Re: Dishes You Love (Or Loved) That You Don't Make

Quite a few things, many of them because DH doesn't care for them and I don't see any point of going through the trouble and expense of making them just for me. He hates rice, so all dishes with rice are off. Also, scalloped potatoes, tacos, chicken salad, deviled eggs, any Mexican food of any kind. We both used to like green bean casserole -- now neither one of us likes it. Well -- there's a lot more, but I can't think of them right now!

My Grandma's :

Challah

Gefilte Fish

Potato Knishes

Blueberry & cheese blintzes

Apple Streudel

Stuffed Cabbage

When Grandma cooked the aromas permeated through the neighborhood.Everyone would show up hoping for some. Grandma literally fed the entire block!!

Anything with beef, other than ground. We used to have a broiled or grilled flank steak or London Broil every week or so, but DH says he can't digest it anymore. I can't remember the last time I cooked a steak of any kind. On my birthday and anniversary he takes me to a steakhouse - other than that, it's off the menu around here.

The first things that come to mind are any pasta dishes. I'm diabetic and have eliminated things like Mac & Cheese, Spaghetti, Lasagne, etc. I'll still make spaghetti about once a year but I used to have it every other week. I've made Mac & Cheese using half cauliflower but didn't care for the flavor & texture.

Doughnuts made from scratch and cabbage rolls are something I saw made as a child but have never made myself.

@house_cat I can no longer digest beef. I, however, love beef. I love steaks. We had a favorite place to buy steaks for special occasions. I miss that. It has been 20 years since I had a steak. I probably have had 4-5 burgers in the interim, but no more than that, and then was unable to eat it all.
