My mom gave me her copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking but I haven't made anything yet (keep meaning to make Julia's Boeuf Bourguignon). My mom made it every Christmas Day. It was her nod to gourmet. I also loved her Porcupine Meatballs, her Betty Crocker Pizza made from a kit in a box, and her spaghetti with meat sauce.

I just made Julia's Boeuf Bourguignon with my mother-in-law and it wasn't very difficult. You can watch Juila's cooking show on Amazon Prime for free, which we did. BB is the first episode. It was delicious.

I made boeuf bourgignon for a date once in high school. I think I was pretty much the definition of "trying too hard."

It was good, though.

My mom is Hungarian and my favorite dish she made was cabbage noodles. She would sautée onions and cabbage and put it over egg noodles with a bit of powdered sugar on top.

My mom's spaghetti sauce was the BEST. She started it by roasting beef bones, and it had italian sausage, green peppers, onions, mushrooms. So good.

My mom made wonderful mac and cheese. She used three kinds of cheese and cream and butter! She also made awesome hot dogs. She would butterfly them, broil them for a few minutes and then top them with mashed potatoes and cheese. yumm. I have never made that for my kids, maybe tonight.

We were not very well off, so steak for us was usually pan fried " cubed " steak with pan gravy. The gravy was incredible and I have never been able to come close to duplicating it.

Sauerkraut - with the cabbage cut on a nearly 50-year-old cutting board never used for anything else. Unbelievable - I about threw up the first time I had jarred sauerkraut.

Stuffed Grape Leaves was her best dish growing up.

I loved the smell of the house when she made anything with eggplant (although I was not crazy of the taste itself). She always fried them first before she put them into anything and it always smelled like homemade french fries.
