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!

So how did you make pea soup in 15 minutes?

Thanks, Cathy and Kristin!

carrie…I’m so glad to have found your blog! You have inspired me…thank you. I’m making my first batch of yogurt tonight. would you mind sharing culturing recipes/tips/book recommendations?
I will be back
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!!!
