What Did Our Grandmothers Cook When Money Was Tight?

What did our grandmothers cook when money was tight? Come into my kitchen and let us find out together. In this video, I share eight humble, old-fashioned meals made from plain, cheap food: a simple pot of beans, French toast from stale bread, oatmeal for supper, slow-cooked cabbage, a plain egg omelet, garlic pasta, a soft cupboard flatbread, and the big soup pot. You will also find a gentle thought about cooking for one, plus simple food safety reminders for leftovers. Pick one meal to try this week, and I hope you feel a little less alone at your own table. Always use your own judgment in the kitchen, and do what fits your life. If you enjoy warm, practical wisdom, I would be glad to have you subscribe. This video is hosted by Grandma Rosie, an illustrated character.
