Well, you could always make yourself a grilled cheese sandwich...when I was a little girl, and sometimes work for my dad was slow, and he was down to working just 3 or 4 days a week, money was tight...and mom was always looking for new ways to fill us kids up(Dad always had to have meat, because he was the one working)...
So often, mom would make dad his meat meal, but for herself, me and my little brother, she would make grilled cheese sandwiches, and cinnamon toast, in an effort to save money...
I never realized that it was a cheapie meal, because we loved grilled cheese sandwiches and cinnamon toast...
