I have a cooking question!

What’s your best old family recipe? That amazing recipe that’s written on a stained index card you keep tucked in the back of your gran’s old Joy of Cooking … .

It's a simple one. My husband’s grandmother shared her Marinated cole slaw recipe. It has no mayo and it is bright and tangy. There never are left overs.

Omg! Any chance you would share this recipe?

Does anyone have a go-to food or drink that you love to serve when you’ve got company?

While I am not vegan, I have a pasta recipe that IS vegan, and it tastes divine! My friends request it alll the time! I double the sauce, because I like it realllly saucy!

It’s super easy to make, and comes together in like 30 mins!

Unfortunately my Mom and Grandma were the type of cooks who added things into the pot until their ancestors whispered for them to stop, so no recipes. I inherited that gene too because I "adjust" 98% of the recipes I try. Or maybe I learned it from Mom watching me cook and "eyeballing" it and advising.

Swedish pancakes
It is a recipe I found in my mom's stuff, supposedly from family way back

Swede here! May I ask what makes them special? We usually just use 3 eggs, 3 deciliters (like 10 ounces?) of flour, twice as much milk, and a dash of salt. Melt some butter in the pan and add it to the batter, then let rest.

Some people get fancy with cardamom or cinnamon, but I usually don't garnish until after cooking.
Serve with strawberry jam, or some other favorite jam.

I tried syrup once on them, and it almost made me gag

Very much the same as your ingredients. We would garnish them with blueberries, powdered sugar, and cinnamon.
They were pretty special to me as a kid because we only had them on holidays or if my Sweden born grandfather was with us, and he would make them.
Def not the kinda pancakes I would pour syrup on!
Another recipe, not sure about the spelling...was an oven pancake, my mom made them as a quick breakfast sometimes.

That's lovely! Thanks for sharing
And that's an ugnspannkaka! Literally overpancake. The same recipe, but you bake it in the oven at 200c for about 30-40 minutes.
A variant of that, for a foodier dinner, is adding shredded bacon or ham to it, and you have yourself a fläskpannkaka, hampancake. That one is served with Lingonberry jam!

Mmmmm now I’m hungry lol

I never answered my own question!

My gramma recipe is buttermilk cornbread. Unlike the cornbread you make from a mix it’s not sweet (except for the natural sweetness of the cornmeal). I learned it from an old collection of family recipes my sister-in-law put together in the 80s. I make a pan every Thanksgiving as the first step in homemade stuffing, but it’s great on its own with butter and jam.

I don’t have any living parents or grandparents. What I wouldn’t give to have handwritten recipes, you know?

Same girl, same.

 

[Zrosey]

And that's an ugnspannkaka!

Oooo! I even kind of remember that word, I've never tried making that myself but now that you have given me a clue how to make it I think I'll try!

For Christmas Eve dinners mom would make a sausage thing, if I remember right it was called skorv (not sure how it is spelled) and with cardamom bread, and a few other Scandinavian things.
My mom is gone, but I should ask my sister's they might remember some of the names of stuff.

Good morning ladies. Wishing everyone a happy hump day!

I attempted to make falafel (which I love) at home for the first this this week.

That looks so good!!

Thank you! It turned out better than I expected. My mom is visiting and it is her favorite. I still am nothing compared to her cooking (or my grandma) but she wasn’t displeased.

Please let us know how it went if you ever do!

Hmmmm. Skorv is a childrens skin disease so probably not that Maybe Prinskorv? Do these look recognizable? They're a staple on the swedish christmas spread.

Not sure about the cardamom bread, maybe kardemummabullar? They're basically cinnamon rolls but with cardamom. They're not exactly a christmas exclusive though. Tasty all the time, every time! If you and yours remember anything else I'll be happy to help out with identifying

 

[Zrosey]

....ummm, nope, probably not, I never did learn much swedish from my folks, so anything I'm guessing at could easily be way off!
Is there a word for potato sausage? And the cardamom bread, maybe it wasn't a swedish recipe. Mom made it in a braided loaf, and I think she mentioned it as a thing?
Another food my grandparents would bring was cheese. I don't remember it very well, but think it was called ost.

My mom is gone now as are my grandparents. And I no longer have contact with my dad, so unless my sister's remember names for the foods we ate, I don't have much to go on.

 

[Zrosey]

Please let us know how it went if you ever do!

I'll def let you know, and I'm anxious to try making ugnspannkaka!

I was lucky enough to see the eclipse in Washington State in 2017, really cool!
Hope you have clear skies, enjoy!

Too cloudy in my state for anything. Got a little darker, now back to normal.
