Family Food Traditions

Every Saturday night was beans-and-hot-dogs night.  Whether we were at home with our dad or spending the night at our grandparents' home (just across town), that was the tradition.

It's a Massachusetts thing. 

My father would often include macaroni and cheese, and I liked to cut my hot dogs into pieces to mix in with the mac and cheese.  Now, I do the same - hot dogs and beans, and usually a box of macaroni and cheese to go with it when my son is here.  He just doesn't seem to have much of a taste for baked beans.  ;)

I'm very picky about the brand of baked beans we have.  Only B&M will do.  I've tried Bush's, and it just tastes too spicy.  To me, there doesn't need to be any additional flavor.  Just... baked beans.

What are your family food traditions?
