My Food and Family has all the yummy details. I’m not the only one who remembers this dish with fondness. Cassidy Morgan Barron grew up with this meal and when she needed something quick to feed Chance Barron shortly after they met, this is what she made. Some of you will remember Cassie and Chance, the heroine and hero of my first Red Dirt Royalty for Harlequin Desire. It’s fun to go back and get all nostalgic. If you haven’t read the book, you can either grab COWGIRLS DON’T CRY straight from Harlequin or from any of the other retailers listed on the book’s page. Just click on the title or either of the pics with cover. What about y’all…is there a childhood dish you remember with fondness?

Sounds yummiful. I bet you could eat mix some pre-cooked broccoli right in that sucker. Yum. And, of course, I loved this book!
Childhood dishes I remember fondly… meatloaf, of course. Kielbasa cooked in Vernor’s ginger ale. My mom used to make these vats of goulash – with 5 kids and two adults, it had to be in large quantities. I didn’t love it then, but I love it now. I can’t make goulash unless it’s in huge amounts, so I don’t make it, but yum. And mac n cheese with tuna. And now I’m hungry.
Sorry for making you hungry. Could you make the goulash and freeze the leftovers in 2-person batches?
I miss tuna casserole. Mother used to make a good one–topped with cornflakes–lol. I made it shortly after LG and I got married. He smiled, told me to eat what I wanted and then he went to McDonalds. He’ll eat tuna salad sandwiches but cooked tuna? Nope. So I’ve never fixed it again in 30+ years. I will admit that I used to snag individual servings of Stoeffers tuna cassarole whenever LG would be gone for dinner. And now I want tuna cassarole! 🙄
