I miss my mom's chicken divan. It was so terrific and even though I use the same recipe, I can't seem to get it to taste the same. I have not been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I find that there are lots of recipes to be found that were forgotten, on www.allrecipes.com

good luck finding that special something from the past.

Remember Jell-O 1-2-3? Those parfait type things with the three distinct layers? Of course they never were quite as distinct as on the package.

Then jello cake which used to be popular and I miss. My Mom used to make a lot of the "floating island" deserts too. Marble cake was very popular also.

These were in another lifetime.

You can still enjoy them at home!! Deep fry saba (similar) to plaintain after rolling in brown sugar and it's so good and gooey!!

You're right! That's the one. We just call it banana cue coz after they're cooked they're skewered in barbecue stick.

That's because maybe you're not putting enough love into it. And by love, I mean Splenda brand imitation sugar.
