Whats your favorite home cooked meal!

Bun cha gio - Noodles w/ fresh herbs, greens, veggies, eggrolls, and nuoc mam/fish sauce.
 
we never eat homecooked meals here. it really sucks.

But my favorite things to make are red beans & rice and jambalaya. love me some cajun foods.
 
Sushi! It's expensive to make, but worth it every time <3
 
My mom always makes really good enchiladas! She doesn’t make them much anymore but they’ll always be my favorite <3
 
I love my mom's macaroni and cheese. She makes the baked casserole kind. She's given me the recipe and I tried to make it, but I literally cannot cook anything right.
 
I usually cook all our meals even if they are pretty average lol but my favourite is fried chicken sandwiches or a thanksgiving style turkey dinner. Both take a lot of effort though.
 
i cook up a damn mean plate of kimchi fried rice. dm me for recipe. or maybe not lol
 
Chicken & Dumplings; my mother figured out how to make the dumplings big and SUPER soft, and I'm in love. (And probably gaining more weight thinking about it)
 
My parents have 0 cooking skills so we always ate at restaurants. As a result, my 'home-cooked meals' are probably my favourite dishes at restaurants 😅 For example, there was this seafood fettucine at Pizza Hut...
 
my dad did all the cooking when i was growing up and he def wouldn't win any cookery awards, but made a damn good lasagne. now i'm grown up and left home, but i use a vegetarian version of his recipe when i've got the time, and it's soooo good 🤤
 
when my mom makes bratwursts and cucumber salad... so summery. she pan coats the brats in flour and pan fries them in a cast iron skillet. and i dont know what she does to the cucumbers, but they are SO GOOD. ive been eating the meal since i was super super little, and its always been my favorite! deffs a comfort food
also spatzle rocks. she makes them with beef and this delicious savory gravy 🤤 the frustrating part about it though is that she doesnt have a recipe for the gravy!! she makes a different one every time. just makes it up as she goes along. and its always delicious! i dont know how my mom does it lol i swear shes a magic chef or smth

oo oo and also she makes really good strudels. i remember when i was little, in elementary school, i would come home and there would always be fresh plum strudel.... god its nostalgic lol. i wish she would make it again but apparently the recipe uses a specific type of plum that is hard to find out of season. forget the name of it.
 
i absolutely love gumbo as well.. personally i love my gumbo to be a soup... i love a great soup thats full of herbs and vegetables with a strong broth thats like a gravy and if its nice and hot and got that spice that makes my nose run thats the greatest! I dont even care if it doesnt taste good.. veggie soup is good medicine
 
I really like when my Mom makes pork butt, especially if it's from Boston Market. As an adult it has come to me calling my Mom making sure if I am doing something right.
 
I really like cooking popcorn chicken along with sauteed green beans and mushrooms with oyster sauce. The other home cooked meal I like to cook is Filipino Chicken Adobo, a dish from The Philippines.
 
My parents' homemade 3 cheese mac is my favourite meal they make!!
I also love their spaghetti sauce. I haven't tasted one I liked more than that one!
