... So I'm snooping for recipes... Another two to add to the list... but...
OK so I am adopted to my Maternal Grandparents.. When I say mom and dad, I mean them not the.. biological parents.. When I say Grandma and Grandpa, I mean my paternal grandparents....
So, I am... A hybrid I guess.. Mom and dad are from the south.. Mom was born in Ranger Texas and dad was born in San Antonio... They moved up to North Dakota in the 80s during the first oil boom. Dad's job brought him here. Ok, so things happen and I'm born and adopted by mom and dad. My biological father is German... ... like ... My paternal side of the family is WAY German...
So to get on point.. I can eat kase knoephla, fleischkuechle, sauerbraten, kohlrouladen and kuchen to then go home and eat grits, fried chicken, steak and potatoes, pinto beans, chili, black-eyed peas and pork chops.. (Not all in one day, but you get the point..

) Mom makes savory corn bread, sometimes even puts jalapenos in it -- Grandma makes sweet corn bread... Both are great with honey and butter, Mom's is better with a sweet chow chow, Grandma's is generally served with breakfast with one exception.. I love Grandma's sweet corn bread with collard greens!
Mom has always been able to do Southern food very very well... .. When she tries to get out of her comfort zone things get... interesting... but.. I don't know what happened, one time she was making corn bread and we had more people over than normal and... She wasn't thinking and got her baking powder and baking soda mixed up.... OMG.... .... ........ we ran out of Charmin that night. That one she won't ever live down.
