How's it going Reader,

Looking back, I'm pretty sure half my childhood was powered by budget recipes.

My mom could turn a can of ANYTHING into a meal. Those same recipes still sneak into my kitchen today, and yeah, they still hit the spot.

So here are some of the ones I grew up eating on repeat (a.k.a. proof you don't need a million ingredients to make something good).

Catch you later,

PS. If you could go back and eat ONE meal from your childhood kitchen, what would it be?
