Grandma's Kitchen – Recipes and Anecdotes
If you’ve poked around this website a bit, you’ll know I was the pickiest eater. This a recipe my Grandmother never had the pleasure of seeing me enjoy. Yet I am sure she looks down on me and smiles, as I am joyfully preparing, serving and eating a side dish with onions in it.

Cranberry Salad. Perfect party food for the holiday season!
A staple side for holiday parties. Colorful, sweet and the only leftover is an empty bowl. A dirty recipe card never lies. Thanks to Jan Shollin for one of my grandmother’s favorite recipes!

My grandparents had three gardens. A community garden, a garden at my Uncle Tony’s house and the home garden behind the garage. The flower garden was my Grandmother’s domain and the vegetable gardens were my Grandfathers. With one exception, the yellow pear tomatoes. I don’t recall ever having any other fresh tomatoes from the garden.
In the house, there was always a bowl of yellow pear tomatoes. No surprise, really, as yellow was her favorite color. Yellow roses, yellow iris. The wall of her kitchen were yellow. The tablecloth on the round kitchen table at the west end of the 1950’s galley kitchen, yellow. Even my grandmother’s midcentury home was painted a soft yellow.
As much as I loved my grandmother, I am surprised my childhood favorite color wasn’t yellow. It was lilac. The other color in my grandmother’s flower garden.

This a fast boiled chocolate frosting that will frost one cake. My Grandma had innumerable frosting recipes, I could build a website just around that
