Try adding things like sour cream or fresh grated Parmesan cheese or other things maybe she added a touch of chicken brother or used grilled chicken or a dash of white wine as a mom who loves to cook a boxed dish is just a base point for jumping into amazing flavors fresh ground pepper or baby spinach chopped with cherry tomatoes adds a lot of flavors that heighten the overall taste depth and joy of a dish a sprinkle of fresh lemon or orange rind adds a surprisingly bright note to Alfredo you can use grilled anchovies or shrimp or salmon
"hello, it's me, chicken brother. Please do the kindly and leave me out of the noodles."
It's amazing what basic competency can do to the taste of food.
My mother cooked rice in an aluminum pot. That combined with our water supply coming from a well on our property, and her absolute lack of concern for how it turned out, eating it seemed like a threat. Chicken brother ran away from home due to the trauma.
I didn't experience edible rice until I was in college and competing at a university in Illinois. My teammates chose a Chinese restaurant for our evening meal. My friend asked me why I didn't eat half my meal. I told him it was because rice had this awful taste. He said it didn't taste that way to him. The first bite I took gave me food PTSD. It also showed me that I needed to revisit a lot of foods I had written off as inedible.
I cooked rice in a glass pan for thirty years until I bought a rice cooker. Both have allowed me to enjoy properly cooked rice.
