Mashed potatoes.

my favorite childhood dish is of course spaghetti which i can make soo... i'm going to go with stuffed peppers because i don't ever think i can make them as good as my mom

I've always felt that nomatter how hard you try, you just can never make something as well as your Mom!

I've done all the cooking since I was 13 because I always cooked better than her.Now she calls me and asks for my recipes,but I can never quite make gravy the way she does(most call it tomatoe,or pasta sauce) So whenever she makes spagetti she calls to tell me she'll freeze some sauce for me.YUM! Oh I could dip some italian bread in it right now!!!!!!!!!

My mother was a lousy cook but, I miss my grandmother's chicken and dumplings. My dumplings are ALMOST as good but, nothing can meet/beat Granny's.

I don't think my mother cooked food so much, she was busy working all the time.

My mum cooks the best lambsfry and bacon.When Iam home she always cooks it for me.Yummy

I love my Mum's spaghetti! (funny thing is, though, she prefers my spaghetti! )

I also miss her corned beef hash! I try to do it, but I just can't burn it the right way!

Chocolate pudding cake. I asked her how she made it not too long ago. She told me it used to come out of a box mix and then said she hasn't seen it in years. Guess I won't be having chocolate pudding cake any time soon.

Wonder if this would come anywhere close, Chris?
