Crazyheart - you took mine!

Okay - I'll go with my second choice: lemon loaf.

Roast Chicken

this is more of a dad food in my case but

BBQ steak

Chicken pot pie

Butter tarts

pumpkin pie

egg custard

Ribs and mashed potatoes

When I was in England my mom and dad stayed in my residence with me one night and that's the meal I begged mom to cook for me.

Scones

peach pie

rice pudding with raisins

chelsea buns

Sausage stuffing. My Mom's gone, so now I have to make it myself. Not the same.

marshmallows soaked in whippwd cream and rolled in cocoanut for Christmas. Yum!Yum!

french toast - my mom made the best! (we didn't like the bread crusts for sandwiches, so my mom would freeze them and when she made french toast we fought over the crusts :)

My mom also made the best turkey stuffing, potato salad, dumplings, and soup.

Egg and chips. Very English. So good.
well okay it's not care package material nor holiday fare but it's one of my favorite things Mom makes.

Hungarian Goulash

(it's my dad's side of the family that has Hungarian roots but my mom makes a really good goulash ....)

Salmon loaf with hard boiled egg sauce. Namana still makes it.

tuna casserole  - simple.  White sauce (made from margarine, flour and milk), can of tuna, pre-cooked peas (fresh, frozen or canned).  Mixed together.  Topped with bread crumbs, heated in the oven. 

mac and tomatoes

Rouladen, Rote Gruetze, apple pankakes.

scalloped potatoes

sounds very German.  my in-laws are Swiss so on special occasions we might have raclette. You can always count on a good selection of cheese in the fridge when I got to my mom in law's.  (she makes  a darn fine lasagna too!)

Ohh, Trishcuit, Raclette, yummm.

We had Raclette in Switzerland after climbing up the mountain to the places where the cows are in the summer and the farmer took half a wheel of cheese and put it close to the fire, so it started to melt and he cut the fresh melted cheese right onto fresh baked bread for us. Childhood memories.

sounds yum.

salivating....

cabbage rolls, she made veggie ones for me.

strawberry shortcake

baked beans (almost every Saturday night and not from a can)

some of my favourite mom meals:

french onion soup with a rusk and melted gouda on it

meat lasagna drenched in sauce

mashed potatoes and sour cream and chopped green onions with shredded cheddar cheese

boterkoek

pannekoeken

boerenkool

roast capon with stuffing (Mom put potatoes and bread crumbs in her stuffing and flavoured it with sage - I do the same.  My kids and grandkids love it.)

what is capon?

yeah . . . what exactly is capon?

Let's just say it's not a rooster anymore

a completely safe guardian of the Sheik's Hen Harem :3

I had to look it up on the internet because my curiousity got the best of me.  Yup, that was my understanding - a rooster, who is no longer a rooster .

a chicken????? hahahahaha

Lamb's fry and mashed spuds. Rock cakes. Jellied tongue. But, better yet, was all-natural: the raw stuff off the beach — bivalves from the sand, oysters off the rocks. And "kina" in season (sea-egg roe). Those were the days…

dumplings (dough-boys) on the stew

shepherd's pie

YES! Shepherd's pie!  (whoop of delight!)

creamed peas on toast (my daughter's favourite lunch time meal) especially good with a can of salmon broken in.

chocolate chip cookies

saskatoon berry pie

shoofly pie and apple pie dowdie

(who here can remember the song as well?)

Mud pie (my mom's was made chocolate cookie crumb crust with chocolate almond ice cream- sometimes  with a touch of amaretto-- and chocolate sauce), and grasshooper pie--same concept but with chocolate chip mint ice cream and a spot of creme de menthesometimes (yes my mom puts a touch  of alcohol in some of her recipes sometimes, not enough to get anyone tipsy, just to taste). Haven't had that in so many years. My mom is also onto healthier recipes---but it brings back memories.

Roast beef, gravy and yorkshire pudding. Haven't had that in aaages! Can't remember when. Followed up by mud or grasshopper pie ;) That would be a special occassion meal. Birthday or something. Or apple pie.

Mashed turnips and carrots with butter  and a pinch or so of ground pepper and nutmeg (all well mashed together).Goes well with special occassion meals, especially roasts of any kind.

Mousaka---actually that's one of my husband's mom's--that he learned to cook---yummy, but heavy.

I didn't really like roast beef, but the yorkshire pudding that went with it made it worth it!

My mom also makes the best stuffing and gravy for turkey dinners.
