25 Forgotten Poor Man Suppers My Mother Made in the Depression

My name is Evelyn Ross. The best cook I ever knew kept her recipes in her hands, not on cards. She could tell by the sound of grease whether it was ready, and by the weight of dough whether it had enough flour. In this video I walk you through every one of them, the way my mama and hers made do. In this video: ✓ Sugar bread ✓ Creamed peas on toast ✓ Oatmeal for supper ✓ Drop dumplings in pot liquor ✓ Potato cakes from last night's mashed potatoes ✓ Pinto beans and cornbread ✓ Skillet apples with bread ✓ Fried mush None of this needs a fancy name or a full pantry. It only ever needed someone willing to make do. Try one of these this week. Then tell me in the comments what your own mother or grandmother made when there was not much to work with, and how she stretched it. I read every one of them. Waste nothing, and remember, the women who fed a house through hard years knew things we are only just starting to remember. # DepressionEraCooking #FrugalCooking #ComfortFood #GrandmasWisdom #OldWays #ForgottenRecipes #EvelynRoss
