let's make foods from my childhood!

[@CrazyAboutPurple]

Oh honey I'm 70 and grew up eating all that and still do. Only difference is we would toast bread before adding butter cinnamon and sugar.

[@Nikibaby74]

I love cinnamon and butter toast. Also buttered toast with honey 😋

[@Lexielouwho]

Same. My sister would line up several pieces and put it under the broiler. Remember when stoves had a broiler under the stove where we now have a pull out drawer to store lids or pans. Ya that thing made the bread nice and crispy on the outer rim and soft in the middle. Damn, now I want some cinnamon toast. Lol

[@theblissfulcanuck]

My Mom fried bologna in whole slices, so it curled up and called them 'bologna hats'. We loved them alongside our Kraft dinner mac n cheese. ❤

[@lucielariviere489]

In my house, it was bologna bras 😂

[@wendylou1708]

Just realized I grew up poor. We had most of these but a little different. Toast your bread for the margarine and fried balogna sandwich especially if the bread is dry. On the cinnamon toast, mix the sugar and cinnamon together first, sprinkle on buttered bread then put on broil until the topping gets crispy. The can cheese goes hood on the crackers. I love rice with butter and sugar to this day. Thanks for the video. 😊

[@fuschiaflower7643]

I grew up eating all of that! Don’t forget the potted meat 🍖 and the fried Spam too! 😂😂😂

[@makaylarolland2741]

i add milk to my butter, rice, and sugar and then drink the milk after. its actually a struggle meal from the great depression that my grandmother used to make us when we were kids. i just had left over rice and made it the other day and had my daughter try it. she wasn't a fan. lmao

[@stephaniecolburn]

This is all literally how I survived growing up. These weren’t just snacks or deserts….they were meals for me as a kid. Probably why I now self diagnosed myself with an eating disorder. But they were still all tasty!

[@makaylarolland2741]

i also struggle with eating still to this day. my appetite is extremely sensitive and really only eat once a day. i try to do better as i want my daughter to have a better realtionship with food than i do. i also struggle with eating and being inconvenient. i wish all our food came in a capsule and if you actually wanted to eat your food you could but it wasnt necessary as you would already have everything in a capsule and if you took your capsule you would be full and never feel hungry.

[@MemeMary926]

I just realized I grew up poor. We also ate karo syrup and peanut butter or butter. Added cinnamon and milk to the rice and sugar and toasted the bread for cinnamon toast. 😂 also e didn’t cut up the bologna, just cut a slit in three sides and put butter on the bread. Also fried spam sandwiches.

[@dawneilam7859]

I ate a few of those things but my favorite was the cinnamon sugar bread but what I did was mix the cinnamon and sugar. Buttered the bread. Sprinkled the cinnamon and sugar on the butter bread and then put it under the broiler. So good. I think I shall make some tomorrow. Thanks! lol

[@cspat1]

My Mom would cut a x in the middle of our fried bologna, I still love fried bologna sandwich. Grilled cheese with bologna is not too shabby either. My friend next door moved here from West Virginia they all loved to make what they called soppy. It was bread and butter dipped in Karo syrup. It was a sugar rush for real. We also like Mayo sandwich with salt and pepper lol I think the best tasting lunch memories is creamy peanut butter sandwich with a glass of cold grape Kool Aid loved those 2 flavors together Thank you for the memories. We had budget stretching dishes and goodies. My parents were always having to watch their money when the 4 of us kids were still at home.

[@peridot1706]

I grew up in the 1970s and we ate some of the same though our "must have" brands were different. Oscar Meyer bologna, Hellmans mayo. White bread was either Wonder Bread or Sunbeam; "healthier" brown/wheat bread was Roman Meal or Pepperidge Farms. I loved fried bologna sandwiches. Sometimes if we were out of bacon or sausage, mom would fry that up to go with the eggs for breakfast. An older sib liked to put regular bologna on pb&j sandwiches. We sometimes ate left over rice for breakfast. We'd eat it like oatmeal (butter, brown sugar, cinnamon & milk). We didnt have a microwave when I was little, so we'd heat up crackers/tortilla chips with cheese in the toaster oven. I always liked sliced apples & cheese slices. And, of course, grilled cheese sandwiches. And sugar & cinnamon bread HAD to be toasted, we never ate it cold.

[@adlsfkjawoeimmm]

we used to have something called poor man's candy which was peanut butter and syrup mixed... sometimes we'd throw a little torn up bread in it for texture lol

[@amyleech449]

Yes,we had the fried bologna sandwich but we ate it on taosted bread,we also had tuna fish on a slice of bread put it under the broiler a minute let it get crispy was good and spam sandwiches but of course im quite a bit older than you i grew up in the sixties

[@starsunmoon30]

We LOVE spam! Just slice thin as paper fry till black. yum!!

[@Nikibaby74]

I loved, and still do just don’t eat it often, franks and beans. When my mom was a little girl that was her chosen special bday meal every year haha. Bushes baked beans with cut up hotdogs. I might make them for dinner tonight lol

[@weaverfirst8217]

I still love a fried baloney sandwich once in a while. It’s a great munchie food. Being from the south and growing up in Northern CA as a teenager I introduced my friends to so many elegant southern foods!

[@lynnlazenby1973]

I love you saying, it taste like poor feels. I grew up eating all of these things too. I toasted the bread with the cinnamon and sugar. I was too poor for the tortilla chips. LOL I laughed so hard, so relatable.

[@mbbriere]

I ate everything you made except the Vienna sausages and cheese! I’m almost 60, those are timeless!,😅

[@smeghead3835]

Just had fried bologna for lunch. Still great with the slightly warm mayo!!!

[@geelizzie]

I have to agree on the saltines and butter, delicious!

[@barbaratodd1769]

Saltines and country crock! Right on! Loved it then, still do! Love the cinnamon and sugar on bread, I would (and still do) toast the bread first. Fun video! Almost forgot, bring on the bologna! Oscar Mayer all the way!

[@cindypurvis9204]

Ate all of this growing up and still do. Also sugar toast.. lots of butter in middle of loaf Bread and lots of sugar then toast it

[@FadedStar05]

I did butter (not margarine) on the saltines also. We also did fried hot dog slices in scrambled eggs or just on top of cottage cheese. That good culture cottage cheese is the best tasting and clean ingredients. Try the Good Culture double cream cottage cheese if you see it. And you have to TOAST the bread for the cinnamon butter bread. Yum.

[@susanruhl4299]

We always put potato chips on our fried bologna and mayo sandwiches. Great texture combo (and enough sodium for a month I guess 😅)

[@karenlee2648]

My favorite was and still is fried chipped ham sandwich. Yumm

[@debseyler2817]

You are just toooooo funny. I love all 3 of your channels. So damn funny. 😁 and the way ❤❤❤❤

[@maryanngastaldo6751]

Yay! Soooo glad you still give the fried bologna sandwich a 10 out of 10!!

[@brendacahill1537]

The hot dogs in a can are my FAVORITE things to eat on this planent!! My husband thinks otherwise....He thinks I'm complete nutty for eating those things, but can't help it. So good!! haha. Love you Brittnee!! Thanks for what all what you do!!

[@ChloesColdEars111]

We used to have the saltines with butter too. We would make sugar cinnamon toast, you have to put plenty butter on that toast first then sprinkle sugar and cinnamon, damn that was good. Its the cheap poor snack I still make!! Loved kicking the door shut!!

[@the1_grammy503]

You haven’t lived until you’ve had a butter and ketchup sandwich.

[@ReneeW59]

I did some of these but with real butter. My cinnamon bread was toasted and I mixed the sugar and cinnamon then poured it on.

[@gail22213]

I still make fried bologna sandwiches, when im in the mood. Also had wide noodles and pot cheese. Liver and onions, still eat it.

[@paigeray3535]

Blogna Manaz samich,of course not necessary to together yummy 😋 😜 mmm and if you hand it roman on the go,like with hard noodles,and the dry packet sauce on top,😂😂😂😊

[@irienerd8178]

I grew up poor so all these things are things I ate or versions thereof lol. If we were lucky we got some ramen that week and we'd savor the entire thing broth and all. I'm surprised I didn't die as a child from all the salt intake back then lol.

[@Varying5]

So wild that I ate all of this growing up too!!! ❤ Well, besides the cheese on the sausage 😂😂😂❤

[@kamily8288]

Noooo!!! Not the weenie water!!!! 😂 I grew up eating this stuff too! ❤

[@Freedom-67]

Fried bologna sammiches were the best ❤

[@ItsAMbutyoutubechangedmyname]

Growing up we didn’t get candy more then a few times a year so our treat at times that I still now and then do was a whole egg and x amount of sugar mix it together so it gets thick and fluffy. And quick lunch bread and butter and ketchup on that 😂 And road trip food was a cold sausage and cinnamon rolls take a bite of one then the other it was the best Wish I could get the the sausage here in the us yuuum

[@jennysilvia9415]

I love crispy fried bologna sandwiches with mayonnaise.

[@MicHell66]

Noooooo!! 😆 Mustard 😋

[@jennysilvia9415]

@MicHell66 I've never tried it with mustard because I just love mayonnaise so much, but I might have to give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@wallysworld3435]

My grandma would make us butter and sugar sandwiches - we were fancy!

[@qkritten]

I grew up with some of these 😆 others- like the sugar rice - are new to me. Great video ❤

[@jadejordaan1955]

Fun to see that all of those Temu gadgets are being used !

[@tammywojanbrewer8586]

I just had bologna on buttered toast yesterday. Been a tough week & it's my go too comfort food.❤ have you ever heard of "kitty bread"? No? Well, it's a slice of plain white bread in a napkin used as a snack/lunch for those of us on other side of wealth😂

[@aaamyyoung]

Apparently I was in the poor boat too! 🤜🤛 I had every single one of those things growing up! Maybe it's a south thing? Or a south pour thing!?!? However you want to look at it, it's what made us who we are today! 💜

[@SophieBaby0527]

Thanks for sharing ❤

[@ShelpR]

I' all about fried bologna! Still love that!

[@lisanolte4461]

If you put the butter on the bread and then toast it in the toaster oven and put on the cinnamon sugar, it comes out soon good. Also I would just cut a slit in the bologna before frying so it came out looking like a Pac-Man.

[@tiffanyjarvis7380]

I still love fried bologna! Gotta add a slice of that American cheese to it though 😁

[@CarolPearse-q3w]

Million thumbs up, love ya girl! 😂

As a poor child in the 60`s and 70's these were all the menu except the spray cheese was too fancy for us. Lol😂

[@melissamissyspiller758]

When I was growing up I liked the American spray cheese on my over easy fried eggs Yum and real butter on saltines. Fried bologna sandwhiches was a must but I ate it with mustard and maybe sliced cheese . My grandmother would butter bread and put sugar on it and put it under the broiler and I still eat all of these today . But one of my favorite things was cooked elbow macaroni with canned milk and butter with salt and pepper .

[@kikiwebb7731]

[@brittneealexuscooks]

i am trying this! that actually sounds good!!

[@lennybuttz2162]

Do you do stand up? If not you should. My mom would buy 5 loaves of bread dough for $1 and bake up a couple at a time, she'd slice 2 thick pieces and put lots of real butter on them because you couldn't even buy margarine in WI in those days. It was illegal. You had to drive to Illinois and sneak it across the boarder. Anyway she'd put the bread chunks in a small clean brown paper bag with a couple big spoonfuls of sugar, shake it up, toss it out the window for me and that would be my lunch during the summer when I didn't want to come in the house. Yup we ate saltines and butter for special treat when we were watching TV at night. (Don't get any crumbs on the couch!)

[@the_rocs_roost]

I never much cared for bologna, but that's something I only ever said out loud once growing up. Let me tell ya-I learned right quick that here in Appalachia saying you don't like bologna is just about the quickest way there is to get branded a "stuck-up," or a "weirdo." I also don't really like cornbread, but that's even worse...

[@LizaHanderhan]

You forgot to add milk to the rice! It was a childhood favorite of mine!!!

[@brittneealexuscooks]

what!! i have never tried that! I will be doing this soon- thank you!!!

[@LizaHanderhan]

Mix the milk and rice heat to a creamy consistency. Then top with “butter” and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. We had it for dinner many many times. Now I want some! Enjoy :)

[@lennybuttz2162]

You gotta add some cinnamon to the butter rice. mmm mmm not quite like rice puddin but close enough.

[@kathleenmorris3040]

Well I’m Italian we had 3 or 4 course dinners every night lol

[@erical8437]

We was so poor, we would have ketchup sandwiches… two ingredients.. ketchup and bread.. want to change it up? Second one was mustard and bread.. same as the first.

[@nataliemarshall7158]

Just a little side note re the bologna, apparently, all of the ingredients you listed are the parts with collagen in them. And the reason we need to supplement collagen these days is because no one eats those parts of animals anymore. So I wonder does that now make bologna a beauty enhancing supplement?? 😂😂😂

Mom would boil beans all day with a ham hock for flavor and we'd lather the cornbread in butter then drench it with sugar. She'd say, beans can feed us for a week. Lol.

He would take Saltine crackers, put slices of cheese on lay in cast iron skillet put in oven till it melted😊. Me and my friends and I would eat it up. He would pop popcorn on the stove, in a pot, in Lard, yes Lard.
