Cravings!

With all pregnancies I think you have certain cravings. Mine have been all over the place and each pregnancy has been a little different. With Bubbie, I craved sweet things like candy and ice cream. With Peanut, I craved fruit, fruit and MORE fruit. With Bean, I have craved everything from fried chicken to chocolate covered raisins to coke with crushed ice! You name it, I've craved it!

The craving for the month for me is something that I hold close to my heart. My granny use to make these for me when I came to stay at her house. I don't remember Mom making them ever....and if she did, she didn't make them too often. It was always something so yummy that I only got when my Granny asked me what I wanted for a treat!

My Granny is a wonderful cook. Even Bubbie and Hubbie talk about things my Granny has made on our visits to see her and Papa. I can remember Thanksgiving and family meals with loads and loads of food and everything being so good that you couldn't fit everything on the plate!

I still smile when I think about her special spaghetti. Its kinda an "inside joke" but growing up she would make two special meals for me- spaghetti and roast beef with sides. I also use to tell Mom that Granny's spaghetti was SO special and SO good! I think I was probably 18 or 19 yrs old when I FINALLY learned her secret- it was the spaghetti sauce that she BOUGHT IN A JAR!!!! Ha! All those years I thought she had a special trick to her spaghetti and the WHOLE time it was just the jar of sauce! Boy! I felt silly, but it was so dang yummy spaghetti!

So, as I eat my yummy scotcheroos and share them with my boys, I smile and think about my childhood memories with my Granny.
