26 Favorite Grandma Recipes

I have so many memories of my grandmother being in the kitchen as she lived with us. Grandma loved though making only a few dishes. She was Irish and, of course, adored her potatoes!! So I will be sharing with you today some of her recipes along with others in this roundup of 26 Favorite Grandma Recipes. 

We have divided them down into 4 sections for you, Breakfast, Mains, Sides and Dessert. Great comforting recipes from around the world. Fond memories of family traditions, get togethers and treats from the kitchen. I hope you enjoy this collection as much as I did putting it together for you!

Breakfast

Staying overnight at grandma’s house always meant delicious breakfasts the next morning. There is just something nostalgic about the smell of fresh baked banana bread wafting down the hallway or being woken from a deep sleep to the aromas of potato scones frying on the stove top.

Walking down the hallway to see grandma in the kitchen cooking a big breakfast is an amazing memory that can be cherished forever. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and grandmas always make sure to drive that point home.

MAINS

Dinner at grandma’s house is always an experience. Delicious homecooked meals made with the special ingredient of love always make for a happy tummy. Comfort foods ranging from classic pot roast to unstuffed cabbage rolls always seem to be on the menu as the main course.

There is just something about Sunday dinner at grandma’s house that adds excitement to any weekend. Grandma always makes sure you have had enough to eat and there is always enough for seconds, and of course, you are having seconds!!

SIDES

I can still taste the scrumptious flavour profile of Grandma’s potato salad. A classic, easy recipe but nostalgic none the less, one that I have gone on to serve to my guests at summer barbecues for several years.

From creamed corn to green beans, the side dishes are always a perfect accompaniment to the main course, leaving you feeling full and satisfied. With so many tried and true side dishes to choose from, you are bound to find one that becomes a family classic.

DESSERTS 

Is there anything better than going to grandma’s house for dessert? Visiting grandma usually means walking into a home that smells like fresh baked cakes, crisps and crumbles, brownies or cookies that immediately make your stomach rumble.

Many have memories of standing on the step stool beside grandma, helping her bake. These memories last a lifetime and are always triggered when the aroma of baked goods enter your nose. Sweet treats, sweet eats and even sweeter memories always go along with a visit to Grandma’s house.
