A great childhood. !!!

My grandma was left a widow of 11 children at the start of 1933 ( the youngest being my mom at 3 months ). She didn't have money for her own shoes when they wore out she wore just "rubber covers" on her feet and worked at a sweat shop for about half of what they would hve paid a man back then. She often told her kids "i ate already" or "im not hungry" when she wasn't sure there was enough food.

We’re actually living in the Silent Depression now, it’s a real thing so your cheap meals series is very relevant, thx you!!

My grandmother was 25 years old when the great depression started…she talked A LOT about how hard things were. Her family lived on a dairy farm so they had food (because they raised or grew it all) 16:43 but money was hard to come by. People today do not understand how rough families had it during the depression…thanks for sharing these recipes…you are a joy to watch!

I love these series. I believe they are important. It burns my biscuits to hear someone say they wouldn't eat that. U don't know what true hunger would or would not make u do! My mother was born near the end of the great depression and WWII began in 41 so it was hard on a lot of people for longer. She would talk about wearing the flour sack dresses. The rabbit tobacco they smoked and chicory coffee they drank. It was hard times for sure but they gardened and had small farms. They also did what they called "trading" U would take some of your garden goodies and trade it with other kin folk for eggs, or milk and meat. Til my parents passed away they still called grocery shopping "trading" lol My parents were definitely older when I was born but they were the best and I was blessed to of had them. They taught me the love of Jesus, how to adapt,overcome, and survive. I've never had to live that hard but I can. Your right Brooke, people really loved u. God bless u all.

I was watching a KZread clip on mullein recently, and my husband asked if that was rabbit tobacco. I had heard my mom and granny mention that term before but never knew what they were talking about. I've been having it as tea lately to help with my asthma. Glad I finally know what they meant.

I still make great depression meals to this day 😅. Its what your raised on, corn bread and pinto beans. Yum

You mean cornbread and pinto beans are not a delicacy?

My mom was one of 10 kids, her dad was a coal miner during the depression. They grew their own garden and raised chickens. Once walking home from the mines, her dad found a dime on the road. He stopped at the store and bought a soup bone. My mom says they had soup for days from that bone. Added their own veggies I guess.pretty sure they never had to resort to sawdust or lint.

My grandmother made underwear, dresses, shirts, and dolls out of flour sacks during the depression. They lived on a farm but still struggled to feed everyone. Family of 8. I love learning about different eras and this is one of my favorites!!!

Great series. I think so many of us really don't understand how bad it was.

I remember a pink dress with tiny red flowers and green leaves all over it when I was very small, made out of one of those feed sacks, and that was in the early 60s.

Another great and educational video Bestie - thank you!🥰The look on your face when you tasted how good the apple pudding was is just precious.😀 People who say they "would never eat that" have never really struggled. Today you can go to a food bank or even stand on the side of the road or in front of the grocery store with a sign asking for help and you'll get enough to eat something. The difference is that back then NO ONE HAD ANYTHING TO GIVE so yes, you would eat that.

FLOUR SACK FABRIC is now highly prized by older traditional quilters.... they collect them and sometimes use them in their quilts .... or just save them to stroke them ( my girlfriend does that) MANY flour sack were made into kid clothes ( most moms sewed back then) because the fabric was sturdier then regular fabric and held up better.

I have a dress that’s made from a sugar sack, my daughter had one too when she was little. I’ve got them both in my cedar chest!!❤. Side note…FrugalFitMom took apple cores and a few slices of apple and made a simple syrup for pancakes and waffles!!! It looked delicious!! You just cook them in enough water to cover them, add sugar or brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and a little corn starch slurrie to thicken it up a bit!!!

i love reading and watching stuff on the great depression. my grandparents were tweens and teens in the 1930s. i can't even imagine how they made it through. my grand mothers family had 5 kids on a railway workers salary. even in the 1980s, they grew and made almost everything. my grampy made the best bread and nanna made the best strawberry jam and date squares. they had a huge veggie garden, strawberry patch, cherry trees and apple trees, raspberry bushes.

Yeah my “dad” worked alongside with his dad out on the tracks and worked to build the “water shed” ponds in the area. My dad started working on the railroad at the age of 14/15.

I love this recipe. I’ve never considered shredding apples. When I make this for a pot luck, I’ll add a lot of cinnamon and maybe a few raisins. I love this series. My mom was born in 1937 and even when she graduated high school in the late fifties, most everyone was still making clothes, including underwear and men’s shirts from feed sacks. PS Those are really cute earrings.

My grandmother and grandfather were married in 1928 right before the crash and depression. I grew up hearing so many stories:;my mother born in 1938. I am kind of obsessed with that time period and love what you are doing! Had no clue that Al Capone had a soup kitchen!

Great recipe. I would have added some cinnamon. Probably increase more of the egg & sugar mixture too. Great series. During the Great Depression folks who lived in the courntry or who had large backyards the government greatly encouraged the folks to grow gardens for their own food supply. Will you do a series on cooking from your own garden produce?

I'm 43 but I was one of those children born to older parents. My dad was born in 1927...yes he was 51 when I was born but anyway he would tell ma y stores about this time period. This has always been my favorite part of history to learn about. They had it very hard but learned how to take absolutely nothing and turn it into something useful. We just don't know how good we have it but like you said people worked together to help one another also. I love this series you are doing makes me remember my dad who has passed. Thank you

Great recipe, and you’re so right, it’s amazing how fast your standards change when one is knocked off their high horse!

And if you think it would be good with a pie crust, try making biscuits and pressing into a 9x13 and then pouring the pudding on top and baking. I bet that would make Ryder like the texture better too.

So the people that say "I would never eat that" have never been truly hungry. We often say "I'm starving " when we are just hungry. Most of us have never really been starving. Food is food. Eat it or starve, your choice. BTW love watching you sweetheart

When my daughter was in middle school my Papa brought over "The Grapes Of Wrath" he told my daughter his granddaughter she should read it to understand what it was like during the Great depression he said it was factual. My Papa was born in 1913 & my mom in 1920 so they lived much of it. Believe me all of us grew up on stories of what they went through. People that want to understand what it was really like should read this book. just sayin.

I totally agree with you. I often tell people they should read it. I say it was my father’s story. His family lost everything to the dust bowl in Kansas. They loaded up their model T ‘s and migrated to Washington State.

My grandparents were so poor, they did not know there was a depression. They moved to Detroit and both ended up with full retirements from Chrysler, retired and lived very good lives but never forgot where they came from. I cannot imagine my gran in the late 40s working on the assembly line but she did. Thanks for the pudding recipe, Brooke. Have a glorious day and as always, be blessed my Southerland Squad! xoxo

I am really enjoying this series. Not only are the recipes great but your insights of the great depression are a marvelous way to educate us by bringing the experiences people had to endure to live. Thank you.

My grandmother restored antique quilts and she called the material feedbags. So amazing.

My parents were depression era survivors. Not only that, my mothers father, was fresh from Germany, Germans were shunned, during that time. The stories I heard, growing up, where like something out of movie. There is poor, and there is poor. Silver lining…. It developed character, strength, and appreciation for what you had. Funny thing, as desperate as times were, I never got the sense, that my parents hated their childhood! Yes, they had nothing, but everyone was in the same boat. The sense of community was something we don’t understand.

Your apple pudding reminds me of those recipes where the flour mixture sinks to the bottom to make a crust and goodies remain on top. I think there is no time frame for cooking in your original recipe it is because the apples depending on what type is used have different moisture content, so you have to bake off the moisture. My mom use to make this pudding but she left the peels on for family and only peeled for company. ( Peels increased the nutrition) Thank you for your research, loving this series.

I have been getting a lot of depression recipes lately. They are easier and have less ingredients. It’s very convenient and cheaper than other recipes. My parents used to talk about the depression when I was younger. Im really enjoying your depression video series.

Great recipe to use up the cans of applesauce that is given out a lot at food banks if your family "wont" eat applesauce.

My Mother is 96 and we kids grew up on "depression food" because that's what she knew how to cook. SOS was a favorite and also creamed mixed veggies on toast. My GrandFather was a personal driver for the mayor of Atlantic City, (think Boardwalk Empire on HBO) during the 20's. My GrandMother and the 8 kids they had.. raised chickens and butchered many on Saturday to deliver to hotels in Atlantic City for Sunday dinners they served to guests. Mother remembers her Mom being up all night cleaning chickens. Grandmother also baked cinnamon rolls, (sticky buns) which she sold to neighbors. Tough, hard working lady!

People now forget that people then were just the same as us only in black and white pictures. A lot of people are feeling the same pain as people did then. It could be your next door neighbor and you might not even know. I'm trying to start a Blessing box in our subdivision, but I have to wait for approval from the HOA. Good video

I grew up with these stories. My mom was born in 1926, delivered by her 14 year old sister. In a covered wagon no less. The house she lived in til age 11, had packed dirt floor. I got to visit this " house" the walls, there were gaps in the siding you could see between. No running water or electricity. They had an out house and a root cellar.

Your kids are sweet. I think they like being food tasters!

I think a good movie that depicts the depression well, and is a true story, is Cinderella Man. its so good!

Parents taught me to watch spending. Unfortunately, early on, I thought I knew better. I thought I had all the answers. I was given the tools and didn't grab hold. Now 50 years later (I did learn earlier, but still embarrassingly am playing catch-up. ) You can stretch your food budget just by being mindful. People during these times don't have a choice. With food costs and gas costs so high, creative meals are a must. Thank you for sharing.

I have seen the printed flour sacks within the last five years. The local grocery store had them for about 6 months. It was interesting to see what prints were available.

As bad as our recession was back in 08 I couldn't imagine how hard life was during the Great Depression. Breaks my heart and makes me grateful.

My mom grew up on a farm during the depression she fondly remembers a grated sweet potato pudding that I've never been able to recreate for her. Maybe I'll try this with sweet potatoes or yams in place of the apples.

My grandma was born in 1924 and she said that her neighbors would eat rodent stew and that many miners ate potato peel sandwiches. She said they never had it too bad themselves because it was just her and her little sister and they lived with extended family so the income was pulled together. She would make poorboy cookies which she said was a recipe from that time. They're awesome and very cheap to make.

I made this for supper tonight. It was so good! I agree that it has sort of a pecan pie filling under the apples. I will definitely make again and probably add ice cream next time.

Depression Pudding cake: Cook up 1 box each of chocolate, butterscotch amd vanilla pudding. Line bottom and sides of 8x8 pan with Graham crackers. Top with butterscotch pudding, spreading to edges. Top with another layer of Grahams, then (optional) sliced bananas Spread vanilla pudding over that layer. Top with another layer of Grahams. Then spread chocolate pudding over all. If you want you can finish with a layer of whipped topping. Place in refrigerator at least 6 hrs or overnight. Grahams will soften to "cake" like texture. Spoon out and enjoy!

My great Aunt used to crochet an edging on the sack cloth. My mom had clothing from them and I have inherited quilts with some of the cloth.

We just read the book called the worst hard time. It’s about the area where I live during the dust bowl/ depression.

My great grandparents told me that you could have a lot of money but the only way you could get food or other stuff with stamps.

I have several quilts that my grandmother made that have plain flour or feed sacks as the backing. I'm definitely trying this, I have apple chunks canned in jars, I bet if I mashed them a bit they would work great in this.

It looks like homemade applesauce on the bottom with apple pieces on top. I grew up in the sixties. My grandparents grew up in the great depression era.

My mom was born shortly after the great depression she was raised in the smokey mountains they were very poor my grandpa would go out and hunt for whatever he could get sometimes it was rabbit but many of times it was squirrel or whatever little critter he could get my grandma would throw it in the pot and call it stew and you ate it no choices the only choice you had was eat it or starve that was life for them they had a milk cow and a few chickens but they kept cow for milk for the kids and chickens for the eggs it was a tough life for them nothing went to waste needless to say my mom would never eat squirrel or rabbit anymore. Love this series Brooke!

I remember my Dad telling us how my Grandmother made flour sack dresses for his younger sisters.

My in-laws are 87 and still have the depression and WWII frugal mentality. I’ve been collecting depression era cookbooks because hard times are coming.

Enjoying this series, both for the food and because it prompts memories of my parents' growing up stories. Fun fact? Of course there were legitimate seamstresses, but "seamstress" was also a discreet term for prostitute. A census report might show a pretty high number of "seamstresses" living at one address.

That looks alot like the Apple Tart (just missing the tart crust) that Great Grandma Peterson made for family get togethers when I was a kid. Sometimes she'd add walnuts or pecans too. So if the Apple Pudding tastes like that tart filling I'd definitely try putting into a tart crust like Grandma Peterson did. She passed when I was still in middle school (7th or 8th grade), and I've been trying to recreate her Apple Tart ever since cos she didn't write down. Maybe just maybe you found the base of her tart. 🤔 Definitely trying this!!

We make that. I didn't know it came from the great depression. Sometimes we use apple sauce add in raisins , or nuts . In a pie shell. Called it applesauce pie. Add cinnamon , nutmeg , allspice. Whatever you like. Banana , berries , strawberries etc. Whatever you like. Or leave it plain

If you ever watch little house on the prairie Charles says something to Laura in on of the shows where he says what has gotten in to you tonight is it the apple pudding.

When you mentioned the sacks used for clothing even after my father's mother made clothes out of the burlap sacks.

My grandpa work in a mill. He would bring the sacks home and we would get the fabric off. My Nana would make cup towels and other things. I still have a couple of them tothis day. There would be rice all over the floor from just a bit left in the bags

I am 77. Post depression, but people were still very poor in the 40’s and 50’s. My sisters and I had several flour sack dresses. My brother also had shirts made from sacks.

I saw this video the other night and was intrigued. I never and I mean ever try a recipe that I’ve seen on KZread. But I had apples so…. OMG so good. I embellished it a bit with raisins and some cinnamon just because I wasn’t sure if I would ever make it again. I will definitely make this again. Maybe even try different fruit like pineapple or strawberries. Thanks for sharing this was fabulous.

The is a great series for the times we are going through now where we are watching our budgets. We have a depression-era apple pudding recipe from my husband's grandma. It is very similar. 4 cups chopped apples (you can substitute almost any fruit you have on hand!), 1 cup self rising flour, 1 cup sugar, and 1 cup milk (any type, even evaporated or reconstituted powdered milk works). Put in large casserole dish and cook about 1 hour in a 350°oven. I vary it adding nuts, raisins, cranberries, or other add ins. Tastes good plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. My oven is broken but when I visit my son's house, this is a recipe we like to make together since it reminds us of family meals over the years. Now that we are watching our sugar, we would likely substitute some stevia for that cup of sugar. Thank you so much for all the great meal ideas! I love your channel.😊

I knew about using flour sacks to make clothes but never knew the companies used prints. That is so cool! This sounds delicious. I would use pie crust and put cinnamon in it.

I love this series. Shed a few thinking about how it was for my grandparents..and how it was. You have a heart of gold Brooke and your family is lovely. I wonder what brown sugar would have workes in that Apple Pudding recipe. I'd be really interested in a pie crust version or using the biscuit batter like one of the other comments suggested. The series is a pretty humbling reminder of how it could be....Thank you. Could you make fried green tomato's or if you have before link it?

Stir in ketchup, cubed cheese and butter. Spoon into buttered casserole. Top with shredded cheese. Bake at 400 for 20-30 min until bubbly and golden.

I remember hearing how my granny had told my mom about setting snares for little songbirds to eat in order to have a little meat, and my mom talking about having to go "twist" a rabbit for food, which I think involved having to find one in a den or small space and jabbing it with a stick. Awful times.
