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.

Grew up in a family full of commercial fishermen, so we always had seafood to eat. Would trade with extended family that had farms for beef/chicken/vegetables. Had lobster so often as a kid that I can't eat it anymore. White people problems. I probably have mercury poisoning. We never had any desserts or sweet stuff. If we wanted something sweet, my mom would butter some bread and then sprinkle sugar on top and tell us to take it and go away. I guess it's technically a dessert, since it contains flour, sugar and fat.
