A bowl of homemade chili with a chunk of sweet cornbread! Salmon patties with Mac n cheese (this is a rare treat since it's not on my regular diet...lol). Fresh tomatoes chopped up in fresh corn then lightly sauteed. 


I am making homemade chili and cornbread this afternoon! I also like salmon patties with mac and cheese and/or buttered potatoes. 


Every Friday night growing up my mother would make salmon patties,  mac & cheese and green beans for dinner.

French fries dipped in a Wendy's chocolate frosty.  Salty and sweet in one bite. Yum!

@Ruthie-Roo, I think it's only fair to ask for that frosting recipe. Someone in my family did that on graham crackers too. You shook up a buried memory....I can't place it, but I remember them. Thanks.


@qualitygal@Ruthie-Roo

 

My mom made icing with one stick of room temp butter, 1 box of powdered sugar (were they 10 oz? Does anyone know?), a sprinkle of cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, and a tablespoon or so of evaporated milk--enough to get it the right consistency.  She always made it in a big bowl and stirred it with a fork!   I think maybe there was a splash of vanilla as well.   And sometimes a little ooffe!

I like to scrape the edge of an ice cream sandwich with Fritos.

@QualityGal  :-)  There isn't a recipe -- my mom just makes it.  However, I will see if I can get approximate measurements and instructions for you.  My apologies, as things have been, and still are, hectic around here, so, it may be a wee bit til I can provide the "recipe."  I'll do my best. 


@Ruthie-Roo, Hey, don't worry about it. I think it was some powdered sugar frosting. I think a little milk and a little vanilla, and I think that was about it. To taste and I'll bet most moms knew how to throw that together. I do remember it though.Woman Very Happy


@qualitygal  Yes, that's pretty much it, but with some Hershey's cocoa to make it chocolate.  I still have not pinned Mom down for her frosting mastery, sorry.  And yup, most moms probably DO know how to throw many things together with not much, if any guidance.  I swear, every birthday, I don't want a store-bought cake, even from the finest bakeries; I just want Mom's chocolate frosting on a yellow Pillsbury cake.  This past year, a family member got a store-bought cake for my birthday celebration, unbeknownst to me.  I had some, and was very grateful.  But you know, Mom's is always best.  I digress....  LOL  Hope your frosting-making efforts work out well!!  :-)

I love fried eggs with toast, and I also like to make a fried egg sandwich out of them with bagels, and add a piece of cheese to it like a breakfast sandwich. That can make it into a really filling breakfast sandwich then. Smiley Happy

 

I also like the old stand-by of soup with crackers, too. I like regular saltines with my soup, and I also like to eat a bowl of chili with saltines, too.
