What does (or did) your Mother cook the best? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice · 07-22-2006, 11:54 AM

My mother cooked the best roast beef dinners ever. Cooked perfectly with homemade gravy, mashed potatoes, fresh green beans, corn and bisquits. As adults, she would cook this dinner for our birthdays.

She also made the most delicious Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixins', the best that I've ever had and probably ever will have.

Her strawberry shortcake was to die for. She used an angel food cake ring, homemade whipped cream, and a big tub of those frozen strawberries.

She made the best homemade Chilli in the world. That's one dish I really miss. She also made great potato salad and Banana pudding. All the Holiday dinners were always so good. She hated cooking but she was a great cook. I regret I never got any of her recipes.

she makes the best pasta EVER cause she doesnt buy the sauce or meatballs, she actually cooks them. and she also makes good chicken cutlets...and tacos

My mother was never the best cook in the world, but she did make a good pot of sauce. I think all Italians will know what I speak of.

Brieannas21 · 07-22-2006, 01:40 PM

My mom can make the best homemade Chicken & Dumplings, Chocolate pie, Beef Stew ever.

My mom makes the BEST meatloaf. I don't know what she does to it, but it always ends up tasting moist and soooo good

Seriously though, my mother makes everything good. She makes the best calzones and chicken marsala too.

Chicken-Ritz casserole! Yummmmmmmmm...

My mother made the best beef stew I ever tasted, and man was it tasty. Dip bread in the gravy and when my mother made it, you smelled it down the block.

For desert, I can still taste her bread pudding. Clogged up the arteries but out of this world.

My mom makes stuff, but nothing jumps out to me as the best. My dad, however, makes the greatest, spiciest, most delicious Dear Meat Chili(TM)

Everytime he makes it, it's usually for a chili cookoff or a chili tasting contest. I get a good 3 bowls before everyone eats it, though.

My mom used to make very good macaroni. She made her own gravy. Now I cook macaroni, but I use Prego gravy (which tastes quite good).

My dad also cooked a lot. Not sure what his specialty was.

swedeace · 07-22-2006, 04:40 PM

Mmmm.... my mom makes really tasty meatloaf, potato salad, green chile stew, and red chile enchiladas! And I'm sure there's more, but I can't list everything. The list would be too long.
