20 Forgotten Recipes Your Grandma Always Had On The Table!

[@VintageLifestyleUSA]

Did your grandma have a special dish she always made?

[@MaryIannacone]

@@VintageLifestyleUSA oh yes. My Italian grandmother made delicious meatballs and my Irish grandmother made delicious stew

[@arleencorreia-pires]

Yes Portuguese beef roast chicken sweetbread sweet rice egg custard cupcakes

[@SassyyjuicyMaria]

Hungarian rolls bcz on hubby's side they do have Hungarian ancestry

[@billgrandone3552]

I lived with my grandparents for three years while my mother was in a mental instution. My favorite dish which my cousin and I called "Nanny's pancakes' was a simple omlette of two eggs, two tablespoons of flour dissolved in milk wth a pinch of salt and stirred until there were no lumps of flour. A pat or two of butter was added to a pre-heated cast iron skillet and the batter was cooked until golden on both sides. It was served on a plate and slathered with white Kayro syrup , that at the time was recommended for children as easy to digest. We litteraly licked the plate clean every morning that she made them for us. When i made them for my kids I added vanilla and almond extract to the batter and went easier on the Kayro. But for me, heck I'm 75 so whatever Kayro might do to shorten my life is well worth the enjoyment of the taste of "pancakes like grandma made them." Second place would be her Social Security soup made when there was too much month at the end of the money It was a simple soup of barley with carrots onions, celery, and chicken necks backs, and giblets she got for nothing from the butcher, with salt, lots of black pepper, celery leaves and parsley added for flavor. These days I make it with diced chicken breasts and my wife and kids seldom stop with just one bowl/ Third would be dandelion salad. dandelions wilted with hot cider vinergar and diced cooked bacon together with the burnt pieces and hot grease mixed in the frying pan with the vinegar. Then the dandelions were garnished with diced green onions and slices of chilled hardboiled eggs. I use red wine vinegar or raspberry vinegar to cut the bitterness of the greens.

I don’t have Grandma memories and my Mom wasn’t a cook either, but I decided I wanted to give my kids that kind of inheritance. My kids are grown now but they still ask me to make their favorite dishes, cakes, pies and cookies. They love coming to my house. I am looking forward to having grandkids and then they can talk about their “Grandma’s recipes!”

[@donnamays24]

My grandmother always made the best breakfasts ever..I grew up in Western NC..and her biscuits and sausage gravy was the best ever…she finally told me the secret to her sausage gravy (she always used fresh raw milk too) a few years before she passed in 1989…she said now don’t tell cause if people knew the secret they might not want to eat it…she said when nobody is looking you just put a little splash of coffee in it and stir it in right before serving…it truly was the best culinary secret she ever passed my way…btw-she cooked every single meal she made in her 78 years of life on a wood stove and I’m convinced doing that added its own unique flavor..and she prepared 3 meals a day! I so miss her..and her cooking!

[@terifrank7393]

Aawwww. Thx for sharing your special memories of your dear grandma.

[@ServraghGiorsal]

Me too. I lov cooking on a wood stove. Can't move enough for that lifestyle anymore, but blessed I got that lifestyle experience . HOME COMFORT 😅😅😅

[@Mr._Anderpson]

Agreed. I grew up in WV and we often used coffee as a rub on a pork loin. To this day, I can't live without my cast iron skillets & Dutch oven. The modern cookware just doesn't turn out dishes which are quite as delicious. I have my great-grandmother's personal cookbook and some of the recipes are difficult to recreate. She also used a wood/coal cook stove and there were never any instructions on the temperature for the dishes since there was no dial to regulate the heat.

[@kathy.7475]

My grandmother made the best hash brown potatoes I’ve ever had. The smell was heavenly. She used parboiled potatoes and cooked them with onion in bacon or sausage grease. I will never forget the smell of that wonderful breakfast. She passed in 1974 at the age of 88.

[@lisaknox4257]

My grandmothers, who died 6 months apart when I was 8, then 9, were opposites. My Mama Len (maternal) was the sweet, quiet one, always with goodies. My Big Mama (paternal) was very social, with cards in one hand and a beer in the other, a good time. She cooked only if she wanted! Loved them both.

[@donnamays24]

@@lisaknox4257 “Big Mama” with cards and a beer in hand…I bet she was an absolute gem! Love it! Blessings♥️

[@williamrichards7081]

I remember as a kid always going to the grandparents for Sunday dinner. Often it was chicken and dumplings . So good and family time the rest of the evening. I miss grandma and grandpa so much. Gone all these years. RIP.

[@tjmiller5060]

We used to sit in granny’s parlor and all listen to the radio all evening, sitting around the coal stove. Those were the days.❤

[@robinholbrook8296]

Same here. She was born in 1903 and made the best chicken and dumplings ever.

[@RichieBukky]

I hate it 😩😩

[@MaryIannacone]

I’m a grandma 5 times over and it’s wonderful to know that my grandchildren love my cooking! My oldest grandson just left for college and wanted one of my dishes before he left. 😊

[@SuzieQ-lw2kp]

What was some of your grandma's dishes you loved and what is the favorite your grand kids love of your dishes??

[@MaryIannacone]

@@SuzieQ-lw2kp my grandkids love my lasagna. I loved my grandma’s meatballs and beef stew.

[@AM-br4ix]

Miss those glorious days!! My Grandma died in 1999. Beautiful lady and Wonderful Cook!!!❤❤🙏

[@kailee5694]

Growing up, we made popcorn balls every Christmas. Raising my daughter, we made peanut brittle and almond toffee as Christmas gifts every year. There is nothing quite like home made candy.

[@jilledmondson6894]

MY UNCLE MADE PEANUT BRITLE FOR HIS BAKERY IN BENSON, MINNESOTA IN THE 1950'S. HE ALWAYS SENT US A COUPLE OF POUNDS AT CHRISTMAS. BEST PEANUT BRITTLE EVER.

[@emmitstewart1921]

We're all still eating grandma's hubbard squash pies. The canned pumpkin that we all make our homemade pumpkin pies with is actually made from hubbard squash.

[@susanmercurio1060]

The stuff that is in the cans with a picture of a pumpkin is also Hubbard squash. They aren't practicing false advertising because the Hubbard squash is botanically a pumpkin, and pumpkins are technically a squash. I once got a bounty of Hubbard squashes and I canned them for pies.

[@avondalemama470]

My grandmothers were really good cooks. I just wish I’d paid more attention to their recipes. I loved and miss them.

[@ServraghGiorsal]

Fried yellow squash and onions, fried green tomatoes, succotash with fresh cut corn and lima beans, greek potatoes with lemon, fried okra, okra with tomatoes and onions on rice. Hoppin john, pinto beans from the garden with corn bread , sweet potatoes out of jackets whipped with butter, cream, and nutmeg. Fresh green beans with bacon . Rice with fresh shelled green peas and minced lettuce and mint. And always,ALWAYS fresh biscuits or corn bread., homemade elderberry or strawberry jam. In spring, poke salat. Spicebush tea. Morel mushrooms.lambs quarters with rice and vinegar. Oh wait. That wasnt Grandma, that was ME. ON OUR FARM IN ARKANSAS. 😅😅🎉🎉🎉

[@jenniferwilliams7086]

Great memories for sure.... but they would be even better with the recipes...

[@dmr122003]

my grandmother was the best cook ever…boy do i miss her..god bless you..

[@sherried.3861]

My mom and maternal grandma Ethel made bread every Monday. I remember coming home from school knowing I would get fresh bread and homemade jam for snack! My grandma Ethel made the best baking powder biscuits - no recipe. She made chicken pot pie with those biscuits on top. So good!

[@newengland2352]

I miss my grandma best Italian cook and you never left her house hungry. The good old days when family would go to grandmother's house enjoy delicious food and have conversation around the table .

[@susanmercurio1060]

My great-grandmother came to the US from Calabria and we went to her house every Sunday after church. The whole family would be there. The only Italian word I learned from her is "Mangia!"

[@newengland2352]

​@@susanmercurio1060yeah, I hear you ,my grandmother said it all the time mangia mangia. If you didn't keep eating she would say what's a matter you sick?

[@chickadeetle]

I still make Biegli (Hungarian nut rolls) but my family made them with walnut, poppy seed, prune lekvar (jam), and cheese (made with a type of farmers cheese called Turos). I also carryon with my grandmothers fried cabbage and noodles, stuffed cabbage, chicken paprikas, gulyas (goulash), soups, cookies, cakes, plum dumplings, fried dough

[@paulalascola6714]

[@chickadeetle]

carry on making the recipes to honor them and give you comfort

[@emilytisdale753]

My paternal grandmother put sugar in everything...very little protein and veggies with little flavor extra sugar. I hated eating there...always followed by white cake and ice cream melted so the cake was soggy...yech! My maternal grandmother always served lots of veggies...cooked to death. Edible but not not good. She did make good biscuits. My mother hated cooking so dinner was always a limited rotation of protein. Our sides came from cartons or cans...applesauce, cottage cheese, prunes or jello. When I finally got to leave home I discovered a whole world of culinary delights!!! Chinese, salads, Italian, seafood...etc. I spread my culinary wings and have flown high!!!

[@alicemaggio8854]

Post ww2 grandma was the expert on making use of what's on hand because they had lived through the depression. The key to getting fresh perfectly ripped blueberries is to do what we did, bought 6 large bushes from a retired berry farm.

[@arescue]

I know that you might mean perfectly ripened blueberries, but autocorrect wrote ripped, so now I’m imagining blueberries at Venice Beach pumping iron. 😂

[@Not-surprised]

Unfortunately not everyone has grandma memories like this 😢

[@PamelaSelf-po9mf]

My mom made homemade old fashioned egg custard, I'm 73 and I make it now so good. A good way to use up extra eggs and milk.

My grandma was from Czechoslovakia and she used to make every Christmas sugared plum dumplings. It was my favorite over anything at the big family dinner.

[@swannoir7949]

Omg. My friend's mother use to make plum dumplings. I've never had them before, and haven't have them since, and not many folks I know ever heard about them. Is that a Slavic or Bohemian traditional dumpling?

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

Curious I googled Czech fruit (plum) dumplings. They're made with fresh yeast, milk, and cottage cheese....(and then some) 🤗 They looked delish ! Love from Norway 👩‍🦳🇧🇻

[@lorrainedudek9447]

My grandmother was Austrian, so right next door. She would make the most delicious plum dumplings and also apricot dumplings. Brings back such good memories. Also for the holidays we would have the nut roll and poppyseed rolls. So good! Miss both my grandmas.

[@Heartwing37]

Thank you all for sharing your memories. These sound delicious and I’m going to look up a recipe for them!

[@kassiewoods8475]

My Nonna (Italian) made the best foods, she passed away at 103 years old but she cooked until the last 2 years. Then my uncle who was a chef on an Italian Cruise Ship took over when he was home. I was 13 when Nonna passed away and 26 when Uncle Mario passed so I've learned from the 2 best chefs I have ever met. ❤❤❤

[@earlinejackson8151]

My(74yo f) grandma made pies that were out of this world, but my favorite was the dried apple pie. Made from the apples that Grandma and my aunt picked from her own trees and dried carefully every year so we could have dried apple pie all winter, along with cherry pies from her own cherry trees, canned for the winter months. Along with all the other foods they preserved, our favorite meals were in the winter.

[@margarettickle9659]

My Oma made Oxtail soup with marrow balls. I'm 73. My father made German Potato Pancakes. They were wonderfully different. My sister's pork chops are also different. People beg for them. The homemade beef gravy was awesome. No canned for us. Top all that off with an apple dumpling with vanilla sauce ladled over it.

[@RiceaRoni354]

My Oma made wonderful potato dumplings, rouladen, pretty much everything. Her potato pancakes had some grated onion and apple in them. So good.

[@ServraghGiorsal]

We made sour cream date drea m s, hermit bars, peanut butter cookies and snickerdoodles. Her specialty was caramel 2 layer cake with burnt sugar frosting. And VEGGIES.

[@susandooley9630]

LOL my paternal grandmother used to ask ME for 2 lbs of peanut brittle at Christmas time!!! One year, she, her sister, brother & sister-in-law were going on a road trip & I was asked by all of them for my peanut brittle…I made enough to fill a gallon jar!! Then they argued over who was hanging on to it during the road trip 😂😂😂 I’m almost 71 now & my 16 yr old grandson LOVES it, while the 18 yr old loves my chocolate~mint fudge!!

When I was a kid in the 60's, my Mother's mother, Memaw could make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. She could make anything delicious out of the barest ingredients.

This is like the third video talking about meatloaf. It hasn't gone anywhere. Everybody eats it.

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

Popular food ! 🤗 A store bought meat loaf (ca 0.4 kg) of finely ground pork mince, might taste lovely, but costs roughly US$ 9.00... In Norway. 😳 I prefer to make my own. With peas, corn and carrot inside, and bacon rashers on top. For Christmas, there will be a home made roulade meat loaf. Using pork and reindeer/moose mince. Spread with a paste of mushrooms, onions, cranberries, and spice. All rolled up in bacon. Served with cranberry sauce, gravy, oven roasted potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and celariac. ❤🎄❤🎄❤🎄❤🎄❤ Love from Oslo 👩‍🦳🇧🇻

Shoofly pie sounds a lot like Pecan pie minus the pecans. Too sweet for me but very popular in the south.

[@maxineb9598]

My grandmother used to come and stay with us dvery christmas. Many a time she'd be sitting at thd dining table picking the meat if a pigs head to make brawn. But she sure could make a ginger ale fruit cake and steamed fruit pudding for Christmas Day.

[@David-ic4by]

I grew up in Western Michigan which is a Mecca of blueberry cultivation. Neither my family nor any I knew served blueberry pie at Thanksgiving. It was a summer treat, obviously. Don’t know where this script comes from but not the real America I know.

I got spoiled because women in my family were often in service as cooks, so they could cook. One of my favorite desserts that I fix occasionally is white wine custard with cinnamon egg foam topping. While it has wine as ingredient, the custard being cooked gets rid of most of the alcohol and I really like this custard because the white wine makes it not overly sweet.

[@carolblaquiere3864]

Baby boomers were the last generation to enjoy Grandma's recipes. Then moms went to work thinking they'd have a more prosperous life. We modern Grandmas don't have time to be domestic. Too bad too, because the nurturing left the world and women aren't as soft as they used to be. I think they are very angry and with good reason. They were hoodwinked.

[@susanmercurio1060]

Women didn't just go to work outside the home because they wanted to be "more prosperous"; they *had* to work outside the home because wages have been stagnant for 50 years and it took two people working to maintain their lifestyle. Now it takes two people working two jobs each to maintain their lifestyle.
