Cooking loved ones' recipes

This is one thread title that definitely benefitted from that apostrophe.

That said, one day I would like to attempt my mom’s Mongolian barbecue recipe.

I feel my Mom in my kitchen when I make her baked beans or Texas Wiener sauce. Both are SO yummy. Both of us have provided these recipes when we're asked for recipes for school or charity cook books.

I know that my Gramma is with me when I make her paska bread, kolachi and her mother's pierogis. The kolachi recipe is also from her mother. I remember making all of these with her when I was growing up.

You know, when I first read it I did immediately think of recipies for cooking loved ones - I guess I've watched too much Twilight Zone!

My mother got her recipes from her mother and MIL.

Many with cabbage. Stuffed cabbage, sautéed cabbage and onions, cabbage soup, etc.

My maternal grandmother (Babcia) made “Salad Potato,” with Miracle Whip, Wish Bone Italian dressing, and celery seed.

Paternal Babcia made something she called “Romanian Eggplant.” Peel and cut into cubes, sauté in oil, add tomatoes. Put in casserole dish, top with buttered bread crumbs and bake.

That beer chugging aunt I mentioned last summer made an amazing spaghetti sauce.

I follow another aunt’s recipe for Snickerdoodle cookies.

There are probably others.

My mom always used to bring baked beans to family potlucks. - I don't make them as often, but I think of her when I do.

I also make my aunt's cheese balls for holiday gatherings.

As far as sweets go, I make my mom's chocolate no-bake cookies. I love seeing her handwriting on old recipes!

My Mom made the best beef roast w/potatoes and carrots. I often requested that meal for my birthdays. I also loved her Swiss steak. She never wrote down a recipe and she overall didn't really enjoy cooking, but I always think of her when I make these two meals.

I think of my grandma when I make green tomato pie. It's hard to make these days because I never see green tomatoes in the grocery store.
My mother's potato salad made with a cooked dressing is unlike any I've ever made. She created it herself and I had to watch her make it in order to keep a recipe for it.
