What's Cookin' Wednesday, November 20th

Happy Hump Day! I hope everyone is having a great week! I wanted to take a moment and share a recipe that I have found and tweaked a little for my family. I found this recipe on Pinterest and thought it might be a good way to use up some of my pantry items.

Ingredients
1 pound of uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s), diced
1 cup of diced carrots
1 cup of diced celery
12fl oz Kroger Evaporated Milk (I used the Simple Truth Brand)
8 oz. package of Priano Tomato mozzarella tortellini (purchased at Aldi.
32 oz./4 cups of Simple Truth Organic Vegetable Stock, Fat Free

Dice chicken into small, bite sized pieces
Peel and dice carrot into small pieces
Add to slow cooker along with broth and seasonings
Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8
Turn slow cooker to high and add evaporated milk and dried tortellini
For a thicker soup, stir cornstarch with an equal amount of water until smooth and add to soup - I did not do this.

My family really enjoyed this. It was tasty and filling.

I hesitate to even call this a recipe. I have been making this super easy, but versatile recipe for years. My ex-grandmother-in-law made hers spicier, but for my young one (at the time I started making this) wasn't a fan of spicy foods. So I created a cheeseburger variety of the meat pie. It's simply Grands biscuits, hamburger meat and cheese. I believe she used the standard biscuit, but I have been using Grands for years. You can absolutely change this up to use different ingredients, but it's a family favorite so I haven't changed it much. I may do a different variety soon to bring to you!

Savings Saturday, May 3rd

As we are trying to drill down on our budget and add to our savings, I decided to have a little fun with it. We headed to Barnes & Noble and purchased 2 Word Find books, one is 365 Days of Puzzles and the other is a book of Bible Puzzles. The 365 Puzzle book is pretty interesting in that it varies in topic. My puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were: Monday: Disco [Puzzle 50], I found 10 words in 6 minutes. Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes. Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes. So my total to go into savings for the first week: $21.00 Savings Total for this challenge: $21.00. I have decided to only do a puzzle on the weekdays, but not the weekends for this challenge. Why? Being honest, there are some days/some weeks, like end of the month that get a bit overwhelming. Only doing a puzzle 5 days per week, gives me an opportunity to do one on the weekend if the ...
