25 Depression Breakfasts Every Farm Family in the 1930s Woke Up To

My name is Evelyn Ross. My mother was at the stove in the dark with her sweater pulled on over her nightgown, and the first sound in that house every single morning of my childhood was her lifting a stove lid. She had six of us and two hired men fed before the sun ever cleared the barn roof. In this video I walk you through every one of them, the way my mama and hers made do. In this video: ✓ Buttermilk pancakes off the soda ✓ An egg fried in a hole cut out of the bread ✓ Smearcase with cream and black pepper ✓ Country ham with red eye gravy ✓ Bonny clabber with cream and a spoon of sugar ✓ Sausage put down in its own lard ✓ Fried pies out of dried apples ✓ Bacon out of our own smokehouse 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
