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.

Me! My mom raised 3 boys and a girl alone. My father ( if you call him that) was a drunk and left her for another woman. He lived in a beautiful home while we had to move to the projects. No child support, didn't even take us ever. My mom at times worked 3 jobs literally. Our clothes came mostly from Goodwill. Christmases /Birthdays were very light. We never knew if the phone would work from day to day. But she always managed to have a dinner on the table, food in the fridge and kept a roof on our heads. My mom was and will always be my hero!! I wish I could've said the same thing about my dad. Good dad's are such a blessing and so important to a child.
