We’re talking all the classics like baked beans, deviled eggs, blackberry cobbler, and more.

With a recipe this simple, there’s no need to buy the boxed version.

Other ingredients can be skipped or added to adapt to your taste.

Italian dressing is used to dress fresh veggies that can be scooped up with tortilla chips.

Once you see how Grandma makes it, you may never buy the bagged stuff again.

Guests can enjoy it on sandwiches, on a potato, or even by itself.

While we love our potato salad and coleslaw, this creamy macaroni salad is Grandma’s specialty.
