Traditional Family Meals

So all I blog about is food because it means that much to me.  It really does.  Last night I made Swedish meatballs.  We’ve been eating that dish for decades in my family.  I remember vividly my mom using the McCormick pouch.  It used to be two different pouches of mix, one for meat, one for the sauce, like savory Fun Dip without the candy stick, but now it’s one pouch.  It’s still consistently delicious as it was then.  Mom always always served a vegetable.  For Swedish meatballs it was usually canned green beans.  It was cheap and readily available then.  She still serves canned green beans.  Times are better, but now it’s more about tradition.  I like to steam a medley of cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots in the microwave and add melted butter and Mrs. Dash.  My man has been crazy for sprouts lately, so we have them a lot too.
