Do you ever miss your mother's cooking?

[addicted_to_WDW]

No way. My mom was one cool chick, but one baaaaad cook!

I miss her fried chicken with gravy, her lima bean soup. Fortunately, I can make all of her other recipes. My dad has told me that my stuffed cabbage taste better than hers.

ALWAYS! Every Sunday and every holiday. Although dad did a lot of cooking on Sundays. Mom did it through the week.

I'm lucky because my Mom lives next door and invites us up every other week for a dinner of MY choice!!!

My mother always made a dish for me called marinated carrots. I love this. She passed away about 4 1/2 years ago. My step mother tries to make this for me all the time. Hers is good, but it just isn't my mom's! I also miss my mother trying out a new recipe! She did this constantly!

Yes, most definitely. Both my parents were italian and were both very good cooks. My mom came from a family of 10 girls and one boy (grandparents were from italy) and she was the BEST cook of the bunch inarguably--so you know she was good! I wish I had some of her recipes, but most were never written down. I've duplicated but never came close to how she cooked certain things! Sure do miss that homemade pasta.........

Oh yes! I miss her homemade Chicken Noodle Soup, Ham & Cabbage, and Thanksgiving dinner!

My mother lives nearby, so she cooks for me quite often. I’ve written a couple of her ‘recipes’ down, but it’s not easy because she just kind of puts things together…”maybe I’ll add a little”…”it looks like it could use some more”. I think I really should try making them myself to see how they turn out. While I think everything my mother makes is pretty good, I especially love her Slumgullion (that’s what she calls it). It’s really just hamburger, potatoes, peas, and a little onion, but I can’t get enough.

Yes, very much on every holiday. She's still alive, but living in Mexico, LOL, so I don't get to see her much. I can duplicate most of her recipes, but it's just so much nicer having your mom cook for you.

She never enjoyed cooking, so I basically grew up on macaroni and cheese, meatloaf, and Chef Boyaredee!!
Grandma (Mom's Mother) on the other hand, was an excellent cook and I DO miss HER cooking!! She always made a huge breakfast when we stayed with them, then it seemed like just as soon as the breakfast dishes were done she started in on a big dinner, then when dinner dishes were done, she started on supper. I could never understand how she had time for anything else, she was ALWAYS cooking and baking.

Oh boy, do I miss her cooking but, mostly all her variety/ideas for meals!! After almost 5 years stay-at-home, I've run out of anything original OR copied. And, what I copy of hers is hardly Ever the same. The only (recent) exception to that was, ham casserole. Couldn't believe it tasted like hers, just like I remember.

We have some fave childhood meals ~ Dunky Dunk (pork chops w/soy sauce), chicken & rice (baked w/3 soups) and, bisquick chicken. Some other fave meals, more special foods than cooked meals ~ Skirt steak and, luxembourg sausage.

I'm getting hungry!!

There's hope for my hunger yet ~ Mom's having T-Day and Christmas!! WooHOOOOOOO!!

her Slumgullion (that’s what she calls it).

Diane, this cracked me up!! We had something called slumgooey!! Honestly!! It was beef and egg noodles and tomato sauce, green peppers & onions, if she had them. Guess this was 'easy night' for Mom's, huh?! That's toooo funny!!

Nope! Over cooked pasta and sloppy veg isnt good!!
