Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. I share with you what’s happening with me – and I LOVE to hear about what’s happening with you.
It’s Friday. Finally. Hope you’re having a good week. Yesterday I spent a good eight hours making a ton of freezer meals with my Zaycon chicken. I’ll have to give you the final tally later, but I have plain shredded chicken, barbecue shredded chicken, enchilada shredded chicken, tequila-lime chicken, spicy Asian chicken and chicken parmesan. At one point I had two crockpots going and the dehydrator running (mangoes and strawberries!). By the end of the day I was so tired of chicken and food and the kitchen, but I was relieved to be done. Whew. I suppose that’s the idea behind freezer meals – work really, really hard all at once so that on nights when you’re busy, tired or indifferent you can pull a meal out of the freezer and cook it with zero work.
Don’t be too impressed. I have a list of things I’m totally neglecting. And I think I’ll share one with you next week. I’m working on that post.
We took the baby chickens outside last night for a little field trip to the backyard. I’ll share some photos of them in the next couple days. They are getting so stinkin’ big.
Two days to apply to be a Fred Meyer or Albertsons expert. If you shop either of these stores weekly, you are a longtime couponer, and you are reliable, I recommend you check out my recruiting post. I’ve already received a few amazing cover letters and applications – it’s going to be hard to pick!
There is a great thread over on the Queen Bee Facebook page about traveling to Disneyland – we got a ton of feedback from readers and I lamented about the things at Costco that I think I want, but don’t really need.
