It’s not pot pie unless it’s made in a pot.

My Grandma didn’t make me any of this crap.

Two things required for our Holiday dinner...homemade sweet potato casserole and deviled eggs.

[BlackbirdSST]

Slow Cooker is in there several times.

My Granny never had a slow cooker unless for some reason she let Gran Daddy in the kitchen.

Most grandma recipe stuff is gross, in my opinion. I just remember summer squash casserole and ox-tail soup (German grandma). Yuck!

[albie]

Jello salads with vegetables and Watergate salad was big in my house. Both sucked. My mother bought us Froot Loops because she thought it had real fruit. I told her “mom…there’s a reason it’s spelled Froot”

[caver]

Most all of those sound great.

I’m enjoying the lists you’ve been sharing lately. Thank you. Always food for thought. Some recipes look interesting enough to try. I also like perusing other articles at the Eating Well website. There’s a spinach and mushrooms crustless quiche that I’m thinking of trying. Not that I can’t make a great crust. I can and do. Just trying to cut out some of those extra calories.

Grandma didn't have an Instant Pot

Ready to toss.

Creamy Avocado Macaroni Salad / A dish no one can stop eating
Stars avocado ranch dressing, egg/chicken option, bacon, stays green for days.

Ingredients 1 lb spiral pasta (or fave) 1 tbsp ea cooking oil/ k/salt (for cooking water). Avocado Dressing: 1 1/3 cups avocado ~ 1 1/2 avocados, 1/2 cup buttermilk (sub yogurt + milk), 1/3 cup whole egg mayo (just a bit) 3 tbsp lemon juice (sub cider vinegar) 1 1/2 minced gar/cloves, 1/2 tsp onion powder, s/p, 1/4 cup minced dill. Cooked chicken. Add-ins 8 oz streaky bacon 6 hd-cooked egg quarters option 8 oz cherry tomato halves 1/4 red onion, very finely sliced 1 celery rib, finely sliced 1/4 cup minced dill.

Steps Crisp bacon slices on oven rack 20 min, then cool – will get crispier; chop into 1/3" pieces. Dressing: Blender ing except dill til smooth. Add dill and pulse to mix thru. Taste and adjust salt. Place the pasta and dressing in server along with everything else EXCEPT eggs. Toss/combine gently. Add eggs option, then toss gently to disperse. Serve.

Notes: 1. Scoop avocado flesh into measuring cups for accuracy. 2. Buttermilk – near-perfect sub is half yogurt + half milk. 3. whole egg mayo has a smoother flavor than normal mayo. Kewpie mayo is great here. Substitute with sour cream or yogurt for a lighter version. 4. Fresh dill – Coriander/cilantro and chives are also used in the same quantity. 5. Cooking pasta – overcook the pasta until it’s extra-soft because pasta firms once cool. 6. Keeps 4 days in fridge, and stays green thanks to the lemon.

I sure do miss Grandma's Strudel!!(Serbian) Used to start out with a ball of dough no bigger than a soft ball and jiggling it with her fingers, stretch that dough paper thin draping it over the edge of our family dining table!! adding that cinnamon apple filling or raisin and rolling it up for the baking pan!! dang that was good!!

Mom used to go on crazy rants because she could never do it without ripping the dough!! Grandma used to laugh and it upset my dad because he has to live with it after grandma left!! Oh man those were good times!!

Deviled Eggs from the Marlboro Country Cookbook

12 large eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp Dijon Mustard
2 tsp sweet pickle juice
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp paprika
dash to 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Boil, cool and peel eggs
Slice long way
Mix egg yolks and all other ingredients except paprika
Fill egg whites
Sprinkle paprika on finished eggs

We usually skip the pickle juice and up the cayenne a little.

You can put the filling in a plastic bag with the corner cut off to fill the egg whites using cake decorating technique.

Thanks for posting.

Neither of my Grandmothers would of known what an avocado is.

[MayflowerMadam]

We found a very old recipe book at the family homestead, pre-Grandma. A couple of them called for cocaine. (I think my cousin stole that book ‘cause I haven’t been able to fine it.)

[MayflowerMadam]

My grandma had no crockpot. I don’t think she, or even Mom, made those things. (But some look really good.)

[MayflowerMadam]

Pretty sure Grandma never even heard of avocados.
