When I was growing up we raised hogs and chicken so we always had a good supply of meat and eggs. Dad also hunted and fished so we had plenty of squirrels, rabbits, raccoons and catfish. We also salt cured our meat so we had a year round supply.

We also raised all of our own veggies and Mom would can them so we had a year round supply of veggies too. One of my favorite things to eat was when she would open up some home grown/home canned tomatoes and fix them with macaroni. It's still my most fond memory of pasta dishes.

We didn't have to buy very much at the store food wise. Sugar, salt, flour. corn meal, milk, cheese and pasta were our main purchases.

Man I would love to have a bowl of my Mom's macaroni and tomatoes!
