Chef Boyardee or Speghettios were never found in my house growing up. Nope. My mom made everything from scratch. I guess this is why I'm baking for comfort during the pandemic. Lots of pasta dishes, biscuits, stews, roasts, and stuff like that. I even made pancakes yesterday from scratch. I hope you all are locked down with a chef or an old fashioned mom.
@@paull.rogers4562 No sense of humor?!? Also, my guess was that your mom was a housewife had time to be a scratch cook. My mom was a teacher and occasionally leaned on boxed Mac n Cheese, etc.,--and I wouldn't have changed a thing. She touched so many lives that she was invited to attend one of my high school reunions.
When my mom was a little girl during WWII, several certain food items were rationed. Some of her relatives, as well as my paternal grandmother, planted victory gardens.
Some the age of your mom were starving for 6 years and people were still on stamps for years after the war. Hence their hate for any waste of food, or waste of any kind for the matter. They gave us useful lessons for present time and times to come.
When you get older and you realize the things you’re mom bought for you as a kid are cheaper than regular meals and still taste as good in a pandemic it feels good to feel like a kid again. I just bought 3 Tonys pizzas and i feel like I’m 9 again
Thanks for the giggles! This was a fun episode! Chef Boyardee, one of those things on the pantry shelf for times like these. Thanks Mo. Always informative while entertaining.
ConAgra owns Chef Boyardee so unless his grandniece (who appears to be holding some little kid hostage) works for the ConAgra PR department, she has no connection to the products. And if Chef Boyardee was alive today, if he opened up a can of spaghetti and tasted it he’d probably say, “Yuck...this is going out under my name? And I used to be head chef at the Plaza Hotel!” His grandniece must have been hungry for camera time.
This feels like a rebrand ad for brands that people are buying because they can't afford fresher food right now. It's not comfort food it's compromising for the budget.
Farmer's markets have online order and scheduling for pickup now. We are also planting vegetables. We have vegan recipes to try and are making cookies.
In my 28 years of married life, I've never cooked this much. I ask my husband, "You want me to make lemon bars?, You like them, right? I have a recipe I'd like to try". To which he begs me to please.stop.cooking.
Pre-COVID 19 pandemic, I ate out ALL THE TIME. Now, I am at home, preparing my meals and cooking up a storm. I'm gonna miss all this free time I have trying new recipes in the kitchen, once we go back to normal.
During this quarantine I've made cinnamon rolls, bread rolls, and pizza. I went to the store to buy some yeast but they're all sold out everywhere. Everyone's been making bread lately.
Argghh! that stuff is awful. Dad bought a whole case of Beef-a-Roni in the 50's. We had to eat it all summer for lunch! We hated it as kids-- It was crap then and still is!
It not only gets you out of your head, kneading some bread dough keeps you from strangling someone when you’re stuck at home with them 24/7. Just sayin’.

Sorry CBS, gotta call you out on this poorly reported story. I usually enjoy if not always agree with the commentary but this one had so little fact to back the emotional doomsday pitch. Was 30 minutes spent writing/editing this copy? Or were there too many opinions in the conference room to make a coherent and rational story. Hated, yes despised, the last and most fear mongering line. Come on I know that as a collective group you can do better. I'll chalk this one up as your "Mulligan"! Please I beg you to pull yourselves up to the higher standard of calm, rational, inspirational reporting of even tough or darker subjects. I know you can do it!
