What's your best family recipe? My mother made mean spaghetti sauce and meatballs. Unfortunately she never wrote anything down and took the official recipe to the grave with her. Tonight me and my wife gave it a shot using a recipe my older brother and aunt have been working on that's pretty close. Definitely the closest I've ever gotten to it.
What are your favorite or famous fioy recipes?

My grandma has this good lasagna recipe that at the time only my brother & cousin had. The last time my brother made it I asked for the recipe & I made it for some friends & it came out good.
I also have a small recipe for pozole/menudo & a beef stew for the crock pot.

My great aunt lives in a small town in North Carolina and has a famous chocolate cake that everyone demands for their parties. I believe she made like 86 of them last year. She said that she will give out the recipe when she passes. I miss seeing her, I need to get back up to NC.

It's so simple, but I love my grans home baking. She makes me a Madeira cake once a week and for some birthdays in the family she'll make her chocolate crispy cake. It's nothing groundbreaking, but we all love it.
My aunt passed away a few years ago, but every year at Christmas she made me a box of tablet. I'll forever miss that, it was incredible. Saying that, on Christmas day it was gone as my Papa always stays with us at the holidays and if it's on the table he demolishes it.

Yiddish Apple Cake (but since we're not Yiddish, my mom calls it "Grandma's Apple Cake")
3 cups sifted flour 1/4 cup orange juice 1 tsp. salt 2 cups sugar 3 tsps. baking powder 4 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 1 cup oil 3 Granny Smith apples, sliced thin. Keep a side of 2 tsps. cinnamon & 5 tbsp. sugar
Beat all the above ingredients well. Slice apples thin and sprinkle with 2 tsps. cinnamon and 5 tbsp. sugar. Put 1/2 batter into a greased and floured Bunt pan and add 1/2 of apple mixture. Add other half of batter and top the rest of the apple mixture. Bake for 90 minutes at 350.

I always love apple baked goods.

That sounds fantasic. I always love apple baked goods. It's amazing. Sometimes it's a bit difficult to make. It depends on the altitude & how greased the bunt pan is.

My Mother has all of our family recipes from her side of the family. My mother's side of the family is Italian. However I don't believe my mom has any family recipes from my Dad's side of the family.

I'm not sure how many family recipes we have. My dad's mom was a terrible cook, but boy she could bake. I know she taught one of my cousin's to bake and now she's kind of a semi-professional baker. But her meals were pretty disgusting and widely known. My mom has some of her own recipes and just gave a couple to my wife when we got married 2 months ago. Makes a mean crisp, apple, peach, blueberry, all day. I don't think "meals" were a big thing in terms of creativity for my parents and their parents (like how people are foodies now), but something about the baked goods were really appealing.

Every Christmas and New Year's my family used to visit my grandmother and when New Year's Eve would come we used to stay at my aunt's house and she and my grandmother and my mom used to help cook a big feast full of tamales menudo and other Mexican foods and for dessert my aunt was famous for making sandies and her sandies are so yummy they just melt in your mouth. Although my grandmother is no longer alive my mom still keeps her recipes that she learned from my grandmother today and we still have tamales and menudo every Christmas and it's really cool Doctorwhofan

My Brother and his family who live all the way in Arizona don't have access to my Mother's great cooking. So every year around this time, my mother sends my brother and his family one of her famous Italian dinners.

My mom has a seasoning she puts on pork when it cooks in the oven. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas my family request her to make it. She refuses to let the secret out when ever my cousins ask for it.
Her response is always "I'll make some for you" lol

My great grandma passed down every single one of he recipes. Pies, casseroles, soups, chicken & dumplings, sides. So much.
The funny thing is, she never followed it exactly. She always told me that the recipe doesn't matter if you're doing your best to make something great for the people you love.
I miss her so, so much. She was the best.

I love stomping on a bag of wavy noodles and popping them into a bowl, adding some water and throwing it in the microwave a few minutes. Then it comes out fresh hot. Add some little chicken seasoning. So tasty with crackers.
