Great question, Barb!
Ok, just off the top of my head, I'd have to include:

Ribs, Chicken & Dressing...along with how to pick out the best ribs and cut the
chicken

Standing Rib & Pot roasts...and, maybe more importantly, The Gravy.

Doughnuts....the recipe isn't mine, exactly, it was the same one my grandma used, but
it's a family tradition!

My Green Beans- a slightly different method, steamed, then sautéed

And Pie...including crusts, fillings, toppings. I don't know if I could chose just
one, so I'd have to include the blackberry-apple streusel, chocolate cream, and
black-bottom coconut cream pies

I am sure five minutes after I click send, I'll have thought of something else or
something better ;-)
