Feeding Your Family In Hard Times//Simple Egg Salad//Surviving the Great Depression 2.0

For generations, basic home-economics skills helped families make the most of what they had. But many of those simple skills were never passed down, and today a growing number of people are trying to learn how to prepare affordable meals from basic ingredients while grocery prices continue to rise.

In this installment of Home Economics: Surviving the Great Depression 2.0, we are looking at the humble egg—not simply as a breakfast food, but as the foundation of an economical, filling meal.

I’ll show you the simple method I use to boil and peel eggs easily, because struggling with hard-boiled eggs can keep people from using them in practical meals such as egg salad. We will also make a large bowl of basic egg salad that can feed several people for one meal, often for less than $10, or provide several days of lunches for one or two people.

Eggs are one of the most nutrient-dense foods available. Along with complete protein, they provide choline, vitamin B12, riboflavin, selenium, vitamin A, vitamin D, and healthy fats. They are filling, versatile, easy to store, and can be used in many different meals.

This series is about going back to the basics—learning how to feed our families, stretch what we have, and become less dependent on expensive, ready-made foods. These may seem like simple lessons, but simple household knowledge can make a real difference during hard times.

For you seasoned cooks, do you have a favorite ingredient you add to egg salad? Share it below. Your suggestion may help someone who is learning these skills for the first time.

Until next time, may the Lord Jesus bless you richly in His Spirit and His truth.
