[quote=Anonymous]Grew up in DC suburbs in the 60s and 70s. Mom was a registered dietician.  Her mom died when she was young and she was shuttled around so not sure she really grew up with any food traditions.  Dad was from the midwest and would eat anything, and had occasionally cook.  He had a speciality dish of sauerkraut and brats. lol

Mom could cook and did when I was younger as in I remember lobster, artichoke, "exotic" chicken dishes (my bf's mom was from the south and I used to complain that my mom wouldn't cook normal chicken ie fried chicken).  Anyhow, that all changed as the family grew and my dads income as a fed didn't.  We always ate at home but basic think hot dogs/hamburgers, pizza, spaghetti (which was homemade but I eventually realized it was a way to use up things/get veggies into us).  Sundays was often a more elaborate meal harkening back to when I was younger.  We never ate out.  McDonalds was our big splurge.  Also, mom was very much into portion control and there were never any left overs.[/quote]
