Description
My name is Evelyn Ross. Friday nights the whole house smelled different. All week we stretched what the pantry had: beans, cornbread, potatoes in yesterday's grease.
In this video I walk you through every one of them, the way my mama and hers made do.
In this video:
✓ Hamburger steak with onion gravy
✓ Meat loaf with ketchup on top
✓ Ham hocks and butter beans
✓ Baked macaroni and cheese
✓ Short ribs braised with onions
✓ Stewing hen with rolled dumplings
✓ Chicken fried steak
✓ Pork roast with root vegetables
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.
