The food that reminds me of home: it’s chicken soup with pastina that my mother always made to comfort me when I was ill.

I would love to participate in this event and raise awareness for education and homelessness. Have I missed the deadline? In the meantime the foods that remind me of home are English Muffin Loaves. My sister and I would make them as often as we could when we sent away for the recipe booklet from the yeast company in the early ’70′s.They speak to our English roots without all the fuss of making English Muffins.

My mother didn’t cook alot but her Chicken Fricassee and her meatballs were the best.

The only dessert she made was confetti jello, small dice of colorful jello mixed with whip cream and chambord liquor. Served in a huge glass bowl, this was my favorite growing up.

Strawberry season is upon us and these berries look like a must try. My fondest food memories is of a Custard Gelatin my mom use to make. My mom is gone and with her it appears, is that recipe. I cant find it anywhere. Not even Google. Can you imagine?

One of my fondest food memories is the wonderful poppyseed or nut rolls (filled yeasted sweet bread rolls scented with mace and lemon zest)that my grandmother used to make for holidays. I think these came from her middle/eastern European background. I am pained that in a recent move I accidentally tossed the recipes written in her own hand.

[...] the meal with some strawberries and blueberries coated in honey and a chiffonade of fresh basil. Zoe reminded me how much I liked this simple desert. Honey and basil together transform into something new and [...]

My mom makes the best fried chicken. I’m not sure how she makes it so good. I’ve tried it myself and it never tastes like hers. Even as an adult I’ll call her up and pester her to make me some!

HAHA! I laughed when I read your requirement for the giveaway because I was not raised with home cooking, since my mother didn’t/doesn’t know how to cook, and my father, who is a good cook, wasn’t around. I would say that to-go boxes from various restaurants most remind me of home as a child. Now that I cook and bake daily, things are different. However, I still don’t have a particular dish in my mind that conjures up that warm feeling of home.
