My mother requested this elegant dish for her wedding luncheon.

Grandma fixed this hearty hash on brisk fall mornings before a day full of activities.

Many of Grandma’s great lamb recipes came from her relatives in Colorado, which is lamb country.

Quick-cooking pork tenderloin was Grandma’s easy solution for unexpected dinner guests.

Shredded pot roast and a little gravy over toast made a great lunch the next day.

My mother said that when she was a child, Tuesday was ‘stuffed pepper day’ at her house.

Grandpa always said that plain good cooking like this never goes out of style.

The German butcher in our neighborhood stocked plump and juicy sausages for Grandma’s special casserole.

Nothing sharpened our appetites more than the rich smell of stewing beef.

After ball practice, we headed for supper at Grandma’s, where she fixed us her beef-and-potato casserole.
