There's also chicken fricassee...at least what we called fricassee....I have since learned that fricassee usually have (gasp) veggies in it.
Not the way mom made it!
Fried chicken (dredge with flour, fry until brown)
Place fried chicken pieces in a casserole, cake pan, or chicken fryer.
Add water or chicken broth.
Cover and bake until the meat will come off the bone.
I read something recently...it had to do with the woman who was accosted with a frozen possum...apparently they carry some horrific disease, but I can't remember what it is.
Oh..and eggs benedict! Poached eggs, english muffins, ham and hollandaise sauce (I use a mix, it's fine).
Yum!

When we were really, really poor, my mom used to hardboil six eggs, dice them up, and stir them into cream of mushroom soup, served over toast.

My mom made ground beef with tomato and mushroom soups. Over rice, potatoes, or just bread. Add a veg, good.

This was during the lean years, when they couldn't afford ground beef.
I have committed to creating weekly menus. I'm on week three and I'm running out of ideas. I want to have 5 weeks, then we can just rotate.
My menus per day usually just have two items; the entree and one side. Spaghetti & salad, meatloaf & potatoes, Oriental Casserole and...well I think that one stands on its own.
I found it yesterday and can't wait to try it. Super simple, I think it will be a hit, SUPER cheap. Cook 4 packets of ramen, add oil, fry some ground turkey, add 2 packets of the seasoning to the meat, add 2 packets of the seasoning (and some frozen mixed veggies) to the noodles, then mix the whole shebang.
I work and I have a daughter learning to cook, so I'm looking for simple, super cheap, not many ingredients. We don't get home until 6 pm or so at night, so I'm not interested in recipes that need all sorts of prep and special ingredients.
So does anyone else rely on a menu to feed their family? I got tired of always having to scramble and never knowing what we were having. I want to have it laid out so we know when we go to school and work what we're going to have that night, and I can make sure we come home with whatever we might need.
Tonight we're having swedish meat balls and carrots. I'm using gr turkey, cream of mushroom soup (I know, I know, but it works for some things) and egg noodles (and sour cream). Carrots are about the cheapest veggie going if you buy the big dirty ones and cut them up. I cook them in the microwave, super easy.
Pears for dessert, but we don't always have dessert.
I love a corn dog with a mustard creme fraiche.
