    I grew up in the 70's and 80's in New York on Kellogs cornflakes with bananas, Cheerios, juicy juice brand juice, milk, macaroni elbows, spaghetti noodles, flour, sugar, apple sauce, peanut butter, butter, cheese, eggs, bread, rice, dried beans and peas, corn beef, bologna, hot dogs, corn beef hash, tuna, canned vegetables, etc.
    We got it from wic and the different church pantries. I didn't even realize we were poor until I got older.
    There were so many food programs to gather food from, so we ate every night and my mom kept our home clean. God kept us over the years and I'm so grateful.🙏🏾💯❤️

One night our lights had got cut off and I crept out of my room after one of those prayer dinners because I heard weird noises, and it was my mother at the kitchen table crying her eyes out. Which eventually made me start crying. She doesn’t know that story because I didn’t let her know I was there. But we’re good now. Really good. My brother graduated college with his MBA.

    I didn't struggle as a kid. I struggled as an adult. I didn't have my first struggle meal till I was about 24 or 25 and it was some rice jumbo stuff I threw together. I had left over packets of cheese powder from boxes of macaroni and cheese cause I hated powder cheese, some cans of ground turkey (I don't know where it came from) and and some peas. I threw that together. My kids thought I was a damn chef they loved it. I don't even think till this day they knew we was struggling. Cause they kept asking me to make that stuff but I had forgot exactly how I did it so it didn't come out the same the second time.

    Sometimes we would have beef or sausage or pork in the red beans (served as a seasoning) but otherwise, it was just the red beans alone,
    seasoned and cooked for hours smelled the entire neighborhood up everyone around us, knew, we were cooking red beans, cua,
    red beans has the same smell no matter how or where u cook it. WOW 🍲🍲
