I wish my mother was able to cook something besides boiled hot dogs while I was growing up. What was your mother's "specialty"?

Potatoes

I would totally that mom

Also pancakes.

Oof. My mom made a LOT of hamburger helper in the early days. She worked hard and went to school though, I don't blame her for making easy dishes, even if it all was pretty bland.

pecan pie

Hot dogs macaroni and cheese and scalloped potatoes. My Dad was a much better cook.

Some casserole of rice, corn, ground beef, and cream of mushroom. It's pretty good.

plain white rice and overcooked pork chops

She cooks a lot of things, and she's very good at it when not going overboard with salt. I'm gonna say her lasagna with bolognese sauce because it's such a comfort food to me.

Chicken, cream of mushroom soup, broccoli, and cheese casserole will be my favorite comfort food for the rest of my life. It's not really the best food ever but its just so cozy and makes me happy

Lasagna.

Don't get me wrong, it's really is pretty good, but I can only eat it so often.

Is this from an infomercial?A porn? Does the chick has so excited kind of music let problems or is she just that shit at cooking?

Your mom was just trying to prepare you for your true calling in life. A professional dicksucker called op the fag.

she has cerebral palsy

My mom was a decent cook but she had zero fucking variety. At least once a week she'd make the same meal- Shake and Bake chicken (with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and the same fucking flavor every time), instant mashed potatoes (no butter or salt), and brown n' serve rolls. To this day I refuse to eat instant mashed potatoes, they're fucking atrocious.

ITT ungrateful pieces of shit

Taquitos, empanadas, enchiladas.

Lazy days were burgers and hot dogs.

On birthdays we got spaghetti with homemade meatballs

>Does the chick has so excited kind of music let problems or is she just that shit at cooking?

She can't move her muscles like she wants to, cerebral palsy.

My mom loved to throw in some random bullshit leftover into an otherwise decent meal. "Wow good call throwing in those near-rancid cabbage leaves!" "I'd eat anything to avoid losing 44ยข!"

...

Me on the right

My mom's specialties were
> bbq brisket
>homemade corned beef
>fried fish
>homemade egg noodles with butter and a crispy topping
>cheese spatzle
>tuna pasta salad
>braised beef
>the best fried chicken I've ever had to this day
>deer sausage (hunting)

We ate a lot of beef because my dad was a cattle rancher. Everything mom made was good, because she was an excellent cook, but Dad would complain when she made chicken, turkey, or pork, because as he'd jokingly say "I don't raise chickens (etc)".

Ham, cheesy potatoes, and whatever vegetables (peas or broccoli is best with this) we had at the time.

I had to make my own food growing up. Mom was drunk. But when she did cook she made lots of tofu and glass noodles and instant ramen. Wasnt so bad.

My parents are literally the most functional people I've ever known. What's weird is that they gave biirth to two children, one is a raging malignant narcissist with sociopathic tendencies, and the other is an alcoholic with extreme panic disorder and a serious "people pleasing" complex. Wtf happened........

Its the media

Your dad sounds annoying

I come from a Mexican family and my mom is a great cook, can make some mean tamales

It was okay. German daily meals

Pupusas. That shit was and still is fantastic. And she refuses to teach me the recipe.

God damn it mom, why?

She wasn't really all that much of a cook, but I did enjoy her lasagna, and taco salad. The lasagna I learned to make for myself eventually, but every time I try to make taco salad like she did... it's just not quite right.

People will probably think this is gross or whatever, but lasagna is really good with some nice cheddar in the cheese blend. It's not traditional, but it's rad.

No, he's actually the kindest, most honestly helpful person, with the most real integrity, I've ever known. He just likes to joke around a lot, and he would say that just to get my mom's goat. But, my mom is easily irritated, so she would take it too personally. We did eat a lot of beef, though. When the meat is basically free (besides the cost of raising it), you tend to eat more of it.

I dated a girl for a long time whose dad was a cattle rancher.

From an outsiders perspective, I was jealous of her families food. Not only did they always have beef, but beef of a quality regular people just can't afford all that often. Also, their friends know this and work out trades. They also had the most badass canned tuna and smoked salmon. Shit you can't even buy without spending hundreds on a charter and tags.

>tfw my moms dead

Yeah we did trades too, but a lot of it was agricultural based, although we did get some nice fish and homemade hams as well. We also did hunting leases where for a cheap lease rate, the hunters would give us so much of the meat, sausages, etc. One guy made the best deer salami and snack sticks I've ever had.

I'm sorry user. It's rough when you lose a parent.

baked chicken, mashed potatoes and biscuits.

I must have had that meal about 5000 times.

the complete opposite of "eat a colorful plate!!!!!1" everything was a subtly different shade of beige, even the gravy that went over top everything

Yams baked in brown sugar, butter, and pineapple juice with marshmallows on top. God tier food, but that's the only good thing she ever makes and she only does it for Thanksgiving.

>tfw my mom has become more crazy and toxic in the last few years and I've had to slowly cut her off from my life

She used to cook a lot of great Vietnamese food.

You should tell your alcoholic brother to chill out and not take life so seriously.

Switch that out, bro.

Me mum used to teach home economics.

Same.
Have a dring on me, user

>carbs baked in sugar, fat, and sugar

I see why you call it god-tier

at least you had weed.

You and me both man. The crazy got to ridiculous levels.

Cornbread that was more like corn-flavored poundcake. Copious butter and sugar.

Always ate it with chili, and loved it.

chicken soup made from nothing but carton chicken stock, potatoes, carrots and onions plus a ridiculous amount of salt

the best fucking borscht in the universe

she's Veeky Forums's palsyfu

Ground beef. Gravy and mashed potatoes.
Every couple days

The only dish she made that she made that wasn't immediately out of a bag/box was lasagna. It always was super greasy and loaded with tons of cheese and such.

hot dogs sliced in half with american slices melted on them

served with KD

kys

I don't have any weird fetish...in fact, my friend's kid had cp, but...

>I love...LOVE ...her

My mom made some awesome baked chicken. I get the hardest nostalgia for it sometimes, & only she can make it right.

Goulash

Literally just macaroni, tomato sauce, ground beef, and onion.

Her specialty is soups but she can cook or bake pretty much anything.

Lasagna and shepherd's pie, breaded burgers and omelette whites with salsa.
My mom could cook though and I picked up on it soon after.
Although my mom went to the internet and read those womanly magazines where you do "fun" dishes.
Kinda gay, Id rather a steak.

I guessed right, sadly.
>Taquitos
Luckiest shit ever.

Stroganoff

>nice cheddar in the cheese blend
Oh man you could put so much cheese and meat in the different layers.
And those cheese and meat layers contains different meats and cheeses that compliment its self.

Chicken and rice
Fideo

Nightly dinner almost every night was:

-Microwaved canned green beans, no seasoning, butter or anything

-Generic Mac and Cheese made w/ water instead of milk and oil instead of butter

-Pork or chicken boiled in pot

Not enough good discipline in the household.

Lol, that's where you're wrong. My house was stricter than my friends, and if I did try to get away with something, my crazy sister was there to rat me out.
>be 15, somked a joint for the first time after marching band practice
>my friend comes home with me afterwards to wait for parents to get off work
>we watch old Looney Tunes cartoons and laugh
>my friend falls asleep
>my mom waits till parents pick friend up, and after conspiring with my sister, accuses us of SNIFFING GLUE OR HUFFING PAINT

>MFW

>boiling ZOG dogs

Rouladen, usually with red cabbage and potatoes.

The tradeoff was that she was shit at everything else.

My Mom tries hard but tends to get lazy about halfway into cooking.
>Goes through a lot of effort to find good recipes, get good ingredients etc.
>Decides partway through that most steps are "unnecessary" and ends up not using half the recipe.
>Come time to eat and she's all "Sorry this didn't really turn out like it was supposed to."
Worst part is nobody can offer any criticism because she will flip out about how ungrateful we are.

Shitty porkchops.
All she did was saute them (too long) with a covered lid. Then she deglazed the non existing font with simple cream to create "gravy".

My childhood was pretty bland.

My mom was a good cook with a wide selection of dishes to make, but once she hit 40 she became super lazy. She can still cook a good meal when she needs/wants too though. Her lasagna, meatloaf, and dumplings are fantastic. Everyone loves her keylime pie too but I can't stand that taste of it personally.

>trying to get away with disobeying your parents
>not being so instilled with fear that the thought of even doing such a thing immediately causes you to nervously sweat

Yeah nah you weren't disciplined worth shit. Maybe compared to your friends hippie parents you were.

My mom makes the best boerenkool.

Who is she?

Looks like she's got the palsy.

my mom makes a food of bland food such as unseasoned pasta salad and watery soups

but in a better hand she does great pancakes, bean stews and tripes (yes, trippe alla romana), which is kind of how to clean and make it tasty

No, just a cute girl with cerebral palsy who has a few cooking videos on her youtube channel.

All I want to know id does she have a cerebral PUSSY?!
amirite

Subtle

Mediocre

Best reviews yet, thank you internet.

I feel like its a bit silly to judge our parents to hard on their inability to cook or teach us how. We live in a food renaissance of diverseity and availability of ingredients at a time when exposure to new ethnic dishes is the highest its ever been. Our parents grew up eating the same dishes over and over made with the same ingredients. It's hard to blame them is my point. Also my moms go to was meatloaf, not a bad meatloaf in my opinion. That or fish sticks, I still secretly like fish sticks although I wouldn't really call that cooking.

>Is this from an infomercial?A porn?
>she has cerebral palsy

I love but also hate you guys

My mom couldn't cook anything, so she fed me chocolate bars.

shake n bake

What the fuck? That's the first time I've seen a random picture of my hometown on this site.

My mom makes lasagna with cottage cheese instead of ricotta, I like it

Ruining perfectly good food.
She put no love into it.
Always buying frozen shit, bangs it in the oven and waits until the timer beeps.
Doesn't check it at all, just serves it and if you complain it's always the same response "Why don't you try to cook?"

I don't know why don't you?

I think everybody's mom has a overcooked pork chop meal in her recipe book.

smother in applesauce

My mom would make this type of french bread pizza with sausage and vegetables.

Yup. HATED chops for years until I recently started making them myself. They're so fucking easy to get right too, just marinate in a bit of veggie oil with some apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne, drag through some flour and fry for a few mins.

My mom makes bread rolls from a recipe she learned in home-ec in the 70s. They're always dry and flavourless but no one has the heart to tell her they aren't good, as it's her 'signature dish' at family gatherings. She's a good cook otherwise

Canned beef stew, plain rice, and some kind of beans. The beans were an exciting variety consisting of green beans, green peas, blackeyed-peas, butter beans, corn, etc.

Similar story, except the age was 50, and no key lime pie. I feel pretty lucky, my parents made a large variety of food and forced me to eat things that I didn't like at first.

...

Fendfer. When she'd come home, walk through the kitchen, fart, cook nothing, and tell us to "fend fer' yerself."

Nothing ruins a good screen capture faster than a (You).
>lel look at this funny thing I was there for put me in the screencap xDD

kek, i was actually in that thread.
