What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch

No, but she taught my mom all her dishes and my mom taught me many of them.

Today I made a Spanish Tortilla which is not like the tortilla we know in the US and Mexico. It''s basically a potato and egg omelette. I make it on the weekends.

This is my family's potato salad. I had never seen it anywhere before until I found the Spain on a Fork website. I had no idea it was traditional Spanish. I thought it was a crazy concoction my grandma made up. Lol. https://spainonafork.com/spanish-ensaladilla-rusa-recipe/
 

My grandma made paella a lot but for me she made a version she just called shrimp and rice. That was the most delicious thing you could ever imagine. Sadly, I developed a shellfish allergy and can't eat it anymore.

Was this the recipe:
 
I took some Lime and Lemon Chiffon to a potluck on Friday. Great no bake dessert for this hot weather, and easy to make. It has a graham cracker crumb crust (just add a little sugar and melted butter) then mix some Jello (3oz) with 1 cup boiling water to dissolve and cool. Then mix 11 oz cream cheese (at room temp) with 1 cup sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla. Once Jello is cooled, add to mixer slowly. Once all mixed in, fold in 16 oz of cool whip, and smooth on top of the crust. Chill for 3-4 hours before serving.

To make it more fun, I made these in individual clear plastic cups, so easy clean up, and no dishes to take home.

Thanks for the suggestion. :-)
