My East Tennessee friend Lori posted her family's Top Ten favorite meals, which I thought was a great idea! I am working harder on planning meals - and eating at home and liking it. I have been trying new recipes, but the other day my husband and I had this conversation about why I don't make the things I used to make even though we all really liked the recipe. I have this bizarre way of making something A LOT and then forgetting it for forever!?
My Family's TOP TEN favorite meals are:
1. Roast, potatoes & carrots (Dan and Andrew's #1 favorite)
2. Hamloaf (my husband "imports" hamloaf from Iowa each time he visits. I am still not sure WHAT exactly hamloaf is - Google has a variety of answers, but the best I can come up with is that it is part ground ham and part ground pork. It makes good meat loaf or patties - and can be used in the place of ground beef for anything).
3. spaghetti w/ salad and garlic bread (easy!! and we like to add browned ground beef to the sauce)
4. tacos or taco salad
5. loaded baked potato soup
6. frikadellen (a German - and can also be Danish - meatloaf type patty) or schnitzel with red cabbage and fried potatoes
7. hamburgers from the grill
8. corn on the cob - preferrably sweet corn (like peaches-and-cream) directly from Iowa
9. brunch: eggs, bacon, biscuits, sausage, pancakes or waffles, etc.
10. chicken divan casserole - an old Tennessee recipe from my aunt who reminds me of PAULA DEEN! I'll have to post it sometime - if I ever make this again. It's one of those I used to make ALL the TIME and now don't any more.
