Favorite food dishes from childhood

[candy_coated_bitch]

I totally forgot about that Chefboyardee pizza box!!! Me and my mom and my sister used to make that all the time. What a walk down memory lane.

Neither of my parents were always the best cooks when I was a kid, but they tried and oddly have both become excellent cooks these days.

Some childhood faves:
-macaroni and cheese out of a box with chopped up hot dogs (my Dad made this on his nights to take care of us)

-fish sticks and French fries

-homemade mac and cheese with toasted Italian bread crumbs on top (still a major adult comfort food)

-my gram's homemade spaghetti sauce with meatballs or Italian sausage

-grilled cheese (also still a major comfort food)

-mashed potatoes with gravy

-Steak-ums (OMG the most horrifying fucking food EVER that I would never eat now, but loved as a kid. Does anyone else remember these?)

-Beef Stronganoff Hamburger Helper

-Cheeseburgers and French fries (I also loved the Friendly's kids meal with the happy ending sundae)

-fresh strawberries and peaches

-Lipton chicken noodle soup

-homemade Old El Paso beef tacos (my sister and I used to fight over who grated the cheese LOL)
