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.
Good morning! How is your week going? We’re trying to take it easy around here today. My son came home from school early yesterday with a sore throat and light fever. He took a three-hour nap and went to bed early (both rare occurrences for a 6-year-old energetic boy!). So I’m hoping we get him rested and well quickly. My daughter doesn’t seem to have it . . . yet, so that’s good. Are you and your family members healthy and well? I hope so!
Yesterday around noon I get a call that I was late to pick up my 80 pounds of Zaycon chicken. What?! They moved the date to yesterday (from next Monday) and I completely missed the email notification and the text messages they sent. Totally my fault. Anyway, the nice Zayon truck driver waited 10 minutes for me to get over there and pick it up. So I spent yesterday afternoon trimming and packing chicken for the freezer. Lucky for me both my mom and my aunt helped out and we had it done in under an hour – which went by quickly since we were gabbing the whole time. I didn’t bother with the Food Saver, we just did Ziploc freezer bags. We were completely out of chicken, so I’m so glad to be stocked back up for a good 3-4 months! Read my tips for processing Zaycon chicken here. Did you order Zaycon chicken this time around?
We had out-of-town company over for dinner last night and we had taco night. I’m telling you – this is one of the best FRUGAL group meals ever! I made up a big batch of meat (just so happens it was moose from my dad in Alaska), homemade spanish rice, slow cooker refried beans and then as many toppings as you’d like – avocados, tomatoes, shredded lettuce, olives, sour cream, shredded cheese, salsa, onions and cilantro. Serve with chips on the side if people want to go nacho-style. It’s a great meal because it’s inexpensive and it’s flexible – people can make their tacos how they like them. Another great group meal is baked potatoes – which you can do in the Crockpot and serve with similar toppings! What are your favorite group meal ideas?
