Were your parents good cooks?

My mom was queen of the boxed, frozen and canned foods. If she made anything else it was kinda bland. Mrs. Dash was her jam. She's gotten better over the years. This is the woman who invented mashed potato sandwiches made with instant mashed potatoes, canned chicken gravy and white bread and kraft singles. I loved those things

My Dad was not. He didn't grill either. The only thing he made was some concoction passed off as chicken soup. It was pretty much a greasy mess, and one time I got sick after eating it and couldn't touch it again.

My Mother was average. Usually meat and potatoes kind of fare. Not much for experimentation, and seasoning was basically salt and pepper. But hey, there was always food an the table.
