Grandma's 35 Great Depression Recipes to Save Money

My mom used to make baked stuffed apples they were a treat she put in butter, brown sugar cinnamon and a marshmellow. That was in the 1960s.

Hot water corn bread was cooked often. There was no butter, but bacon grease. There was always a can on the stove. Sugar was what rich people had. We had a bee hive and used honey. I could go on and on.

My mom used to make rice pudding. Oh, it was good! Have a great week, everyone ⚘️⚘️🧡🧡

Sugar was rationed during the depression! Recipes are nice ideas for today

I remember almost all these growing up in the 50's and 60's. Simple but my mom offered them up as special treat.

My dad always likes gravy bread, It's a real good starter for your kids when they're getting off of baby food. Next to an egg and a slice of bread.

I remember seeing a recipe for burnt toast coffee in my Nan's Aunt Daisy recipe book from WW2 era. I'm not sure I could have burnt that toast and scraped all those charred crumbs up(funny enough it does have a Faint coffee smell) then drunk the resulting brew! My goodness I got a true appreciation early for the hardships endured in hard times❤❤❤

The Depression Era Meatloaf is still how I make today lol. That’s how my mom always made it with ketchup on top 😊

Cornmeal mush is almost like the Italian polenta. My family made many of these recipes all the way through the 1950s and 60s.

Potato dumplings... 😋 We had them with roast and gravy.

Nice job. People will be needing these type recipes before long if we are not careful.

Omg!! Peanut butter and mayo is still one of my favorites, throw some chips on there if you want a little more flavor...

[pennyburns]

We used to eat peanut butter and Mayo with lettuce sandwichs. Yum yum still do today.

[donnabarton]

Peanut butter and mayo sandwich is one of my favorite late night snacks. The unctuous peanut butter is complemented by the tart mayo. Sometimes I will add a slice of cheese for extra protein.

My grandmother used to make meatloaf that was similar to this only except she had old bread as the breadcrumbs and just put it in a circular dish of any kind she had and bake it that way with just the meat, onions, egg, bread, salt and pepper.
