We kids loved eating our beef and beans out of Grandma’s cute little bean pots.

Grandma learned how to make these from her best friend.

When our folks weren’t watching, we pretended Saucy Beef Parmigiana was a finger food.

Grandma got the recipe for this classic southern dish from an old and dear friend she met in Virginia.

These savory rolls became a Friday night favorite when we spent weekends at Grandma’s.

Like so much of Grandma’s cooking, this is simple, hearty and memorable.

Poker night meant delectable, warm Reuben Loaf for Grandpa and his card-playing friends.

An easy, memorable dish like this made great dinner party fare at Grandma’s house.

When Grandma went out shopping for the day and was short on time, she made quick dishes like this one.

These delicious beef kebabs remind me of summertime cookouts at Grandma’s.
