Now I am very hungry. Haven't had wilted lettuce in ages.
My favorites are Chicken and Dumpling, the way my grandma and mother made...my mom says I am close to getting it right.
Fried potatoes with onions
fresh baked pies
corn bread dressing

Yes I used to eat cornbread and milk.

The comment about poor folk food made me laugh. Some of our poor meals growing up were- Hamburger Hash (meat, potatoes and the broth), Beans and greens, Beef and noodles, elbow mac with tomatoe sauce, spam, potted meat...(yucky)

Oh-I've had many of the "'Po 'Folk's" meals as well. Yes, Spam, potted meat on saltines, creamed chipped beef on toast. Also TV dinners and pot pies.

LOL , sounds like you guys lived on the same easy street that I did . Our meal choice was whatever we had .

Turnip greens. Collard greens. Radish greens.
See a trend starting here don't ya.
My fave still is wilted spinach with bacon and onion and egg. I love it, my family hates it.
And yeah, cornbread and buttermilk. Nia is always fussing at me about my southern cooking, except when I make gumbo. Don't have the heart to tell her that Gumbo is Cajun poor!

Sure do. When it is off season I go to farmers market in soulard. Hard to believe what you can buy there year round. And for a good price!
I grew up on a farm so growing my own veggies is second nature. That and the larger the garden the less grass you I have to cut. LOL

Haven't been to Soulard Market in years-Thanks for the reminder-everyone should go there when possible!

An old family recipe. Homemade beef and noodles. The noodles are basically dumplin's. Soooo Good!
Wilted lettuce is one of my favorite summer foods. That is the main reason I plant a garden. Homegrown leaf lettuce makes the best wilted lettuce : ) I could make a meal on that and cucumbers and onions in vinegar and sugar.

old-as-the-superbowl . I,m with you nothing is better than fresh lettuce from the garden . In fact I love everything out of a garden .
. One of our daughters ask us , What did I think , that made someone try cooking fried green tamatos . I told her I wasn't sure but my guess was they coundn.t wait for them to get ripe . LOL

Forgot one thing to the camp meal. Pear cobbler. Or peach or apple or strawberry, oh well, any old fruit would do.
