No One Can Cook Like MeeMaw

Most meal kit services are healthy and easy to cook. MeeMaw's Table is not one of those services.

"Once you're able to decipher her writin', you'll experience the thrill of converting MeeMaw's measurements." Reminds me of a recipe card from my grandma that lists a half-eggshell of water as an ingredient.

Next step: invite Meemaw inside to have supper with you. It's rude to just make her stand outside.

The portion size is what cracks me up. Seeing as my mother didn't have daughters, I'm the son that got all the family recipes. Imagine my surprise when, as a single guy, I discovered the recipes for Mac and Cheese, Collard Greens, and Baked Beans were 5 quarts, EACH.

When she said "cut a switch", I felt that and flinched. Lol

I kind of expected everything to be packed in Country Crock containers so you could play "which one's the margarine?" That game was always a fan favorite at Grandma's house.

I was seriously expecting a cast iron skillet to come out the box

My mom grew up on a farm in a family of 12, plus all the farm hands who were working. She learned to cook for 15 to 20 people and she never changed. Once my husband and I were going to Sunday dinner with just four of us -- me, hubby, her and Daddy. She called me to say, "I've cooked a roast but that might not be enough. I'd better fry a chicken, too." This is a true story, swear to God!

she hasn't thrown out expired ingredients since the Nixon administration XD

If my grandma could see your plate she would keep giving you more food. I learned to spread out the rice so she wouldn't see and bare spots.

The difference between a Southern Meemaw and an Italian Grandma is Southern Meemaw's ask you how your doing and all the niceties. Italian Grandma's the minute you open the door Are you hungry. I has one of each.

I love the lady that plays MeeMaw! She's one of my favorite people on this channel!

My MIL had a whole set of cupboard's dedicated to recycled plastic containers including cracked freezer containers! When she passed and we were cleaning out, I asked hubby why she kept them. He said"Mom knew what to put in them and how much so they didn't leak." 😂

Makes me miss my Mammaw. How was she able to fry a whole chicken, have two (or three) vegetables, a fruit salad, a copper-penny salad and a cake and a pie for dessert in a kitchen smaller than my bathroom and in what seemed like ten minutes? They were truly different stock.

At Nannie Nannies after your 2nd plate your rubbing your belly looking at 3 different desserts on the counter. She looks at you and says
"Y'all sick? You havent ate a bite.
She passed away at 100 years and 38 days old. May we ALL be that
Stubbornly BLESSED.

Man i wish the was a service. I miss Grandma's cooking. Nothing was better then family around the table at her place, or Mom and Dad dropping us off and spending the night and getting a massive dinner and a great happen after 2003 when she moved to NC, but childhood was fantastic. When Grandma came up to visit she always brought something. She passed in August 2019...leaving me with no more just hasn't felt the same since.

I'd give everything to have this....and a grandma watching.

My sis has turned into a Southern Meemaw. Her favorite line is "you sure you don't want more?" and then she gives you a fridge full of leftovers.

I'm a Michigan native, had never been to the South prior to 1980, when my now ex-husband and I went to KY to visit some of his (many!) aunts and uncles. It was right at lunchtime that we arrived, and being a Northerner, I expected that something simple such as soup and sandwiches, or a salad, would be lunch.
I was stunned when I saw no less than 27 different dishes on a HUGE table, and I was expected to take a heaping helping of every single dish! I was roundly chastised, though, for not being able to eat as much as the aunts believed I should be capable of putting into my stomach. It was mighty good food, and the ridiculous amounts of it appeared each meal, 3 times a day, plus huge "snacks" multiple times a day, every day that we were there. I wasn't thought of in a good way by any of my husband's relatives from that first day on, and one of the aunts said out loud in front of everyone, "Well, it looks like Joyce just isn't going to fit into this family at all (we'd already been married 7 years); she ain't got the appetite to eat Southern!"
Husband and I divorced 18 months later, though his aunts' cooking had nothing to do with that 🤔....I think.

My grandma used to put a piece of masking tape on her containers and write her name with a Sharpie to make sure she got them back.😂🤣😂🤣

[janiceharris]

OMG, margarine and cool whip containers included. Don't take it without permission though, they have them counted down to the last lid.😂😂
