Chez Nous Menu

"Who ordered the double chocolate parfait with a cherry on top?"

'I'm worried about him, he eats his vegetables, but not his dessert!'

"Be sure and eat your frozen vegetables."

'Thanksgiving's no holiday for turkeys or the women who cook them.'

"Can you turn these mashed potatoes into french fries?"

Making healthy substitutions at mealtime

"Can you reinvent the classic grilled cheese for me?"

"When it comes to turkeys, Mom, you sure know your stuff-ing."

'A hacker broke into our computer and, in an act of human kindness, deleted your mother's recipe for peppers and meat loaf.'

"All good things must come to an end...unless I use both of my giant-size super-pots."

'I'm saving some for leftovers tomorrow.'

"You're close, but you're not the record. The record for one family in one booth—all from out of state, each ordering a complete breakfast—was set in 1978, with fifteen."

"I'm stuffed. But in a good way."

"Ok, Griffin — let him see Mom’s roast!"

"Mum, why can't we just have a normal Sunday roast like other families?"

"Mother will never be able to rest on her laurels. If they're green, she'll cook them."

"Mom, Eugene picked all the peanuts off the pizza!"

'Carrot salad, carrot casserole, carrot juice, carrot cake - I want steak!'

'Your mother spent a lot of time on this meal, so wag your tail even if you don't like it.'

'For the last time, Megan, she won a blue ribbon at the Imperial Valley Fair... I mean, my hands are tied here.'

"So...that's B11, C8, F5, and A3?"

"Oh -- just scrape it off."

"I mean, he does have a point."

"Tonight, we'll be eating hot dogs with a mustard-ketchup-and-pickle purée, accompanied by peas lightly sprinkled with ketchup. Then fettuccine al dente with a ketchup sauce, followed by applesauce maison with a dollop of you know what!"

'Well - how has everyone wasted time and energy today?'

'Mom, I followed your time-honored legendary family recipe for Brussels Spout Bake with one exception - I substituted a pizza for the Brussels Sprouts.'
