I’m glad you like listening and watching Clara as much as I do. This episode of “Depression Cooking” is all about making what Clara calls a Poorman’s Meal. It’s a simple meal of potatoes, onions and hot dogs that sounds like a great kid-pleaser. We’re going to have this for lunch later this afternoon.

Can you believe Clara had to leave high-school because she couldn’t afford to buy socks?

I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s video where 91 year old great grandmother Clara shared her Pea Pasta recipe. Here’s another one of her family favorites – Egg Drop Soup

To be honest, I’m not sure my family would particularly enjoy this soup, but it is a nutritious and inexpensive recipe that will fill your belly in a pinch.

I love the story about the trick her brother played on her when she was a little girl.
What do you think about the recipe and Clara?

I found some great cooking videos with frugal recipes from the Great Depression for you. I love the fact that a 91-year-old great grandmother took the time to share them along with some interesting tidbits about growing up during this time period.

I enjoyed watching this and I’m sure you will as well.
