How's it going Reader,

My mom could stretch a few simple ingredients into meals that fed all of us, and they always tasted like the best thing ever.

Half the time she was eyeballing everything, but they stuck. And I still find myself making them today!

So I thought I'd share a few of those budget-friendly recipes I grew up on.

These ones remind me of being a kid, sitting at the table, and asking for seconds before my plate was even clean. Hope you enjoy them!

​

Catch you later,

PS. If you could go back and eat ONE meal from your childhood kitchen, what would it be?
