Mac and Cheese with butter bread. Nothing special but I would absolutely devour that stuff

Not a meal but the best is a Chocolate Pound Cake she made for all special occasion. Thinking about it, my grandma wasn't much of a cook but damn she made some good sweets

Oh, I left off purple hull peas with sweet tomato relish. Nobody has hardly ever heard of the stuff, much less makes it anymore.

My husband grows tomatoes to eat fresh but mainly to make and put up sweet tomato relish, that we just call tomato sauce, for me. Got to have it on my purple hull,peas. My kids won’t eat peas without it either. Anyway, my husband is a yankee but grew to love soul food and is pretty darn good at cooking it.

My only grandma I knew was a great soul food cook, but i mainly remember her teacakes and cake with brown sugar icing with pecan halves spaced perfectly on top. And her coconut pie and cake with 7-minute icing. Hmm, funny how desserts are top of my list.

Thanks for this walk down memory lane. As I am 70, i am also thinking of my mom’s cooking as I read. The “kiss on the forehead” comment drew a few tears.

Too many meals to count!

Pot Roast, Mac and cheese, yams.

Brings back such good memories. I spent all my summer vacations there . I hate to say it, but she's probably the reason I was a fat little kid.

She cooked meals like this 7 days a week

Carrots and ground beef. Sweet and savory.

She wasn’t known as a good cook (Mom was), but her carrots and ground beef dish was outstanding.
