Some of my best memories growing up were sitting around the super table with my family and discussing our day.
My sisters and I were always involved in some school or church activity, and Momma was always finding a quick recipe for supper. We lived in the country, so running to the nearest fast food restaurant was not an option. We had fresh veggies out of our garden, and sometimes Momma would make some cornbread and fix an all veggie meal. Those sure were good.
As a child you really don’t appreciate the goodness that comes from having your own fresh produce. I am in the process of getting our garden planted. I am so excited about growing my own food. I love having fresh, sliced tomatoes on the table with every meal, or my favorite meal, a fresh tomato sandwich on white bread, with Blue Plate mayo.
I hope you enjoy these fun, delicious recipes! Have a great week!
