I don’t remember if it was cream of mushroom soup mixed into tuna, heated, and served over toast, or just canned mushrooms, milk, and tuna, served over toast, but I liked it so much that I’d make it for myself. Creamed tuna on toast. Yum!
open faced cheese toast with a can of heated cream of mushroom soup poured over
My mom was a working mom long before it was the norm, so us kids learned to make breakfast for ourselves pretty early. If I was feeling extra, I’d make poached eggs in a pan like this:
I bought a similar pan recently, more out of nostalgia than anything else, but damn, I kept burning my fingers trying to get the little egg dish out of the pan. Something changed in the intervening decades! I hate the pan.

Ground beef and carrots. My mom would cut up carrots into small pieces and cook it down with some ground beef, onion, and garlic.
Tried making this for the first time a few days ago. Really good stuff.

My Paw Paw used to make us kids what he called "Ho Cake" 8 year old me remembers it as a giant biscuit that he made the size of the cast iron skillet and fried it in butter, then served with syrup. I've tried Googling a Ho cake recipe but everything comes up as corn meal recipes as opposed to Bisquick like he used. Also another meal from childhood I hope to never have to eat again is fried mullet. We were poor so my dad would go throw the net on the beach several times a week for my entire childhood. I can't remember how many times I watched the sun come up from that flat bottom boat before school. I relish the memories with him, but don't want to ever eat mullet again.

I make those every couple of weeks. You can really jazz those up with more sauces and seasonings.

I throw hot sauce and jalapenos into mine. Pretty good.

We had a similar egg poaching pan when I grew up.

Steen's because the taste was clear to me, and of course it was. The server said at one point they had to try another syrup and it wasn't the same at all.
So, poor Louisiana breakfast has now been elevated to high cuisine
350 days a year I'm a Black coffee no chickory guy.
But if the temp is below 32, a heavy dose of Steens in coffee is delightful.

My wife's family makes a hoe cake, but it's basically just corn meal and water, forming a 1/4 thick, dense, corn cake. Cooked in a skillet. Good stuff with peas or greens.

We ate these pretty often when we were first married, along with hot dogs on white bread with American cheese and Kraft mac & cheese. Good times, truly.
Every couple of months, I make a roast like my mama did-2 cans French onion soup & 1 can cream of mushrooms. I also make her Swiss steak and stroganoff. My grandmother-in-law used to make tenderized sirloin tip with cream of chicken and mushroom. I make that every once in a while for my husband, but for me, too. Loved that woman so much.

Cracker sized bologna on, you guessed it...crackers. It came in a tube and you would slice it yourself. If we were feeling really fancy my mom would buy us some Easy Cheese to squirt on top.
A few pages back someone mentioned graham crackers in milk, we would do vanilla wafers in milk. It looked like chunky vomit, but tasted like heaven.
The day my dad came home with a Sandwich Maker changed my childhood forever. We would do all kinds of stuff in it. Pizzas, my dad tried to convince us that putting pancake batter in it would make it like a waffle, but it would be too thick so it was burned on the outside and runny in the middle. My favorite thing still to this day is peanut butter either with jelly or with sliced bananas and pancake syrup.
