Favorite food dishes from childhood
Here are some of mine:
Noodles Romanoff (It was like mac and cheese but with linguine-type noodles, and I liked the version that came right out of a box and was discontinued, so says the Internet. It had this amazing cheesy cheesiness!) The Chefboyardee pizza kit (OMG, it was so cool, all in one box. Mom would have my brother and I make it with her. We'd make the pizza crust which was quite thin. Then we'd get to pour a small can of tomato sauce from the box on the pizza. Then we'd get to sprinkle this parmesan like cheese packet all over the pizza and put it in the oven. Pizza magic!) Homemade potato chips (Our longtime babysitter would make us this after school. She'd slice a potato, fry it in butter, salt it, and put ketchup on the side. It is best eaten while watching Little House on the Prairie.) Fried clams at Friendly's followed by the Happy Ending (!) Sundae (Perfection.)

My grandma would make this home made baked bean dish that she had individual special baked bean dishes for with long handles. They'd be baked in the oven for hours, and the scent was too die for, as was the taste!

As an aside, I make my own potato thins (when industrious) by slicing potatoes really thin, tossing in just a little olive oil, then sprinkling with light salt and sometimes oregano. Something like 425 oven for 15 minutes. I got that from a book, though.
My mom was an OK cook but a fabulous baker. She made rhubarb pie with rhubarb from our garden. Every Christmas, she made a giant pile of cookies. I found the recipes at my brother's. She used to make cakes from scratch, but mixes always tasted homemade, somehow. Anyway, some of her dinners were: Stouffer's Creamed Chicken on rice. I haven't found creamed chicken in years, but could probably find the recipe or something close. La Choy Chow Mein and sweet rolls. Sounds terrible, but I make this myself. Meat loaf. Her recipe was, "Oh, I don't know, I never measure". I like mine, but it doesn't come close. Her spaghetti sauce, which only I like. It was very tomato-ey and strong. I do have that recipe, and like to make a huge batch and freeze in bags. My kids won't eat anything but Prego. My dad made first-class pancakes, and he was the undisputed cook for his service organization's pancake breakfasts. He made them for us every Sunday. Of course, mine can't come within light-years.

My birth mother was not a good mother, but she was a fantastic cook. I loved her homemade banana pudding and would stand at the stove and stir the pudding (for what seemed like hours back then) while it cooked. Then she would layer banana slices and Nilla Wafers. It was a rare treat.
She also made the best homemade biscuits I've ever had.

My Mom didn't cook so we ate a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches when I learned to make them. I think I was 7 or so.
So that has always been my go-to comfort food with a heavy childhood memory

My ma made some great mashed potatoes and turkey gravy. I remember eating that a lot when I was a kid. Also, she made french bread pizzas with sauce, pepperoni, and cheese. They were really really good. When I got older, I ate a lot of Velveeta sandwiches (mayo/cheese/pickles). Lastly, Kraft mac/cheese with green chili. YUM.
Now as an adult, I don't eat any of that-- go figure. |

Yes Yes about the boxed Chefboyardee boxed pizzas. I loved those when I was little. My mom would chip up hot dogs into tiny pieces and put on the top.
I had not seen this in decades until a few months ago at one of the dollar-type stores. Couldn't wait to make it. When I opened the sauce can, I tasted it ... %?*@&%# ... they changed the flavor of the red sauce ... Bye bye, the whole thing went into the trash can. Talk about a let down ... I felt slam-dunked.

Egg noodles with mushrooms, a little salt, and butter.
Even though I largely avoid wheat, it's still a comfort food here. My daughter administers it as needed, and I eat when I really need comfort food. My grandmother made: Grapefruit halves with a maraschino cherry in the middle, twice baked potatoes stuffed with spinach and cheddar cheese, spaghetti you dream about, peanut butter cookies with M&M's in them, and chocolate pudding. What I craved when I was sick: Iceberg lettuce with Italian dressing, and canned pears. Not sure what that was about. My poor mom was in the role of food provider and she hated cooking. As much as my grandmother LOVED to cook, my mom didn't pick up on it. Combination of lack of interest in learning, and I think it was my grandmothers alone time in the kitchen. My mom hated cooking, my father worked a night shift noon-midnight, my brother only wanted pasta and steak, and I wanted salad and vegetables. I didn't really discover food until college. |

I totally forgot about that Chefboyardee pizza box!!! Me and my mom and my sister used to make that all the time. What a walk down memory lane.
Neither of my parents were always the best cooks when I was a kid, but they tried and oddly have both become excellent cooks these days. Some childhood faves: -macaroni and cheese out of a box with chopped up hot dogs (my Dad made this on his nights to take care of us) -fish sticks and French fries -homemade mac and cheese with toasted Italian bread crumbs on top (still a major adult comfort food) -my gram's homemade spaghetti sauce with meatballs or Italian sausage -grilled cheese (also still a major comfort food) -mashed potatoes with gravy -Steak-ums (OMG the most horrifying fucking food EVER that I would never eat now, but loved as a kid. Does anyone else remember these?) -Beef Stronganoff Hamburger Helper -Cheeseburgers and French fries (I also loved the Friendly's kids meal with the happy ending sundae) -fresh strawberries and peaches -Lipton chicken noodle soup -homemade Old El Paso beef tacos (my sister and I used to fight over who grated the cheese LOL) |

Funny every time someone asks about my favorite childhood food memories the very first memory that pops into my mind is how much I hate liver and onions and dreaded that night every week when I was a kid. Still hate liver and onions worse smell I have ever encountered.
As for fav that is easy Moms country fried chicken with real mashed potatoes and gravy Grannies soup beans with home made corn bread that was made in her cast iron skillet corn bread only pan OMFG no better corn bread out there The gardens tomatoes with sugar on them as a treat every summer once they were ripe My homemade spaghetti that I have been cooking since around 10 My cousins Sunday breakfast for dinner night, eggs, biscuits, sausage gravy,real home fries, all of it except for the chocolate gravy My aunts home made bread and butter pickles

I absolutely loved my mom's version of goulash. She made hers with elbow macaroni, hamburger meat and usually onions, peppers and a random bright colored veggie, be it red peppers or carrots, etc.
It was a simple dish but even after all these years, I still can't get mine to taste like hers. |

My mom worked but always had a meat and two veggies at dinner.
I remember most.... Salmon patties Fish sticks Country fried steak Fried chicken Hamburgers and she put bread in them prior to cooking. I know now it was to hold it together better and make it go farther. Salisbury steak At dinner time we told each other about our day. It was a happy time...unless there were peas!!!

I loved my grandma's home made beef stew/soup made with stew meat, tomatoes home canned, carrots and potatoes. YUMMMY and I still make it for myself today. I Love that stuff.
I also loved my grandma's home made chicken and dumplings, awesome stuff and was all hand made dough....not biscuits. I love my mom's fajita soup over rice. It's really pretty delicious. There's a lot more I like that I can't seem to think of at the moment.
