    Mashed Potatoes. My mother was not a good cook, but we always had mashed potatoes (Irish), so us kids would bury everything in mashed potatoes in order to get it down. LOL

    My Mom is the oldest of 7 and grew up peeling potatoes all the time, she refused to make real mashed potatoes and we had the boxed potato flakes. Real mashed potatoes at someone else's house were amazing! My SIL makes them for holidays, it's my favorite dish.

    Oh, yes! Same... it's usually a spread in my house. Also, my dad usually would (and still does) make the fluffliest scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage patties!! I can smell it already... OMG. and toasted cinnamon bread with melted butter!

    Hilarious, the one time a year my mom did and does make breakfast is Christmas morning. She always makes these cinnamon rolls, eggs, and ham.

    Grandma used to make biscuits and chocolate gravy for us as kids. I know it sounds gross, but it's so good. There's no meat in the chocolate gravy. It's like a less sweet, thicker pudding.

    I always wanted one too...I never got it for my birthday...but ended up seeing it at our school's 'market fair' and got it for a steal! I had to (with my mom's help) make up our own recipes (although I wanted my mom to purchase the 'real' packaged ones...again, she never did lol!) Best 'light bulb' I ever bought as a kid!

    We used to have these on a regular basis, for my siblings and I to have for lunch or a snack. My mother did the majority of all of the cooking, but we used to prepare these for ourselves when we were young. They came in a cloth bag and we would boil them in water and put hot sauce on them when they were ready:

    Notice the tamales were 4 for $1.00...I'm pretty sure this was a package of 12, because tamales (and food in general) was super cheaper than it is now (of course people made less too).

    We used to also put peppermint sticks in our pickles too:

    But you don't just cut up hot dogs in canned beans and serve it....
    You use all-beef kosher dogs.
    You add onion soup mix, mustard, and chopped onions to the beans.
    Bake it in the oven until the top is brown with crispy edges.
    Mmmmm.....
