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 used to pick silver queen for my neighbor when I was a kid in Maryland. I've been looking for it for years and haven't been able to find it (I don't go back to MD).
My wife makes silver queen corn, freezes it, we have it all year long
I still do when I can find it. That’s the only thing we grew when I was growing up. We did also grow a type yellow corn that our horse and mules loved. It was just thrown into a corn crib and was hard and dried with the husks still on. Where I’m living now, you ask for silver queen and they look at you funny. Same state, different region. They have a hideous white yellow mixed hybrid here.
