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.

My parents wanted me to be self sufficient from a pretty young age, if I didn't like something I had to do it myself.
When I was older I would make dinner if I didn't like what they were planning on making, it started with a "fine YOU do it then!" But later on they liked having one less thing to do. it got to the point where they would say they're making something I didn't like without having the ingredients because neither of them wanted to cook that day.
Now I'm a chef and in a year or so, when the property I want is ready to rent, a restaurant owner.
Seems like a win win situation.
Good luck with the restaurant.
