at least for me...I made a meal that my mom used to make when I was a kid, and boy, was it good. Brought back so many memories.
Share with me your favorites from the past.
Here's mine...simple, but yummy.
Cabbage and potatos
1 large head of cabbage
3-5 lbs of potatos, peeled, and cut into large chunks
1-2 rings smoked sausage or keilbasa
salt,pepper to taste
Put potatos in a stock pot, cover with water, plus about 3-4 inches more. Cut the cabbage into large chunks (I cut it into wedges, about 6-8 pieces) leaving the core behind. Add to the pot. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook over low heat all day (or at least 4-6 hours). An hour or so before serving, add the sausage to the pot (I put the sausage in whole, then, just before serving, I take it out an slice it then add it back in for serving) leaving it on top of the other inredients.
Serve with a crusty bread.
It's even better the 2nd day.

Sounds very good. I love cabbage...especially stewed with bacon or any sort of pork. I also love corned beef and cabbage.

My mom made the same thing. I'm not a fan of keilbasa or polish sausage (too salty) but I love boiled cabbage. There's no better way to clear out a crowded room after dinner.

Not that I would ever do such a thing :clueless:

Here's a "Mom" recipe I remember (good when the food budget is stretched beyond its limit)
Elbow macaroni
Leftover ham, diced
1/2 stick Butter
2-3 eggs
Salt & Pepper
Parmesan Cheese (optional)
Boil elbow macaroni according to package directions. Once you pour the mac into the colander to drain it, add 1/2 stick of butter to the pot, add the ham and sautee until lightly browned. Add drained macaroni back in and add the eggs. Stir over low - medium heat until eggs are cooked (will be like scrambled).
Add parmesan if desired and salt & pepper to taste.....Serve!
Good with a salad.
