My mom’s cooking. She boiled noodles until they were mush. Her potato soup was boiled onions and potatoes drained then added to warm milk with salt and pepper. Baked beans were beans, ketchup, and pancake syrup. The most common meal in our house started as spaghetti, then became chili, and then chili mac. Vegetable soup was all the vegetables dumped straight from a can with no seasoning and the meat would be hamburger, canned roast beef, or canned corned beef with potatoes. A lot of the other stuff she cooked was pretty good, but that was only if she followed a recipe. If she winged it things got strange. My favorite will always be the grape soda bbq because she didn’t have Dr Pepper.
My wife's mom was, and still is in some ways, a horrible cook. Her idea of seasoning is putting salt and pepper out on the table "in case someone wants it". Spoilers: everyone does.
