So I grabbed some green chilies a few weeks ago when I was stocking up (and going over-budget, sigh!)…and I had plans to make a green chile chicken in the slow cooker…but decided to pound out the chicken and roll it around the green chilies instead. I paired this with brown rice, corn kernels and [...]

Thought I’d replace the traditional beef in Stuffed Green Peppers with some black and red kidney beans instead. And I’m glad I did! The “filling” is so delicious and fresh…and it be great rolled up in a tortilla for lunch.
(That’s what I’ll be having for lunch tomorrow.)
Ingredients
1 cup brown rice ($.40)
1 small yellow onion, finely [...]
So grateful for a stocked freezer when coming home from a trip. I grabbed some ground meat, cooked black and pinto beans, and set to work in the kitchen. After thawing it all, I browned the ground meat, then added the beans and some BBQ sauce.
So. So. Simple.
I also had some drop biscuits in the [...]
(Sorry about the funny photos this week…I posted them from our desktop and it does weird things to them?!)
Here’s what I love about this recipe. You can make a ton of the “filling” and use it so many different ways! The recipe for the filling that I will post below will easily stretch [...]
For a while now, I’ve been toying with the idea of putting myself on a Gluten Free diet. No real reason really. Just want to see if I feel any different when eliminating gluten.
And here is a recipe that will be on the menu when (if ever) I decide to make that leap.
Ingredients
1 cup red [...]
See that corn up there?!? The “summer price” of $.25/ear is here a bit early this year! I couldn’t help myself and snagged a few for this week. The boys L-O-V-E corn and I love watching them munch it off the corn. It’s sorta cute!
This *might* just become my new “go-to” meal. It’s way low [...]
I dug out some tilapia fillets from the depths of the freezer. Thankfully they were vacuum packed and in another freezer bag, so they almost as good as fresh!
I wanted to grill the fillets straight on the grill, but they were too thin…so I “foil grill” it is. And we’ll round out the meal with [...]
My camera battery is still dead.
***Note to self: Make this quick, and go find that charger.
We all really enjoyed this. Even the boys, who mentioned…several times…that their lips were on fire.

Ingredients
4 cups cooked black beans ($.50)
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (free) Used $.50/1 coupon, doubled, when on sale for [...]
When it looks like THIS outside…
…and every tree is sight is covered with frost and snow…
…it’s SO WONDERFUL to be able to pull out some of these…
…delicious green peppers, straight from the garden, rather the freezer! But straight from the garden into the freezer…
…and remember that spring is coming. But not soon enough!
Green peppers can [...]
While I was stocking up the freezer, I cooked a few whole chickens in the slow cooker. One of those times, I combined some of the shredded chicken with a can of Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, some frozen corn, black beans and ground cumin.
Mix. And Freeze.
Thaw. And Warm.
So simple…I love it!
I found [...]
