My favorite memories of my mom's meals that she probably felt bad about ! When my Dad was working an evening shift, my mom would make Shit on a Shingle (dried beef in white sauce over toast). He would have hated that for dinner, but we loved it! I have it only once or twice a year now, but it is so nostalgic for me! Plus, you are showing your kids how to pivot and be creative! It's a wonderful way to live. Some nighs I used to set up a "buffet" on the counter. They loved it
