Do you make up recipes when your poor?!

Answers:
What a great question.
Oh yes I sure have.
Some of my best meals I can ever remember, were the times I were broke, thought there was nothing in the house to eat, and then all of a sudden put this and that together and feasted.
I can remember these:
Mexican egg scramble!
-Spanish Rice-a-roni mixed with scrambled eggs with white toast.
Vegetarian chili-mac:
-A can of "chili starter" that you are supposed to add ground beef to....I took two boca burgers and used it instead of ground beef and then cooked some noodles and mixed it w/ the chilie and had vegetarian chili mac.
-Asian peanut noodles!
Boiled some spaghetti noodles.
In a pan melted some peanut butter and added soy sauce and then mixed it with the noodles.
That's all I can think of for now.
lol, very funny! I think sometimes you just gotta make do with what you got in the house! Good Job!
I think thats an original recipe, I've made stuff up, but not quite that, but if the kids like it, who cares?
Necessity is the mother of invention. Congratulations on your child eating it (and liking it)
Sounds interesting!
I think that sounds great. I could use a little yellow corn sprinkled in my regular brown color.
I once made ketchup soup and tried to convince myself it tasted like tomato soup.
Yea, I make up recipes, but not cause I'm poor, I'm just too lazy to go to the grocery store. I've made some good stuff with all the extra junk lying around my kitchen.
But cream corn, eggs, and water? Count me out.
It's called corn pudding. I use a couple more whole eggs and onions and then bake it. It's great you are mixing healthy things together. Yes, I guess when you do not have a lot of food you put together what you can. When my husband and I first got married we ate a lot of macaroni and cheese with tuna. Good job.
LOL...As a single parent of 3 I am on a tight budget and forever making up my own recipes....surprisingly, much like your toddlers, my kids like it.
My oldest says it's like McDonald's...you get a treat in every kids meal....LOL!!!
i once only had 20 bucks to last me for 2 weeks of groceries. i bought a case of mr noodles, cheese slices, eggs, bread and frozen veggies, needless to say i mixed and matched all those foods together til they ran out.
Yep. When I was in between jobs, I made up a lot of recipes, and ate a lot of stuff I wouldn't normally have eaten. I learned from my neighbors, who came from the deep south, that chickory roots could be harvested, roasted, ground up and used as a substitute for coffee, and that certain parts of burdock were edible. They taught me that you could eat small dandelions leaves raw, large ones cooked (simmered with a little butter and salt), and add summer sorrel to give it a bit of sweet lemon flavor. I also found out form them that you can roast the dandelion roots and eat them.
