When a recipe has been passed down for generations, you can bet that it’s trustworthy. Old-fashioned recipes are time-tested and Grandma-approved. Best of all, they usually remind you of your childhood – when Grandma would actually make them for you!
The recipe that makes me most nostalgic is probably my family’s beef stew and biscuits – the ultimate comfort food. The soggy, sweet biscuits soaked in the beef stew was so addicting, I definitely went back for seconds. It’s such a simple, vintage recipe but I remember it so well! What recipe comes to mind when you think about your family dinners growing up?
