My dad had a huge garden. Only think we bought from the grocery store was rice and meat. We would have some sort of protein, then a veggie over rice. Corn, snap beans, butter beans, purple hulls, mustard greens all over rice. Rice every day.
Steaks were terrible. Poor quality and cooked until grey. Roast was awesome. Black on the outside and tender/juicy inside. Fish was fried if catfish, courtboullion if goo. Grew our own potatoes, Irish and sweet. Grew beets and other roots as well. Tomatoes were everywhere, but I never ate them.
That pretty much sums it up.

Good- Red or white beans and rice, "Red Gravy", and Jambalaya.
Mediocre- Eggplant Parm, Baked Chicken and Rice, Tacos. ETA: Roast.
Bad- Any Seafood dish, BBQ Chicken(dads fault), and too many casseroles to name.

My dad had a huge garden too and my mom canned shite loads of vegetables. So we ate a lot of corn, potatoes, peas, squash, beans and shite like that.
As far as meats, we had chickens and pigs and rabbit dogs. I remember eating lots of chicken, squirrel, or rabbit and dumplins.
We were in north La, so we never had rice.
Almost forgot my mom's specialty, okra, tomatoes, and ground meat in a crockpot. I still love that stuff.

we had pork chops, rice and gravy with a side of green beans or black eyed peas or corn.
Or round steaks, rice and gravy, with the aforementioned sides.
Meatloaf, spaghetti, lasagna.
it's weird. That's all i can remember. She's an excellent cook, but the things that we ate every week that were very simple, are the things i remember the most. They are also the things i try to introduce into my weekly lineup at home, but the fiancee' resists.

Round steak, smothered pork chops, smothers chicken
Posted on 7/9/13 at 2:57 pm to Jazzbass13
we had meat, rice/gravy, and a vegetable most nights. mom or dad (both cooked quite a bit), would brown some kind of meat--chicken, pork or beef, usually--with onions, spices (usually salt, black pepper, cayenne, and garlic). make a gravy, and let it smother down.
that would be served with rice and some kind of vegetable on the side--corn, green beans, black-eye peas, or purple hull peas were the usual suspects; generally the vegetables came from our garden. if we were having chicken, we likely raised it.
we also ate seafood, gumbos, étouffée, couvillion, etc. but that stuff was mainly reserved for the weekend. mon-thur, we usually had some kind of smothered meat, rice/gravy, and vegetables.

There is no type of cuisine that was not on the table at the house except Lebanese. Name any other region of the world and we ate it.

Eddie I'm fairly certain we are related and by related I mean thisclose. That was our menu growing up as well.

Grandpaw had a farm and raised chickens, cows, and hogs so we had a lot of fresh meats, eggs and milk. We'd "help" my grandfather milk the cows and my grandmother would pasteurize and bottle the milk herself.
The milk was so rich. The cream would float to the top of the bottle and make a thick layer that you could spoon out and mix into your coffee milk in the morning.
Thanks for the memory.. I miss my grandparents.. They were hard working, skilled farming folks.
