My Mom used to make this throughout the summer. Our big garden in the back yard yielded us a lot of cucumbers. Too bad I've never liked cucumbers.

Well both my Grandmother's have been gone for a LONG time, but she used to make us snow ice cream at the first fresh snow.

Scoop fresh snow in a bowl. Add sugar to taste a little milk and vanilla. Mix and eat, YUMMY! It was the best!

I'd have to say macaroni salad is my favorite. My mom finally started making it about 10 years ago, and the first few times it was nothing like my grandmother's. The next time she made it, I tasted it and told her it was so close to Mamaw's. My mom then told me she'd put a little bit of mustard in it. I HATE mustard. To this day, my grandmother still denies that she uses mustard in her macaroni salad.

I just finished making macaroni salad. I would post the recipe, but I don't exactly have measurements for it.

As a kid my favorite from grandma was chocolate gravy and biscuits. :yeah My Grandma could make the best homemade biscuits, I will get her recipe real soon, I can remember her making them in a cast iron cake pan.

Anyway, Grandma would make chocolate gravy using dry cocoa, sugar, vanilla, milk and butter. She would cook it in a pan until it got the consistency of gravy, then we would pour over the fresh hot buttered biscuits, and down it with a large glass of milk. When I mention chocolate gravy to my wife and kids they give me a strange look and go ugh..

Grandma's Savory Stuffing: As close as any of us can come that is . . .

A bowl full of dried bread cubes (a close as we've been able to come, six cups or more of dried bread cubes)

One tart apple (med to large) - minced ultra fine

One large onion - again minced ultra fine

One (between a teaspoon and table spoon) dried sage

One (between a teaspoon and table spoon) dried thyme

Two (we've found the best, teaspoons) dried poultry seasoning

Mix together before adding to other ingredients: three tablespoons of melted butter, 1/2 table spoon of salt, pepper to taste.

Mix all of the above together, sprinkling water over everything till very moist and stuff the appropriate fowl (in this case a turkey) loosely and let the stuffing spill out of the cavity into the roasting pan.

Sorry the measurements are not more exact, but Grandma never wrote down her recipe, and my mom and aunts and guessed at it ever since her going Home to Glory!!!!

Chocolate gravy is an old southern recipe. I used to make biscuits and chocolate gravy for my kids. Now I make it for my grandkids.

Well since my Grandmother's died when I was pretty young, I do not remember a lot except for the snow icecream, but my Mom was from Georgia and made the best fried and barbecued chicken with biscuits, mashed potato's and coleslaw. I kn ow she learned that from my Grandmother.
