Childhood Favorites...

Do you have a childhood favorite? I am speaking primarily of food here. Those things we ate mostly when we were kids, but still occasionally visit from time to time, because, they are just good. I am currently having a cream cheese and olive sandwich. Sound odd? Green olives, the standard grocery store type stuffed with pimento, sliced up and stirred into some good old Philly cream cheese. I spread mine on some miltons whole grain bread, I must say it's rather tasty! Where did this come from, I have no idea other than it is what my mother routinely made us for lunch. I began taking them to school for awhile when I was in high school, at first to the horror of my friends, only to start a new lunch trend with anyone inclined towards the flavor of olives and cream cheese. Their parents probably thought they were off their rockers, but it's not so bad for you! Not low fat, mind you, but it can safely sit in a lunch box till it's time to eat.

When you start to think about it, we have quite a few family foods that started as kid foods, that we still eat at our house. Another favorite is tomato soup and noodles, probably the poor mans spaghettio's, but my daughter, who is almost 15 still loves it. I am sure I could think of several others, but I am going to get back to eating my sandwich...
