Lunch on the Go
We were filming today and yesterday for a show that’s a secret. It’s a pilot for a new reality series, but that’s all I can say about it. (It’s a one time thing for us–not like the Dugger show.) It was great to have so much motivation to get my house organized–even my bedroom, and my kids have had [...]

This tasty soup is ready in just 30 minutes on the stove, or 3 hours in the slow cooker. All you need to add is carrots and water. This would make a lovely gift for a school teacher who needs a night off from cooking. I’ll work on a printable tag for it. Presenation is [...]

Veggie Chips Part 2
I told you I’d let you know how the veggie chips turned out. Super Yum! Even the kids liked them.
Here’s how I did it: Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Peel and thinly slice root vegetables. (I used sweet potatoes, radishes, and beets–what neighbor’s shared from their gardens.) A mandoline made the slicing really fast and [...]

What’s in Your Chimmichanga?
This week, we made Shredded beef sandwiches from the Slow and Savory Cookbook and had leftovers. A few days later I put on a pot of Slow Cooker Refried beans. I also found some hot poblano pepper turkey sausage ($.75 a package, short date sale) in the freezer that needed to be used. Chimmichangas seemed like [...]
Meal from Frozen Chicken Strips
I just wanted to show you a photo of a meal you can make when you fill your freezer with marinated, grilled chicken strips.
This was torn romain with sliced baby bell peppers. I topped it with the grilled chicken, 2 T of shredded cheese, and a sprinkling of leftover spanish rice. I used salsa for [...]

Grilled chicken for the Freezer
With school starting and a generally busy schedule, I’m putting homemade convenience foods in my freezer every chance I get. The latest recipe started with a 10 lb bag of boneless skinless chicken breasts from Costco. I poured a bottle of chipolte lime marinade I snagged for $.50 right into the bag. And refririgerated for [...]
