well as anything else she cooked...I use to love to come home after school and open the door and see what was for dinner...may she rest in peace she worked hard raising a large family and then having to put up with my dad's side of the family was no joy...amen

Chicken and sausage gumbo. She'd make her own sausage with a guy that lived two houses over that had a smokehouse. To this day, my dad still says that his own mother's gumbo was garbage compared to my other grandmother's gumbo.
It was sublime.

Chicken and artichoke with diced red potatoes. Holy cow.
Not sure how she made it...pretty sure it consisted something of chicken legs/thighs, artichoke (leaves and heart), red potatoes, onions, oil/vinegar, chicken broth, cooked on the stove in a 5 gal pot for just short enough for it to not be considered torture before I finally got to eat it.
