Unfortunately, my parents were big fans of convenience foods. Didn't learn to cook from scratch until I was out on my own.
ETA: now that I think about it, when she had the time, Mom made a killer chicken and dumplings

Sounds like Sunday dinner at MaMa's! Yes to all of that except collard greens.
And I'll add my mom's biscuits and gravy, MaMa's homemade wild blackberry cobbler, MaMa's guinea hen dressing, my aunt's homemade hot pickles, and her peanut brittle.
OH, and my mom's homemade ice cream - vanilly and peach were my favorites.

Come from a Cajun family, so mostly Cajun food.
That's still my preference.
