That's unusual, because her family heritage is Polish, and from my experience (three of my cousins have Detroit Polish roots) that tends to be fairly tasty and flavorful.
Dishes handed down from generations past in my mom's recipe box tended to be bland, but she added some new ones along the way. There's excellent lasagna and also taco casserole I'll make for you sometime.
At any rate, so long as I've got a saltshaker and a jar of garlic powder, I can make anything palatable. (Garlic powder on oatmeal is surprisingly good.)
