Oh Lord! When I rasied my boys as a single mother in a trailer park, I used to have a lot of struggle meals:

1. Trailer Park Fettucine: boil noodles, top with a sauce made of cream of mushroom soup mixed with milk (or water if it's really tight), whatever veggie you have on hand and top with cheese, if you have it, or not;

2. beans and rice (literally a can of black beands, a can of tomatoes and rice);

3. Tuna cakes (can of tuna, mix with a couple of mashed potatoes, form into cakes, pop in the oven;

4. Add cut up hotdogs to Lipton chicken noodle soup

I could go on for days! ;)
