My mom's cooking sucks! Grandma always makes the best!-
yea -- both of my grandmothers can throw down in the kitchen : ]
my papa is a pretty good cook too! -
Grandma made the best fried chicken, mashed potatos and gravy, cornbread from scratch, and boysenberry pie! She also made homemade jelly for us!

my mom thought the height of cooking was browning some hamburger meat, adding oregano and basil (& salt & pepper) - that was italian food. if it was mexican food, she added chili powder and a tiny bit of cayenne.
if she was being fancy, she added velveeta.
with the meat dish we routinely had potatoes done in some fashion and then beans.
so, NO, i don't really even like my mother's cooking.
my other half, though ... oh man. delicious meals. drawback? she is the world's messiest cook. every dish in the house, flour all over the floor, batter and drippings down the cabinets and usually *something* makes it to the ceiling.-
maybe you should try cooking? But I love the comment about your mom's cooking because that describe me. -
meh, i can't be arsed to cook. it takes too long, it's boring, and i never get the time back that i waste cooking. hence, i buy crummy pre-made stuff.
or, if i'm totally left to my own devices, i will buy ingredients in bulk, cook one day and eat the same thing all the rest of the week (longer if i freeze it).
my other half tells me this is not a good way to eat. and, given my grasp of biology and nutrition, she's probably right, but it's what works for me. -
Hey, we think alike!

When I was living at home, I hated my mom's cooking because I feel like we are eating the same food all the time. And when she try to tempt us to eat more, she adds food coloring. Come on --- who thinks green rice is appealing? But now that I have been living on my own for over a decade, I really miss her cooking. Whenever one of us have a birthday, we gather at my parent's home for dinner.
On a daily basis, I love my husband's cooking. He used to be a messy cook because I was in charge of dishes. But when is was unemployed a while back, he was doing the cooking and the dishes. That seemed to cure him from being a messy cook. -
I prefer my own, personal chef (Boy-r-dee) -
I love my mom's cooking, but if I lived with her, I'd be the size of a small house. At least.
I took a trip home a few weeks ago, and here's what she had on the table for my best friend and me: southern fried steak, gravy, rice, macaroni and cheese, salad, biscuits, green beans and those little tiny homemade fried apple pies. I had a heart attack just looking at it. She's a southern cook and that's what she grew up with (I did too).
It's probably been 20 years since I fried anything, and food just really isn't much of a focus for us, other than to fuel up. But I really did enjoy that homemade meal. My mom's an awesome cook. Much better than I am.-
I love your mom's cooking too, Kay. Is she looking to adopt?
-
you know what i miss, being a misplaced texan?
1) good brisket
2) good, tangy, spicy bbq
3) fried okra
crap. now i'm drooling.
(i'm allergic to green beans and i hate rice, but the rest of it sounds splendid!) -
Thanks a LOT Ender, you punk. I am also a displaced Texan.
Now you have ME drooling also. I need a plate of..
Brisquet
Cornbread
Red Beans
Potato Salad (Mustard or mayo)
Green bean salad
I hope you feel the pounds add on as you are reading this!!!!!
(Go Spurs Go!!!) -
Sounds like me. Mom's food was good but so unhealthy. And she always had cookies or cake available, always! I broke the cycle. Now when we go visit I pester her to stop frying things or ask her to broil mine instead.

I think my mum's Yorkshire puddings are the best in the world.-
Your mom should be proud of you!

I'm with Asithi. When I was living at home, I hated my Mom's cooking. It felt like we had the same thing every other night, and the times she tried something new, they always had tofu or something in them.
But then I went to college...and having a home cooked meal after weeks of college food was like eating at a five star restaurant in Paris. -
yes -- she's a traditional italian that makes the BEST lasagna with homemade noodles from scratch!

It's all right. She's good at cooking meat. My brother makes excellent pastry tho -- and his pies are heavenly. -
My mom wasn't much of a cook.-
Oh!
-
Mine, either. She did make good baked chicken, but I have to say I think I've got her beat on that now (even though she passed away 3 years ago.) -
DAD - you should use your mom's cooking as inspiration for your next series of paintings!
-
-
Let's see my moms spinich & rice that looked like baby poop and the taste wasn't so great, scrambled eggs w/ BBQ sauce, potatos and beans that are so spicy no amount of drink will fix it. I prefer eating food I make.-
Wait till mummy hear this!
-
Besides being a zombie post you have some weird kind of timing on responding. My mom already knows. Nothing she hasn't heard before.
-
-
I'd have to say that I do love my mom's cooking. She makes some fantastic traditional Italian/American dishes that she learned from my grandmother. Meatballs, stuffed artichokes, sausage and peppers...YUM.-
You are so lucky!
-
-
I think I am really just finding appreciation for my mothers cooking. She was a farm girl of german heritage and the way she cooks was passed down to her - it's good but it's also heritage. -
NO NO NO NO!!!!!
My bio-mom cooked everything that would have caused heart congestion.
My Step-mom is bland and sucks
My wife...I love my wife, but...-
You have to take up cooking then!
-

My mother is an awesome cook. She's southern so everything is either fatty, sweet or salty. Her pound cake is to die for. As a freelancer I wrote a story about her pound cake. The recipe and story ended up in a book. She was very proud.
You've never eaten green beans until you've had them the way my mother cooks them. I miss her cooking. -
My Mom definitely had her specialties; spaghetti sauce, mac & cheese casserole, and could be very adventurous sometimes. She always tried to introduce us to very different foods so that we would be comfortable eating anything we were served at a friend's home or restaurant. That said, she could be a very lazy cook; I grew to really dislike any pasta/rice side dish from a pouch, and any prepared, processed meat items from the freezer. But, when she tried, she did really well & I learned a lot of my basic cooking skills from her & I turned out to be a pretty good cook, if I do say so myself. -
Why do you think I learned to do it myself? -
You want your mom to take a break?
-
-
it might be ok if she didn't burn everything!-
If it's mom's cooking, it will taste good even when burnt.
-
-
My mom wasn't much of a cook, mostly macaroni something! I started out experimenting on my own, but with work, kids, and hubby time, I ended up cooking just like her...Tho I plan on trying out some gourmet dishes when I retire. My husband is a good cook, he walks in the kitchen throws a bunch of odd stuff together and waa-laa a really tasty dish...I like his cooking, tho he thinks I am just kissin' up when I tell him that! -
I love my mom's food. Her chicken and dumplings is the best.-
Robin...where in tarnation did you pull THIS thread out of?
-
Lol, It's alive!!!!!! (I'm not here on weekends so I'm playing catch-up)
-
-
My mom is the the greatest cook of all time. If anyone else tries to claim their mom is better, they will be thrown in my blog's Flaming Nacho Pit, post-haste! -
when my mom actually cooks -- it's delicious! : ]
-
My mother and grandmother were not good cooks, just adequate. My aunt somehow got the cooking genes. I love to cook and to experiment with recipes, although I rarely have time to really pull out all of the stops. I'm adamant about cooking healthy meals at least five days a week, though. They may not be exciting, but at least we're getting our veggies, and they taste good. -
No. Dear God no. Never found a spice she liked. And meat - my Mom invented "really, really well-done". Hard to tell it had been meat. -
@captainobvious22
What you have said about your mother's cooking without spices and rendering meat so well done that it was hard to distinguish what it once had been is exactly what I would say about my mom's cooking. *LMAO*
-
I take it that you like mom's cooking!
-
-
I like my moms cooking....but my grandmother was the best! -
My mom cooks some very authentic Mexican food, home-made everything. Now my sisters are taking over and I always look forward to seeing them (in the kitchen.)
-
i like my moms food. -
Mom used to make a mean baked chicken, but she's been gone a few years now & to be honest, I think I've got her beat on baked chicken these days.
-
My mom quit cooking a few years ago. She's says she's in her '80's, has been cooking for people since her teens, and she's done with it. Who am I to argue? -
my mom makes great food, she cooks with love so love as a sweet mixes in the food. so after that every sigle bite is awsome -
My mom does not cook very well, but my mother in law is the total opposite. She is a very good cook, if you like southern, everything fried, not very healthy for you kind of food.-
Does your mom burn water like mine does? -
YEESSS!!! LOL, I forgot to type that in!!!
-

MAMA MAKE-A DA BEST A SAUCE AND SAUSAGE
-
You lucky!
-
-
I like my moms cooking all -
Of course I do. -
Well, I loved it and now I love my wife's cooking, time flies... -
You lucky!
-
-
My mom's not much of a cook, but she aces bakery stuff. Whether it's bread, sweet buns, doughnuts, or cakes, she does fantastic job. I've seen professionals who sell stuff she would be embarrassed to offer to guests. -
yes i love it -
cooking for four boys and dad on a rather tight budget, mom had to produce volume and starch cheaply, not snazzy flavors, and i will always be appreciative of that. having said that, you have no idea how good spam tastes when it's served the night after liver. she was smart that way.
-
My mother's? No.
But I did enjoy my former spouse's killer vegan quiche. Flaky whole wheat crust, mushrooms, pecans, onions, all baked together in a tofu-nutmilk medium.
Of course, now that she's dead, I've never been able to figure out the recipe. -
I love it very much..
anyway, did you know how long to cook butterball turkey?
I had the answer here
rijal28.info/how-long-to-cook-butterball-turkey/ -
Whilst she was alive, I loved it. Even now certain flavours remind of her cooking and my childhood comes flooding back.-
good for you ranist! that's a nice way to remember.
-
That's really great!
-
-
definitely! miss my mom's cooking. - prodigalson35.blogspot.com
-
obviously i do....My mom is a great cook. She cooks almost all the dishes deliciously...yummmm my mouth has started watering....... -
My mother's...um...no. When I visit her I wind up doing most of the cooking.
-
Best cook in the world! -
i am so lucky to have my mom as my mom....she is simply the best...i love her...:) -
my mom can cook better than your mom with her eyes closed!! -
he// no! My mom's a horrible cook. But she's a wonderful person -
BIG yes. She is all into the homecooked meals. i am so spoiled -
Yes Lord, my mom can cook! This is Sharon blogging but my husband Billy totally agrees.I owe everything I know about cooking to her. -
My mom's cooking is boring American. I think sugar, salt and pepper are her only spices! (her favorite flavor is vanilla, if that's any hint!) I like American but also cuisine from other parts of the world - Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Italian and German.
-
I must say that I cook way better than my mom (sorry mom, but i love you). My mom will not step outside of her box and make anything other than the same seven meals that she's always made. Not me...I like finding recipes and making different types of things from fish to chicken, to beef and pork and pastas of all kinds of variations. -
My mom makes great chicken breast enchiladas. She makes them with chicken breast specially for me. Gotta love that! -
Agh! No! My mother was a terrible cook!
I think I learned to cook in self defense!-
I think I learned to cook in self defense!
That's the funniest thing I've read in a while -
lol ... My mom is not a good cook but my husband is - yay!
-
Well, Friday, I was 7 when I started cooking! I was so short I had to push a kitchen chair up to the stove and stand on it! By the time I was ten I was baking for the family on a weekly basis. By the time I was 14 I could put full meals on the table.
I married and moved out when I was 17 years old and not once in the last 45 years have I missed her cooking!
-
-
Mmmmmm. Mom's. -
I always miss my mom's cooking. -
yes, I love my mom's cooking -
I love my Mom's cooking! No bad cooks in my family. No, I'm not one of them cooks, I'm just the one who benefits from all their hard work lol.-
You lucky!
-
-
I loved my mom's Curry rice and Okonomiyaki(Japanese Pancake) -
-
Your mom must be a great cook!
-
-
Well, both my parents cook well! lucky me xD LOL -
I love my mom cooking sooooo much. -
I moved out after turning 16, from 12 years old I cooked most of my own food. -
My mum is a great cook but I can make better gravy than her (which drives her nuts as she taught me) .. in yo face mum! lol -
I love my mom's cooking she is the best cook ever ! My favorite is her ham with the ham sauce ! -
Absolutely! One of my favorite dishes is 'nasi'. It's a dish that consist of fried rice mixed with veggies (this varies a lot, usually we have paprika) and pieces of chicken, baked chicken from the oven and lots of side dishes. Like sliced tomato's, pickled cucumbers, sliced egg, prawn/shrimp crackers and so on.
Her curry is also very tasty! and well I could go on and on ^_^ -
It depends on how she is cooking. If she is going thru the heart healthy phase then no. Cornflake oven baked chicken with garlic is so nasty. But if she is cooking normally then yes. I have tons of her recipes and all.
