Mom was not a fancy cook- but always made a great meal out of things on hand. If it was something that was leftover and needed to be eaten up- you wouldn't know it was in your next meal- made into something real delicious! I think most mom's during the depression did this: and later on the recipes were liked and she kept on making something out of nothing, and it was always delicious- from soups to desserts and everything in between.
