There is Just Something So Wholesome About Down Home Cooking / myLot

Tonight, my daughter is cooking Goulash. It is such a good meal and so easy to prepare. I love good and basic home cooking. Sure I go in for the fancier fare too but the basics are where it's at. Like beans and corned bread, chili, corned beef and cabbage, meat and potatoes. Probably many in here had their own tried and true recipes. They have foods from their country of origin. I love good Mexican, Italian and Chinese dishes as well as just American dishes. What is a favorite down home recipe you like to fix?

Oh I make it all. Probably my #1 comfort meal is spaghetti/linguine and meatballs. I make the sauce and meatballs from scratch.

Those frozen meatballs are not very good. Like you,I prefer making my own.

I love roast dinners and lamb chops would be a close second.

We cook every day here unless we need to eat leftovers. My son loves goulash. Well, basically he loves pasta in any form. He really likes lasagna and spaghetti,too.
