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 make a delicious Waldorf salad…
The key is to use three different types of apples. That way you get three different flavors of apples in the salad. Not too much mayo, because you can always add some later when needed. Celery, walnuts, and very little raisins. Too many raisins can ruin the salad, because they plump up with the moisture, and then turn some of the apples brown and discolor them. Sometimes I’ll just throw a few in when I serve myself an individual serving.
This time of year you can find an apple called tango. Tango apples are my favorite apples and they’re only around in the fall. If you make a Waldorf salad with tango apples, Honeycrisp apples, and Gala apples, it’s such a wonderful sweet and tart treat! A very refreshing light salad.
Salt and pepper to taste.
(also lemon juice in the apples before you add anything else will keep them from turning brown)
