25 FORGOTTEN Meals Our Grandmothers Made Without Ever Measuring a Thing

Our grandmothers never measured a single thing, and they fed entire families through the hardest decades this country ever saw. Number eight kept whole neighborhoods from going hungry, and why it vanished has nothing to do with taste. Number seventeen once had its own name on every block across the Midwest. And number three was the last thing millions of families made when everything ran out. Let's count down twenty-five forgotten meals our grandmothers made without ever measuring a thing.
