1 Deo Volente Chicken = 4 Meals and then some!

Meal 1: Roasted in Crockpot and enjoyed with steamed veggies on the side.

Meal 2: Breasts diced and used in Chicken Enchilada casserole.

Meal 3: Carcass made into broth, used for Pea Soup (15 min. to make this!)

Meal 4: Broth used to make homemade tomato sauce with brown rice noodles.

Meal 5: Leftover diced chicken, brown noodles, and broth plus assorted veggies used to make Chicken Noodle Soup.

Meal 6: TBD! I still have plenty of meat left over for a chicken salad or quesadillas. What would you do?

Approximate total cost for all meals: < $30.00

Satisfaction knowing I’m feeding my family whole foods?

Priceless!

    Sarah,

    Welcome and thank you for coming by! I most certainly will be sharing tips for culturing milk in upcoming posts. I absolutely LOVE the taste of homemade yogurt and you need absolutely nothing but milk and a bit of starter. You have inspired me to post about that very soon, and I will! Stay tuned, and good luck with your yogurt!!!
