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.

We grew a lot of our food. Mostly beans, southern peas, tomatoes, squash and the like. Mom made salmon patties (croquettes if u wanna sound fancy), chicken and dumplings, cubed steak, butterbeans, fried squash, fried okra, skillet fried potatoes, cornbread/corn fritters, meatloaf sometimes. Veggie soup with potatoes, corn, lima beans and tomatoes. I miss her beef stew which had a thick gravy base; I haven’t been able to replicate it. Sunday lunch after church was always pot roast with potatoes, carrots and gravy. Dessert was a lot of jello with fruit cocktail and chess pies. Nothing fancy, just good ole southern food.
