Did you grow up with a traditional Sunday dinner? Was it roast beef ? A roasted chicken? Or maybe it was something like lasagna or another sort of pasta dish?
I remember loving Sunday dinners. My mom always made us a dinner that consisted of some sort of meat (roast beef or chicken) with mashed potatoes and gravy, carrots and always dessert. Our family was big on desserts! I have had many cookbooks of just desserts over the years. I love dessert!
Back to dinners. When I met my ex father in law, I was told that he made amazing roast beef dinners, as well as his famous Yorkshire pudding. I would sit and watch him masterfully make these amazingly high and fluffy puddings, and the gravy to put on the beef and the pudding. I wish I had asked him for his recipe for them (I know one of the secrets is to always use the same baking pan and only use it for the Yorkshire pudding).
I really have no traditions with my children for dinners – it’s mostly been casual dinners over the years. But now that I have grandchildren living near me, I’d love to start traditions with them. Something to remember me by – that and making the best chocolate chip cookies!
What traditions do you have, or you remember? I sadly think that traditions are being put aside as the world becomes more electronic. I would love to start the tradition of putting cell phones away and sitting at a table and having a chat without the distractions that surround our daily lives.

Sunday dinner was usually the best meal of the week in our house. When we had fried chicken, I would shake up the pieces with flour in a bag and put them in the skillet. That tradition ended when KFC came along.

Homemade fried chicken is so good! Yes many traditions ended when fast food became available. But it’s cheaper to make your own now – at least I think it is!
