John 16:33 “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
Put God First!!! 😊

Thanks Becky. I grew up on sugared raw onion and toasted Wonderbread. Also fried baloney, hot dogs, rabbit, squirrel and catfish. My folks were shanty Irish dirt floor poor. I am ever grateful for my dear mother making creative food for 4 hungry kids. Made it to 83 so po-folks food never hurt anyone. You are blessed.
"Poor Man's Meal"?!!! My wife has had me believing it was her original gourmet concoction all these years!!! 😱😱😱
Ha ha ….
Ohhhh... I’m laughing now. You made my day. Or perhaps, it was your wife who made my day.
Lol, she rocks!
LoL 😆
That's to funny..that been around for many many years!
I'm old enough to remember Dad bringing home potatoes in 25 lb sacks. As a child I never saw them packaged any other way. I also recall that no one ever called meals like this 'poor man's food.' We just called it delicious. "Thanks Mom!"
Hello James !
Back in the 1960's we had a root cellar under the house where I grew up.
There were sacks of potatoes, cabbage, carrots, swede, and onions in there. Plus shelves full of home made pickles, jam, and fruit syrup.
My frugal mum was an exellent cook. She'd bake 4 large loafs of brown bread every other week.
This, plus mostly frozen meat, vegetables, and fish, got us through the winter.
(Wich can last for 8 months here...)
Stay safe and well.
Love from Norway 🇳🇴
@@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131 Another thing about living in the US now is that back then, produce didn't turn or go bad quite as easily as it does now. Hoping that isn't the case in Norway.
@@jamessheridan4306
Well, the supermarket vegetables are scrubbed clean, and mostly wrapped in plastic.
As a chef I find this more than just a little annoying. So I shop from market stall holders, when ever I can.
The plastic wrapped stuff prompts you to consume even potatoes within a few days.
Or they start sprouting !
Buying in bulk from your local farmer however, is a different matter. The root vegetables, leeks, and potatoes still have their dirt on. Wich keeps them fresh for much longer.
If stored in a cool and dark place.
The best chef is an empty stomach.
My friends mom used to make this…she called it “slumgulian”!
Cant burn it. Been eatin it all my 67 years. I would rather have this, the go someplace where dinner is $50.00 for three spoon fulls of food.
You are the best cook. The best person on youtube.
This is also really good with scrambled or fried eggs. In our Latino household, we used to have sliced hot dogs, diced potatoes, onions, drained leftover beans and scrambled eggs in the morning, often rolled up in tortillas. Still something I make for my family and it's so filling!
I'm sure it is delicious with eggs, but that costs more money.. Bacon would be good in it too- but that costs even more money...
This is all about a very cheap meal- its not about a good recipe
but ur recipe sounds delicioso :) (!)
Oooooh I'm gonna have to try that!
@@vaekkriinhart4347 eggs don't cost more than hotdogs and are more nutritious.
bean and potato burritos are da bomb!
Yeah potatoes and eggs go well together, secret is getting the potatoes nice and browned. You can also sort of mash potatoes up and fry them that way, the way i prefer it.
Thanks for sharing this recipe! Made this all my life, one of my comfort foods, but use kielbasa (smoked sausage) which costs about as much as hot dogs and tastes 10 times better. Usually I put the potatoes whole in the microwave, take them out when they're done (4-8 min depending on size) chop them up and fry everything together. I fry it in oil and add a little butter at the end for extra flavor, along with salt and pepper. Delicious, filling and doesn't feel "poor" at all!
Your recipes drew me in, but your messages and reassurances are what have made me a dedicated fan. This 74 yr old loves the uplifting commentary. Thank you.
Amen, Becky you are an inspiration to this 76 year old couple. We love and appreciate you, and your complete faith in GOD. Blessings from NC. 🙏❤️🇺🇸
I'm only 22 but I appreciate reading these comments and watching these videos. my grandparents grew up during the hard times of the great depression as well, and I love to hear their stories. They could tell them for days without repeating a thing.
Yall are great people. I need to visit my grandparents. They worry about me. I care about them deeply, but I get afraid of visiting because of a cousin that used to treat me bad, living in the same house. not exactly the same house, it's like 2 connected houses. I'm bad at confrontation, and it's really hard for me to build up the strength to man up and visit them anyways.
Try to go with a friend.
Support & courage.
(As well as a deterrent to your cousin.)
@@jamesmcmillian9890
.. ask God to give you the words of what to say to your grandparents..
try not to wait ..
A I’ve heard that anyone over the age of 75 are living by the grace of God..
God bless you and you can do it !!
🙏🏽💫🌷😇
I ate this so many times as a kid growing up I thought I would never eat hotdogs and potatoes again. I watched this video one time, and I’ve already got it cooking on the stove. Wonderful video and a super nice and down to earth gal!
Amen Sis...He HAS already overcome the world!! One can't truly live until he/she puts God 1st!
Thank you for such a perfect teaching of this meal & bringing the Lord to the table! God bless you and yours mightily🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'm feeling down today and your video tells me it will be okay. I so appreciate you Becky.
Amen! I recently found your channel and I love how encouraging it is and God honoring it is. May the lord bless you abundantly. I know as a younger mom in her 30s with younger kids it is such a blessing to see more seasoned women training us younger ones how to cook and clean and get through hard times and take care of our families and love Jesus. 🙏🏼
These are great! Thank you for posting the "cheap & easy" recipes. These recipes and Scriptures are exactly what we need right now.
The poor man's meal has been a strong presence for four generations now in my family. During the depression my dad would feed a family of 10 with 3 to 4 hot dogs and potatoes. When I was growing up, he made us the meal and we thought it was his original recipe and so good. He then shared with us the origins of it. I raised my children with the familiar poor Man's meal also. Now my grandson is familiar with the origins and the history of it in our family. Since he was very young, he was interested in recipes and cooking and we tried to have history through food. He has always researched recipes and made grocery list along with helping me cook. We visit many countries culture through food and last night we had a Scottish recipe. Around the world with food and through Time with the history of recipes. Thanks Becky for her bringing these recipes to light with the young people who have no idea how to stretch a dollar. In today's times, we need to teach children and grandchildren how to stretch those dollars!
That’s a wonderful family tradition. We need to remember these things.
Teach the boys how to cook and you raise men that can take care of themselves.
I cut the hot dogs in pork & beans & just fried the potatoes and onions !!
I love these heritage meals and learning how to to cook an inexpensive meal is definitely something I would love to see more of! God bless! ❤
I can't tell you how much your videos mean to me. My husband was diagnosed with dementia a year ago. No one can tell you exactly how hard it will be on you to keep them at home but we've been together 40 years and there's no way I can put him in a home, so I find myself turning to your videos for comfort not just for the cooking but for the verses you go over and the way you explain them., I can't even begin to explain to you how much it means to me I thank the Lord for being in my life and for also guiding me to you. Thank you again 💓 💖
God bless you Trisha. I know exactly how you’re feeling and what you’re going through. I’ve been in your shoes. My mother God bless her soul now was diagnosed with dementia as well and I cared for her all alone for 3 years without any offers of help from my siblings. I had many days I cried and prayed to God to help me and guide me and help me help her through this wicked illness she’s dealing with. I will keep you in my prayers and may God bless you and your family.
God bless you sweet lady. 🙏 HUGS
I'm not sure if you heard of chelation it helps get rid of toxins like metals in the brain maybe you can ask a doctor who practices that and also matcha prevents neurological diseases... just read about it too I'm new to this too Many blessings on your journey 🙏
I know how hard it is. I was a caregiver for my husband for about 26 yrs of our 36 yrs together. The last 4 months he had recieved a transplant and believe me it wasn't as easy as they may have you believe. At one point t the doctor wanted to put me in the hospital. I was completely exhausted.. I couldn't leave e him. I knew that God would carry me through. He's with Jesus now and I'm alone. Caregivers are special people. Their God's helpers. Wives that love their husband's and care for them in hard times are special earthly Angels of the Lord's. God bless you and your husband.
🙏🙏🙏💕 coming your way from Ky. I just now found her channel and I'll be watching more of her. There's a channel that has helped me get through my grief on days that its hard. You might want to try it out. It's called Tamaras Blue Chicken here on UA-cam. Her Website: tamarasbluechicken.com/. Go checkout Kiwi and his caregiver when you need loved on or a need a smile. They are from Canada. I hope you enjoy him. I know I do.
My heart goes out to you and those in the comments that are and have experienced this with a loved one. May the Lord guide and heal them completely, in Jesus name I pray. ❤
We need more Depression times recipes! It was always good wholesome food and all that is necessary to stay healthy. Cooking has gotten so complicated over the years that people have forgotten about these simple, wholesome, delicious meals. Thank you so much for reminding us and please don't stop sharing them.
I swear that is why bisquits and gravy were invented: to stretch meals with good taste. My mother's people had a very hard time during the depression. She picked cotton for 20cents a hundred weight and it took a long time to pick a hundred pounds of cotton. Grandpa had gotten his arm cut off in a lumber mill so he wasn't able to do much back then. My mother could cook more with less than anybody I ever knew. And it was so good. We need to teach this new generation about old times and how they managed to feed large families on next to nothing. A lot of grownups and kids today know nothing about managing when times get hard.
@@lindagross8112 there is nothing in the world better that biscuits and gravy!!!!!!
This woman is so wonderful may God bless her god bless America & all of us 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⭐💗🕯🙏😇🥰🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As a beginner cook, I love these simple recipes, as someone on a tight budget I love learning how to make cheap meals! Thanks, Sister.
May God bless you for sharing these things to the world in troubled times.
Food after water is the most important and comforting things there is.
I’m sitting here with a big grin on my face an near tears in my eyes. Amen and Amen. You are such a blessing. Loved the cooking instruction but you are doing so much more. You are doing God’s work!!!!
Amen!
Tater? WTF?
I was shocked at the price of hotdogs this week at our store! $4-5.00 a pack! Crazy!
And potatoes were $6.99 at my grocery store 😟
Absolutely disgusting! They should be ashamed!
What they call the "Input Costs"; meaning, animal feed the price of processing & transportation is so high.$$$ Stock up now...It's going to get even more pricey.
Bar-S meats are made in America and are usually the best priced.
@@TheBaitShoppe-CrumpTN start growing your own potatoes
Thank you for the recipes and the daily verses to strengthen our faith in this uncertain times.
Thank you, Becky, for sharing this 'poor man's meal'!! And thank you for being an encourager for us in these turbulent times. God bless you!!
You are such a blessing Becky. In conversations with my local food bank I’ve been surprised at how little many people know about throwing together an inexpensive meal from scratch. They tend to see folks preferring the highly processed “boxed meals” because they don’t know how to put single ingredients together to make an inexpensive meal. But thanks to lovely souls like yours, that situation is changed. Thank you also for your ministry providing the real food of Life.
Are you under the impression that hot dogs aren't processed? One of the absolute worst things you can put inside yourself.
@@davidvaughn9 I don’t disagree, however, if you are starving, have limited income and a family to feed, unemployed on food stamps, etc. you absolutely would eat this instead of turning your nose up at it because it’s “processed”. Look up Clara and depression cooking. This nice lady is picking up where she left off.
@@davidvaughn9 No, I am not under any such misconception and personally never eat hot dogs, bologna and many other such processed meats. Unfortunately though, we currently live in a world where a large majority of people don’t know how to put together two or three simple and basic ingredients to make a meal. The only thing they know to do is open a box of Rice-A-Roni, hamburger helper or instant Mac-n-cheese . In donating basic single ingredients to my local food shelter, I was informed that many of those items might never be taken by those in need, because they wouldn’t have a clue what to do with them. Thanks to channels like this, folks are being blessed with both knowledge to feed their family and wisdom to live a fruitful life.
@@lmowner5722 Loved watching Miss Clara! I cried when she passed. Love her recipes!
I want to thank you for being a blessing in my wife and I life, most of my family from my mother's side of things are from the Appalachians ,you sound like one of my aunts and that kitchen is like my grandmas , I'm 60 now but sure miss all that, God bless you and your family
In Swedish it's called 'Pytt i panna' or 'small pieces in a pan'. Put a fried egg, over-easy on top and you're living the good life.
Poor man’s meal or not, it looks yummy!! I might use a jalapeño cheddar sausage instead, though. 😃
People like you give me hope, prayer and a meal 🙏 doesn't get much better than that
Becky, Thanks for sharing budget meals and budget shopping tips during this time of crazy inflated food prices! There are plenty of viewers who can use all the low cost ideas we can get.
Love that I'm being fed two ways.. awesome word.. and good meal.. thank you Miss Becky.. and grace and peace to you and yours in Jesus name 🙏✝️🙏 God bless!
Ever since the price of bread and flour went up I started making my own sour dough. Sour bread is THE traditional bread in my country so everytime I want something to eat I pull out a dollop and bake it. Potatoes, hot dogs/sausages and gravy has always been my go to cheap meal. I was raised in a British household so we call it Bangers & Mash 😂
Thanks for this! Gonna be eating it a lot cause I'm poor af
We Scots call this a fry. At the end of the week, you take all your leftovers, scraps, parts, pieces, a few extras, and whatever you fancy from the fridge and cupboard, and fry it all up with tatties (potatos) and butter. Makes for a hell of a tasty meal, which is a blessing as we had to eat it for a least a day, maybe two hahaha.
Oh, the good times.
My momma made a version of this. I’m going to make it this weekend. Thanks Becky
I've made this twice since I first saw this video, and we love it! I made it for lunch on Sunday after church, and it didn't take long to cook. I just heated up a jar of green beans to go with it. I can see lots of potential for different meats, and maybe different veggies.
Just made this the other night! I thought I was the only one that did this. I also put hot dogs in scrambled eggs. Yum.
That actually sounds delicious
hotdogs in kraft dinner hits close to my heart. mom would cook that when times were tough
Eggy with weenies
@@quipher Macaroni and cheese with weenie
Hubby and I lived off that during a tough time. I also tore up bread and fried it in with the potatoes and hotdogs. Its still yummy! Thanks for sharing! ❤
I eat this poor man's meal even when I'm not poor!! It's delicious!!
I love making this but I add 15 bean soup mix to it after cooking the beans all day in a crook pot. It lasts a long time and is simple but delicious. I love your channel.
Please provide us with more of these poor man meals greatly appreciated
Fed 5 people for $7 on this and still had left overs! I loved your comment about the metal spatula! I use my heavy duty metal spatula in my cast iron too! 😂
Why was the metal spatula and skillet made obsolete? What was the purpose behind it?
People can’t season a damn pan to save their lives.
Yes, please Becky....would love more of these type of meals! I'm sure I've had a few in my lifetime, and that's ok. 🥰
Just live this woman's videos. Thank you !!!!!
She is precious no doubt about it.
You should do another cook book with all these money saving recipes…I have your first and love it! I think it’s time for another!
A friend of mine was telling me about this dish his mom used to make called “weenie stew”. It’s basically the same, but I think she added a bit of tomato paste she had on hand. As is usually the case, the kids didn’t find out till decades later that this was a struggle dish.
Cooked with love
my mom used to make something similar to what sounds like a weenie stew. Cook some taters to make potato soup. Fry some cut up potatoes, onion and spam or hot dogs in a pan, add that to the soup/stew + a can of beans and some cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with a nice piece of bread. You might wanna leave anything tomato like out though. Makes it taste to sweet and destroys the savory part of this meal
@@mercuryfalconog I can afford more but at least once a week I have potato soup. Potatoes, onion, celery with milk and a little butter. Very cheap.
These are the kinds of meals that I grew up on - simple, yet filling and so good. Please keep sharing them. Thank you! God bless!
Me too! With some bread and butter it was a feast
ever had a head of lettuce for a morning snack/ meal bc mom was sleepin? :)
lol wtf
We make it often - my kids love it - and I've always added a little water to make a "gravy" as it cooked. We've also added frozen corn or frozen green beans just to make it different now and again.
Many thanks for sharing, may God bless you 💗
I love the recipes from my childhood and this was one of them. I remember once, I asked mama if she would fix me a steak, she handed me a piece of bologna. I said this ain't steak. Mama said sure it is, it's poor man's steak lol. I miss those times.
Love this, when I was little, the slightly-fancier version was one of our special treat meals-- kielbasa, those Hillshire farm big circle link looking ones, and sometimes we'd even get store bought potatoes obrien for the potato.
I grew up on this meal. Still eat it.
This is a great comfort meal! The other one we did a fair bit was adding a can of tuna to some mac and cheese. Momma would had something we had put up...some corn was my favorite
She’s the only cook on here that literally covers everything and thinks of everything. She’s spot on about the onion if you cut it big kids not eating it lol
My mom made this meal adding a can of stewed tomatoes,we never knew we were poor
This meal was a staple when I grew up!!! I LOVE money saving meals!!! Thanks for sharing.
That was wonderful! I remember my mama cooking meals like this for us when I was little.
Please continue your cooking series :)
Thank you Ms.Becky for sharing this please do more meals like this..This brought back fond memories of my childhood and my mom being a single mother she made this..God bless you and your family..💕🙏
God bless all the way from the land of Oz, thank you for your recipes. Well done from a person a disability pension who is on a budget and it really helps me.
Love your recipes Becky. I'm going to try this within the next few days. I want to use polish sausage in place of the hot dogs. Love cooking with my iron skillet too. You are the best. God bless you and thank you.
My mom has made this meal for me before. Absolutely love it, country cooking is so good.
Half of the great food in the world was created by the poor using cheap ingredients. BBQ? Hush Puppies?
Thank you! This is a great budget streching meal. I think I would put Cole Slaw with it. I, too, am praying for us all and our country.
I also love reading the comments here and the Bible lesson from you each time. Thanks for all you do!❤
I can't even tell you the times I've eaten this meal. My 2 sons love this so much too, I put eggs in mine just to make it go a little further.
Thank you Becky you give us recipes we can use in everyday life. This is definitely a recipe I will use over and over again. Thank you
I’m so glad I found you! Keep them coming! ❤️❤️
Hey Becky, this is a favorite of our two sons who are adults now, and they still love it. We add corn to it and chili powder. My husband cooks for the two of us, and it is a regular in his repertoire. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing affordable meals and God's love. 🙂
Thanks, Becky, for sharing so generously with us. May God bless you. You're airways in my thoughts and prayers 🙏
BTW, I love this recipes. You can never go wrong with fried potatoes and onions.
This type of meal brings me back to my childhood. We didn’t have an option of eating any other way until we went in to town to see Grandma ❤️ Grandma’s universally seem to want to spoil the youngins from my personal observation, and somehow grandmas make everything perfect in all ways, in food and in life in general.
Sorry I lost track of the topic while reminiscing in my head. Point is that this meal and many simple recipes like this are what will sustain you and at the same time be delicious!! I love to cook, and while I may go a little more extravagant at times, I always hold the basics close at heart and will still not hesitate to cook some rice and bean with salt and pepper. Most of us that are true old timers will add a little bacon grease that we collect in a jar over time 😂🤣 I would not call myself a religious man but in my heart and actions I do feel that I spread good will and generosity. I practice patience, understanding and empathy. I give all that I can any time I can. “The Ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge.” etc. Thank you for your video and I appreciate you!! ❤️
Love this, Becky. All of it.. the meal and your message.
Thank you for sharing, I to think this kind of cooking is important in these tough times.I made a 7 layer casserole yesterday. It was delicious, and very little money. God bless you.
5 Star Dining Doesn't Always Mean 3 Digit Plus Prices !!!!!!!!
This was a staple in our family, as my father was an enlisted man in Navy when I was a kid and the income was small. Great meal when mixed with mustard and ketchup sauce.
u just grossed out 90% of ppl here, but I get it.
It works
@Kurt M. Tell me, do you put ketchup or mustard on your hotdog? How about your french fries, ketchup or mustard?
I consider myself a pretty above average cook weather in good times and bad times I will still make this for myself quite occasionally with eggs…
I absolutely love it!!!💯
I love this meal! I first found this on Clara's Great Depression Cooking channel. The only difference is she added a little bit of tomato sauce.
I think there must be a version of this dish everywhere. My Danish husband grew up with their version called Svensk Polse. They use a certain sausage which is a kind of hot dog. It's basically the same though. So delicious!
@ Jennifer Jensen… I love Clara’s Great Depression Cooking channel! She really knew hoed to stretch a meal!
Grandma Feral is a nice channel too. They do some depression era recipes.
My family told me stories about their life back in the 20's and 30's and your example of getting the most for your money is alot like theirs.
Thank you Becky. Enjoy your recipes so much. I guess we could also use bacon instead of hotdog and perhaps add some chopped cabbage 💁♀️
I buy the big cans of baked beans when they’re on sale, keep them stocked in my pantry. Then slice hotdogs, brown them in bacon grease (from my bacon dripping jar I keep in the fridge) bc my husband & son love bacon. Then put them in the can of baked beans, add brown sugar if needed. I buy boxed Jiffy cornbread in 6 packs for a couple $s. I make sweet muffins with brown sugar, homemade vanilla, & add melted butter to the mix. It’s quick & filling & cheap.
This is good, easy and economical. I live with my stepfather who was raised in Missouri and Arkansas. He was raised on this kind of food, I know he will like this as a breakfast. Thank you the great idea and please do continue to add this type of recipes. 🙏🌵🐕😊
I grew up on this I love it and can eat it all day long and still do
This has always been a favorite meal at home now and when I was growing up. Try using Vienna Sausage instead of hotdogs. Really good! New to your channel. Love it!
You are right Becky we need to show people how strong our faith is because God is greater.
This looks good...I raised a family in the 70's so am well acquainted with this kind of meal, and I watched my mother and grandmother struggle prior to that..it taught me to be frugal and to prepare for the future and my old age..... I learned a lot from both of them b/c they'd lived through the Great Depression and WW2..gram lived through WW1 as well...they knew how to stretch a dollar...........Five pounds of potatoes here in east TN is $3.50; worse, egg noodles were $2.00 for a one pound bag..if potatoes cost that much a 5 pound bag would be $10!! I didn't buy the egg noodles, b/c the price is insane...Aldi has egg noodles cheaper but theirs have a funky taste I can not abide and I'm not a picky eater either....LOVE most everything at Aldi, but there are a few things that taste off to me...besides their brand of noodles, their english muffins and their flour have that same funky taste. Aldi has been out of a lot of stuff lately...so has Walmart which is just across the street...the reg grocery stores are almost unaffordable except for their specials...God deliver us of the insanity and the insane people making this happen b/c of their bad policy.
what else can u tell me about Aldis?
I know you probably already know this-- but-- sign up for the promotional flyers for your neighborhood stores, and stock up on noodles when they're on sale. Sometimes they'll have a "ten for ten dollars" sale, and most folks just see the on sale sign but don't buy ten. If you over-buy when it's on sale, you can coast through when it's over-priced.
I like this sort of food you can adjust it to make it hot if you like I cook things like this a lot
Dollar store has lots of stuff n barely anyone shops there
Yes, please keep adding these types of videos ❤
I just found you on UA-cam. I appreciate your recipes, but mostly I love that you stress putting God first. That is so important now. I would definitely like to see more recipes on cheap food. Thank you again.
Adding sliced/chopped fresh cabbage really extends this dish, doesn’t effect the taste, and boosts nutrition. We love it! Can use any meat. A good way to stretch 1/2 lb ground beef to feed 6 people.
I appreciate the Christian words of encouragement that you put in your videos. We seem to be from similar economic and Christian backgrounds and somewhat similar in age. I live alone most of the time and it's nice to hear another person sharing similar thoughts on the scripture.
I LOVE potatoes any way. 😋
My grandmother used to cook this with smoked sausage. It was the best! Thanks for bringing this memory back. :)
So happy to share good food and great scripture with you.
I made one of your meals the other day. Cost me 3.00 and it lasted for 3 days. Thank you for the videos, it's really helping me
First time seeing your channel and I love it. I am subscribed and hit like. More inexpensive meals will be great. God will take care of us.
We always had cabbage with this recipe. Cornbread on the side made a delicious meal.
I love this dish. And also the Bible verse. Amen sister and thank you
Thank you for this. Your words are always very comforting. I love your recipes and they have all been winners with my three boys.
I’ve made this but, I added a can of diced tomatoes and a can of white beans and paired it with cornbread. It stretched it so it lasted a few days so it is a great meal. Be happy with leftovers because some people have nothing. 🙏🏼💕
I think I need to come down south and look for a good Christian woman... people like you are hard to find in California... may the Lord bless and protect you my sister!
Amen, Love that you talk about the Lord, He’s is all things, he will never leave us are forsake us, Know he’s in control, and remember if he’s with you, Who can be against you Amen
My mom and dad survived the Depression and the War Years past 1945. If anything we can learn from it, God still provides!
Love the cheap meals you've been showing. With the way the world is right now everyone needs all the help they can get in taking care of themselves and their families. I know what it's like to have done without, family didn't have money but we were lucky that my uncle always had a huge garden on the farm. I was a single mum from the time my kids were 9 and 5, it was not easy. Now my husband and I are both retired and pensions only go so far. So thank you for reminding me of things my mum used to make (farm wife before I was born, parents grew up through the Depression and WW2), nothing pricey but we never went hungry.
I love this meal. My mom made it when I was small. Thank you for showing me how to make it.
Brings back great memories.
We used to eat mayonnaise and tomato sandwiches mom used to put sliced bread in the oven with butter cinnamon sugar thank you so much for sharing Lord bless you all
