Childhood "throw backs"

Tuna Mac
Mom's Stew
Something she called "Tomato Stuffing"
velveeta, ground meat and potato dish
her "Swiss Steak"
her Spanish Rice

Porcupine meatballs.
Cocktail weinies (In the grape jelly and bbq sauce)
Bologana sandwich. (bologna pan fried crisp in butter)
Chicken pot pies. (from your grocer's freezer.)

Sometimes I miss the “taco kits” my mom would cook. Just simple basic tacos.
That and the “whatever leftovers we have casserole” simple things like that I miss the most

Scrambled eggs and pork & beans. I was an adult before I realized that wasn’t a normal combination. I still think they go great together.

1960's commodities. Peanut butter and cheese sandwich with a lil mayo and a glass of powdered milk.

Pizza Hut’s Priazzo Milano.

Totino’s pizza

I generally split time growing up between my house and my grandpas house as thats where I stayed when off of school during the day and after school.

At his house we would do cheese and crackers, beanie weenies, hot dogs on half a piece of bunny bread, and tuna with boiled egg in it for lunch fairly often. He also cooked dinner during the week and we ate when mom got off work. One of his specialties was chili and mac and cheese. Sometimes he would make it homemade but plenty of times it was just a can of hormel and kraft. I still sometimes crave this. He would also do eggs and potatoes which was he would pan fry potatoes to make fries and scramble eggs on top of them. Good shite.

At home mom would get these grilled chicken sandwiches that were in the freezer. I seem to remember it being in a black and green box but IDK. I ate a ton of those along with the regular TV dinner type things.

Half a lemon and a little bowl of sugar for dipping the lemon, probably when we were out of anything to snack on and mom was trying to satisfy her whining kids. Buttered bread with a little sugar on it. Beanie weenies. (Despite the nostalgia, I’m not tempted to recreate any of these.)

Fried bologna sandwiches or fried spam sandwiches would tempt me, however. My husband will occasionally still have fried bologna on Evangeline Maid with a can of Campbell’s Vegetable soup. And the soup MUST be the vegetarian vegetable soup.

Dinty Moore beef stew over canned biscuits. In my memory, this was a delicious meal. I’m too afraid to try it again and be disappointed.

Stuff my grandma made.

Spoonburgers (sloppy joes with ketchup as the main ingredient)

Chicken Spaghetti with Velveeta

Fried balogna sandwiches on white bread
