My family was poor, but my mom always had a hot meal for dinner, anything from fried bologna and eggs, spam and eggs, meatloaf, greenbeans and mashed taters, and on Fridays it was always bread pudding made from the leftover bread from the past week. Please list your cheap but delicious meals your mom served you. As the economy falters many of us will be serving those tasty meals of the past.

I had a similar childhood, I didn’t realize we were poor until years later. I wouldn’t trade those times for anything, I believe that upbringing has been a huge advantage in my life. Also has to be the reason me and all my brothers and sisters became good scratch cooks.
