Do you make anything just the way your mama made it? I don't. Post family recipes in this thread.

No one does. Not a single person on this planet can recreate what the food-important person in their lives made.

Only the family bean recipe and I am not sharing that

I'm the only sibling of 4 who can cook the family salsa recipe bc I was always in the kitchen with my mom. She always laments that I'll have to make the family favorites after she passes away.

Our parents had to grow up with just cookbooks. Nowadays they have literal step by step videos of how to make shit, so yeah it's no wonder why we can annihilate a lot of the recipes our moms made growing up.

Now Grandmas? Yeah that shit hits different.

Haha my grandmother was fucking obese, had diabetes and died like a bitch. My mother is a lazy cunt and can't cook for shit. They can both suck my cock, I'm a better cook than either one of them.

My mother learned to cook from her mother who had to feed 12 kids on a tight budget so most of her recipes are large, cheap, and bland. Pretty much the only usable ones I've found are for basic shit like cookies and egg noodles.

>had to feed 12 kids on a tight budget
Did someone force her?
I prefer to say that your mother CHOSE to raise 12 kids on a tight budget

Mothers mother. So anon’s grandma. Who’s probably from the time when kids would die so often before 3 that you need to have 12 so at least 2 survive to adulthood. Grandma just got [un]lucky and most of her kids survived. Bach had to work himself to near death because his kids were assholes and survived infancy.

pretty muck this. with just a couple exceptions.

>chili
i just cant beat it. incidentally, neither can she. she drifted away from her original process over the years. my current chili is better than hers. but i cant consistently best the chili i grew up on.
>ham balls
this is a controversial local delicacy. sweet meatballs of ground ham and pork with a really tangy light tomato based glaze. i can match her flavor but i cant get the perfect texture every time.

not me, but my brother has been working for a while now on cloning my dead grandmothers brownie recipe. The recipe its self is nothing special. it probably came off the back of a can of Hershey's chocolate powder in 1964. but she made them every time family was around. no matter what. if they came to visit, she brought them. if we went to her house, she made them. graduation? brownies. birthday? brownies. football game/ basketball game/ baseball game/ wresting match for any grandkid? Brownies.
So the change is not the recipe so much as duplicating the processes of someone who made these perfectly identical brownies seriously thousands of times over half a century. since the made them so often they hit nostalgia hard. even my 65 year old mother remembers having these fucking brownies when she started dating my father when they were in highschool.

My mom is a decent cook at best, so I don't try to recreate anything of hers. My grandma on the other hand, incredible meatballs. Shame she died when I was too young to inherit the recipe.

My mom was all about frozen pizza and chicken nuggets. I wish I had family recipes to share.
