My mom’s fried potatoes. I kept trying to make them on my own and they always turned out soft and greasy, not crispy and brown like hers.

My mother made homemade perogis (spelling?). I just loved them, especially with sour cream. That is what I always wanted my mother to cook when I went back home.

Biscuits and sausage gravy, chipped beef on toast, fried bread, buckwheat cakes. Breakfast things.

As I was thinking about this subject last evening, I realized that my husband has made all of these dishes for me within the past couple of weeks. It’s especially nice because I only see my mother once a year, and she can’t cook any longer. My home cooking comes from a different home now, but it still has all of the foods that make it home.

Both my parents can’t cook, well they cook but the results are err not great, so coming back home was never about comfort food.

My mom’s turkey pot pies. She made them individually sized and froze them by the dozen. I haven’t had one in years. Also her seafood chowder. I always steal preserves from her – used to include jams but now is just pickles and homemade relish. And pie. I usually want strawberry or coconut cream but I’ll take whatever she’ll make. Biscuits because hers are always better than mine.

She always wants me to make lasagna. Whenever she comes to visit me I’ll make her lasagna but she needs to make me pie.

At first I was a vegetarian so when I came home from college, there wasn’t much. Although my mom did make an awesome vegetarian stuffing that was cooked outside the bird. Also Better than Sex Salad. That stuff was/is so good.

After I was married and started eating meat, it was Chicken with Mandarin Oranges and Almonds served with broccoli and cheese (not cheddar but melted velveeta) on the side. I finally made the chicken recipe myself this past month.
