I first came home to my family from an orphanage at 3 years old. Everything was overwhelming but most of all eating. (I have zero memories of before). My absolute favorite part of everyday. Lunch was right before my mom's soaps and...wait for it.... Saltines and homemade butter. Nirvana. I find myself eating a lot of saltines and butter or Laughing Cow cheese these days. Inner peace :)

When my parents left me alone I would put peanut butter and marshmallows into hot dog rolls. With Cheez curls or puffs, love both.

scrambled eggs & bacon on a hard roll - yum ...

We can't find Family Dinner on Sunday nights - Verizon Fios. One of our fav shows - reached out to Magnolia & they couldn't help us. Did find Bizarre Foods/Del Destinations on a cable cooking channel. Any idea what channel FD is on ? Thx,

Debbie

In the summer, tomato sandwiches and Miracle Whip on Italian bread. In the winter, floor-sweepings bean soup (I.e., HamBeens 15-bean soup mix - skip the meat and the seasoning packet, add a little liquid smoke).

Easily my Mom’s chicken casserole and my paternal Great-Grandmother’s chicken-n-dumplings and potato cakes. Growing up in a small town/rural area in the 70’s-early 80’s, there wasn’t fast food and restaurants on every corner - every meal was home cooked ……..

Ok first of all you crack me up.

As a kid, sloppy Joe's and those little, square, flat, translucent potatoes they served with it at school.
