Thankfully I had an older brother to show me a few things but I remember we had to forage for ourselves during the summer especially. We learned (and were apparently trusted) to use the stove, mixer, etc to what we needed to do.
Random memories of what I/we managed to make (yes, this was before microwaves...or at least we didn't have one):
> Tomato soup (I like mine with a butter)
> Bean soup (add ketchup)
> Fried egg sandwiches (also with ketchup)
> Grilled cheese (see tomato soup)
> Fried bologna (a little butter in a pan and drop it in)
> Toll House cookies (if we made it past the dough)
> Homemade frosting using powdered sugar and 1/2 and 1/2. Put on graham crackers and if desperate on saltines. Sometimes adding some food coloring (check the date?)
Not related to foraging, I remember Mom would put packs of gum in the small Sugar bowl and there was a plastic coffee can lid covering it. Wrigley's Spearmint, Juicy Fruit and Double Mint. And yes...Dentyne!
