Another holiday favorite in our home growing up was Canadian pork pie. My father was French Canadian and this was passed down from his side. I make it every New Years day in my own home. It is similar to shepherds’ pie. The recipe as it was passed down to me, includes a mixture of lean ground pork and beef, potatoes and onions, and various spices including clove and nutmeg.

A winter staple recipe for us is homemade chicken soup. Needing no one else’s accolades, I humbly admit I think my chicken soup is the best I have ever had. I tweak it a bit each time I make it, so it is always a bit of a surprise, but I do love it and never tire of this principal dining delight.

We have several other “Mom will you make…” recipes or reminiscent recipes of days-gone-by that stimulate all the senses and bring a smile in the contemplation. The recipes at the links above are not mine, but they look pretty good too.
What are some of your favorites you have from the family archives?

Hi Maria. I don't think I've had Roulauden before, but my grandmother was German, so it's possible. I do remember the red cabbage dish though--quite good. Now I'm getting a hankering to try something new :)

Lots of good German dishes. I'm sure you could share a few from your heritage, Sharon. Thanks for visiting. God bless, Maria
DeleteThe chicken recipe looks wonderful thank you! Will save it and make as winter is upon us here in the southern hemisphere. When the A-Z is over I'll look up my mother's recipe for crunchies ... made with oats and syrup.

DeleteThis food looks awesome! I can't say anything about your chicken soup's flavor since I've never tried it, but the picture proves that it's the best looking chicken soup I've ever seen!

All that food looks good! I'm going to have to try that chicken soup some time! My mom used to make something called cabbage pie, basically dough on the bototm, dough on the top, inside was cooked cabage seasoned with butter, salt and pepper. We always had it at least on the Saturday before Easter and probably some other Fridays since we didn't eat meat on Fridays. Recently, hubby and me were talking about trying to get the recipe from my sister to make cabbage pie, so that's what I have a hankering for :)

ReplyDeleteThe food you've made looks lovely, Maria. Thank you for sharing it :)
ReplyDeleteFood always brings back so many memories. I am making more and more foods from my childhood when I can as they aren't things I can get here in America.
