My Mammaw always made tea cakes when I was little and still does now. They are the best and the dough, which she always let us taste, is better than the cookies. Even though she gave me the recipe, mine never come out as good as hers.
My grandma made the best vegetable soup and canned it. I could’ve more excited when she’d send me home with a jar to make for dinner! I miss her so much, AND that wonderful soup!
I loved when my grandmother made funeral potatoes. Yummy.

My Grandma always added a pinch of love to all that she made/did. I remember making Sunday Communion Calls after Mass with her and Grandpa. Usually I stayed Saturday at their house. On Sunday we’d go to Mass the go on Communion Calls. It was so much fun. I remember eating her chocolate chip cookies…always been one of my favorites.
I love and miss you Grandma!
That looks like an awesome book! My grama is like a mother to me, and we have lots of great memories, but one of the top ones is her teaching me to sew on her ancient Singer. She’s also taught me most of the things I love to do: sewing, baking, cooking, crafting and gardening.
My favorite memory is with my grandmother. We would make something called Hungarian Palacinta, it is a very sweet filled crepe.She was born and raised in Hungary and has handed down numerous recipes to me mostly baked goods. And since I love to bake I cherish these vintage recipes. I have now handed this recipe down to my daughter. I can’t seem to ever make enough or make them fast enough in the kitchen. We seem to eat them up as fast as I make them. I miss my grandmother soooo much. She was the cutest lady. Thanks for letting me take a minute to think of her. ciao4now64@yahoo.com
You are welcome! Thankfully, I still have one of my grandmas, but I lost the other one seven months ago. It is hard. I should have shared more about mine, but it’s still kind of hard. Thanks for sharing about yours!
OH MAN! That cookbook sounds AWESOME! I LOVE old fashioned type recipes and just the sound of REAL Red Velvet Cake is making my mouth water!! I’m followin ya back, YAY almost 700!!!
my grandmother was the best southern cook ever….fried chicken, pound cake, apple nut cake (if my grandfather was eating no nuts, because they got caught in his dentures) she never used a recipe…amazing.

OOh I loved making peanut butter cookies and divinity with my Gaga–my mom never could get the knack! And with my Nana–I loved it when she made homemade chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes–nothing better!
What a great cookbook. My nana taught me how to cook when I was a girl. I remember making pound cakes and she would make the sweetest lemon or orange icing to drizzle over it. Yum!

Sounds like a fantastic book! I never cooked with either of my grandmothers and sadly they died while I was young so I sadly don’t remember them much. I do remember going to my Aunts for homemade food. I just had my dad and we tended to live on frozen pot pies and TV dinners so my first taste with homemade food was with my aunt and she gave me my first recipes!
Great giveaway and it sounds like an awesome cookbook. I’ve been a cookbook fiend lately and have been collecting a lot of them!
thanks for letting me enter! i follow!
Every year my grandmother and I would do a cookie bake off for Christmas. Every year we would make dozens of cookies and cupcakes. My all time favorite with her were snickerdoodles and when we made black bottom muffins. I’m hoping this will be a tradition with my children and grandchildren some day!
I love cookbooks!! I am a transplant to the south and true southern recipes. My husband gets so excited when I find one and they turn out. Oh, and his favorite cake is Red Velvet so you see I really need this book! Thanks for the giveaway.

Wow…my gma’s homemade rolls! I love making them for my family today and each and every time I am reminded of her and Thanksgiving rolls!
I am a new follower and can’t wait to see if I win!
Thanks for the giveaway
I love Southern cooking!! We were blessed to live in the South for 5 years and I can’t wait to go back. No Grandma story though, they both passed before I was born.. Hoping to make some good memories for my future grandkids someday though 🙂
Hi!
Unfortunately I was not blessed to grow up around either of my grandmas as they both lived so far away. I did however at one point get to sample one grandmother’s ginger snaps. She made *the* best ones I have ever had! A soft yummy yummy cookie! I wish she had left her recipes behind for her family. Every time I have a ginger snap I think of her & think to myself…it’s not as good as your was grandma!
Thank you for the opportunity to win in this giveaway!
