I also make casseroles and his mom does not, they were a meat and potatoes kind of family. tequiero21 on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-63353 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:52:18 +0000 tequiero21 63353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ hands down he prefers his mom's cooking. i'm still in the process of learning to get better. maybe in 10 years, he'd prefer mine. but i doubt it haha. mediagirl on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-63180 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:09:43 +0000 mediagirl 63180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He likes mine more. I'm more adventurous than his mom because his dad will not eat anything different. Seriously, I made a pasta salad one day at his parents house. I put hard boiled eggs in it. His dad came in the house and said, "ugh, what's that smell?? " That's the last time I ever cook anything for him. Thankfully, my husband lives that pasta salad. :-) mrswoohoo on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-63173 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:04:32 +0000 mrswoohoo 63173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Mine. :) Except for potato salad, which I don't make because I try to avoid mayo.

His mom was more of a home maker type, and I make him do his share in the kitchen though, so he might prefer the taken care of aspect of his Moms cooking, as opposed to me who always makes him help me out. lovehoneybee on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-63150 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:21:20 +0000 lovehoneybee 63150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My MIL is a fantastic cook, but DH prefers my cooking...and so does my MIL! When I was napping on Christmas Day she was upstairs telling the family that I was the best cook/baker in the family (while she was eating her fourth slice of the red velvet cake I made). sslm on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-63091 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:55:17 +0000 sslm 63091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My MIL isn't much of a cook, DH definitely prefers my cooking! I actually just asked him if he likes her cooking better and he burst out laughing. Haha. mrs. wagon on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-63087 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:41:14 +0000 mrs. wagon 63087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My MIL was constantly feeding 3 males so her cooking is mostly about quantity and speed. It was pretty impressive to watch her churn out food. Their dinner time wasn't very formal, it was more like: "are you guys hungry?" then she'd make batch after batch of spicy pork, just refilling the same big plate in the middle of the table, before she even stopped to take a bite herself. Now, later in life, we tend to do takeout more often when we're with her, and she doesn't mind at all. I don't cook often, but when I do Rob Sr. loves it. We both do get sick of takeout. I grew up with two parents who both cooked often and a very formal dinnertime, so it's tough to compare since MIL's and my styles are so different. It is nice when Rob Sr. appreciates my cooking though. :) cyneswith on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-63084 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:35:36 +0000 cyneswith 63084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ There are a few things he suggested I get his grandma's recipe for. But both me and his grandma cook as a hobby (she could run a food blog, but she's too busy growing her own herbs in a spectacularly landscaped yard. I want to be her when I grow up.) His mom only cooked simple stuff, since she had 5 kids all with different tastes. In fact, he worked at a sandwich shop FOR the free food! He loves my cooking, provided I include enough meat, cheese, or fish. joyjoy on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-63081 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:29:08 +0000 joyjoy 63081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't even have to ask--I know DH prefers my cooking. His mom was never the greatest cook and would default to takeout whenever she could. For potlucks, she's the go-to KFC/take-out eggroll person. On the other hand, I love to cook and experiment. winniebee on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-63076 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:19:17 +0000 winniebee 63076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No question - DH prefers my MIL's cooking over mine - she is an awesome cook! I prefer her cooking to mine, too! lilteacherbee on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-63061 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:59:44 +0000 lilteacherbee 63061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Definitely! But that's okay with me because I can't cook. I seriously burn grilled cheeses. DH is the one in our relationship who loves to cook and I'm so thankful! mynoahbear on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-63058 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:54:05 +0000 mynoahbear 63058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ MIL isn't much of a cook. Neither am I but I think DH prefers my cooking. holdonforonemoreday on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-62980 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:34:08 +0000 holdonforonemoreday 62980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My MIL is a terrible cook. Everything is so bland, so he loves my cooking. I like spice and I love cookbooks, so I'm a lot more adventurous!

It's because she cooks all the typical Cantonese foods he's used to and grew up on. I don't cook any of that...Especially the Chinese green veggies. Oh well! :D Clementine on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-62971 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:27:55 +0000 Clementine 62971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I think it really depends on the dish that is being made. Some things most definitely while others not so much.

Plus, I bake and they both love that. lol BSB on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-62913 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:36:30 +0000 BSB 62913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ No, I think I'm a pretty good cook. I would never tell the MIL this but I think I'm better than her. I can cook a variety of things that I don't think she would ever try. She also tends to eat out more than to cook. abbyful on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-62910 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:35:04 +0000 abbyful 62910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH has actually told me he likes my cooking better than his mom's. His mom is a good cook, but she doesn't like things very spicy and cooks mostly traditional American food. I use lots of spices and cook a wide variety of types of food. I think we're both good cooks, just very different styles.

(Mainly because he likes it and I am not allowed in "his" kitchen). So he's kind of stuck with his own cooking.

I love my MIL, but she does not cook. We have a running joke that if I get take out for dinner, I ask him if it tastes just like him moms.

My hubs likes my food, at least that's what he says. But he most definitely prefers his mother's food. I cannot blame him though. I prefer hers too! She cooks mostly soul food- really unhealthy, rich comfort food.

She does have a few traditional Mexican recipes for rice and fideo that she has showed me how to make, but when I make them they pale in comparison to hers – so in the case of those dishes, we both prefer her cooking! Adira on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-62843 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:38:54 +0000 Adira 62843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Definitely likes his mom's cooking more than mine, and so do I! But his mom used to have a catering company and is an AMAZING cook, and I pretty much only can boil water. :P heffalump on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-62822 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:18:28 +0000 heffalump 62822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Boogs: I don't think that I can't make my food like my MIL, I refuse to! I cook like my mom taught me. So with traditional things like matzo ball soup, I cook my mom's recipe, which involves big chunks of meat and veggies. He likes small pieces like his mom does. Even though with her soup everybody always has to add salt to it no matter what, you don't have to do that with my soup. But that's part of the tradition that he enjoys I guess.

For the most part, DH likes my cooking because both of us have very similar, diverse palettes (whereas MIL cooks traditional All American dinners). He also likes spicier food than she tends to flavor her recipes. We both love her recipes, but cooked a bit more to our tastes and al dente ness... (she overcooks veggies, etc.) CarrieLouWho on "Does your hubby prefer his mother's cooking over yours?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hubby-prefer-his-mothers-cooking-over-yours#post-62775 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 13:54:46 +0000 CarrieLouWho 62775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ He definitely likes mine more.. so does my MIL! hahaha. I love to cook though and she's not a big fan :o)
