We had a lot of tuna casserole with mashed potatoes, meat loaf with mashed potatoes or baked potatoes. My mom always had potatoes. We also had pork chops and pot roasts made in the slow cooker.

I think my mom had about 8 meals she rotated, but unless they went out to dinner without us, we had a big meal every night.

When my dad was working late or away on business we had fun stuff like fish sticks, macaroni and cheese, tv dinners, French toast (for dinner), and that kind of thing. Or if my parents went out to dinner without us.

My mom used to make little pizzas using English muffins as the crust, and pizza toppings with all the fun stuff. We kids LOVED those.
