My Mom cooked a meal for us a grand total of five times, since we where teenagers.
all of those times it was left overs thrown into a pot heated up with some chopped up onions to make it exotic.

Mothers who cant cook should after birth be automatically throw under a speeding train.

I fucking agree. My mom is so fucking bad at cooking. She doesn't understand the importance of variety, or when she does, she doesn't know that chopping vegetables the right way is important for texture. She's made the same fucking dinner for our family since I was born; rotisserie chicken, dumplings and broccoli. In fact, it's probably because of her stupid unhealthy ass that I took up such an interest in healthy eating. Because she doesn't know fucking shit about diet or nutrition. So thanks mom, you fucking asshole.

Did you have a nigger mom or something? My mom would have never served our family that, I think she would have killed herself before it came to that.

and most of the time we NEVER eat as a family. We just make our own food.

My Mom knows well-enough how to make good foods.

It's just that 90% of the time she's experimenting with shit instead of making dishes she knows how to make (shrimp alfredo with red wine or teriyaki chicken with a touch of habanero oil etc.)
Last time she tried making deep fried chicken which sounds easy enough, but ended up burning the outside and keeping the inside raw.

>mfw she nuked it in the microwave for five minutes after and shredded it for chicken tacos after adding more seasonings.

It was still delicious.

Same with my boyfriend, now we live together and I cook for him everyday, made him gain a lot of weight since his body isnt used to it

>> No.4380495

I feel your pain. I was raised on cereal and mac 'n' cheese (since they were pretty much the only things I knew how to make myself).

I'm pretty sure it's the reason I developed Hashimoto's disease.

Besides Thanksgiving, I can remember one, maybe two times she cooked for us. I don't blame her too much though since she was a single parent raising me and my brother, but I really do wish she had taken a class on nutrition before she decided to have kids.

But I'm really just thankful she let me live in her house.

Ha, I know that feel. I go back home for a couple of months over summer and I gain over 5 kilos.

My mom always made us a variety of healthy foods.

Although she always used potatoes as sides, never rice or some tossed salad shit, always fucking potatoes.

I hate potatoes.

>> No.4380595

My mom is a terrible cook, and unless it was burgers or pancakes my dad never cooked. So basically between takeout and my mom's cooking 50% of my intake was ground beef.

It wasn't until after I moved out that I learned that vegetables weren't icky, but I only thought so because I only ate shit from a freezer bag or can.

Sounds like someone didn't get his ass beaten when he should've when he was a kid.

My mom never cooked shit and she had shitty Franzia wine for breakfast and dinner every day. My dad only knew how to grill, but at least he tried.

>when I was around 12 I got tired of eating shitty food so I taught myself how to cook

>> No.4380646

Sorry OP but I never had that problem. My mom has worked as a cook at multiple restaurants in her lifetime so she knew what she was doing. She made tons of different delicious dishes.
spaghetti and meatballs, chicken alfredo, home made mac and cheese, cheeseburgers, schnitzel, beef stroganoff, quiche, etc.
Not to mention all the baked goods like chocolate chip cookies and banana bread.

What you're referring to as ice cream is mashed potatoes. That other stuff on the left looks like some staple ethnic mush, like ground beans and dough or something.

Hey, I didn't say she was a 5 star chef. Those were the staple foods of my childhood.

My mother is also a terrible cook but she does it enough that I can survive. It's weird, my grandmother is the master cook in this family but she never taught any of her children how to cook.
