Family Food Traditions

 

I'm joining Joanne from My Slices of Life for the theme this month - Family Food Traditions.

Meatballs

I used to make meatballs all the time when I was first married almost 30 years ago.  I've used this meatball recipe from Joanne at My Slices of Life that we all loved.  I hope to get back to making homemade meatballs again.   We like them with tomato sauce and pasta.

Broccoli Rabe and Pasta

I make Broccoli Rabe and Pasta for our family quite often.  It's one of our favorite meals I make for dinner.  I was taught how to make this meal almost 30 years ago by my father-in-law.

Spaghetti Pie

It is a tradition in my husband's family to have spaghetti pie and a meat pie for Easter.  I learned how to make spaghetti pie from my husband's Aunt.  It's delicious tasting and it goes great with a salad.

Stuffed Mushrooms

I usually make stuffed mushrooms that I learned how to make from my husband's aunt.  I make them for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  

Pesto Pasta

I always grow basil every summer to make my pesto sauce.  I don't use pine nuts for this recipe.  It tastes delicious with pasta.

Lentil Soup

I always make lentil soup during the fall and winter months.  I usually will make it in the crock pot or instant pot.

Irish Soda Bread

I love making Irish Soda Bread for St. Patrick's Day.  Our friend gave me this recipe that was his mom's, who was from Ireland.  I've been making this Irish Soda Bread recipe for many years now.
