Remember last week when I made this delicious Chicken Stock & Soup?
And the next day I used the vegetables to make this fantastic Chicken Soup With Rice?
After indulging for four servings on the soup, my freezer now contains four more soup servings, six cups of stock, and four cups of shredded chicken meat. And quite a list of recipes to make.
So I took two cups of the chicken meat and let it thaw in the fridge. Look at this delectable goodness.
I combined it with a family-size box of my favorite easy-to-make Mac-n-Cheese.
And after … read the rest. . .

I love chicken soup. I love chicken soup plain. I love chicken soup with noodles. But mostly, I love chicken soup with rice.
So after I made my chicken stock, I knew exactly what my first recipe was going to be. Starting with the base recipe in yesterday’s post, today I made Chicken Soup With Rice.
2 cups chicken stock
2 cups water
2 cups vegetable solids
2 cups shredded chicken
1 cup rice
I heated the ingredients on medium heat for five minutes.

My theme for the Month of July is Chicken. As in, don’t be chicken to reach for goals. Don’t be chicken to ask for what I need. And don’t be chicken to try new things in the kitchen. See how that all wraps up nicely? [Ooh! Wraps. NOTE TO SELF: Add Chicken Wraps to the recipe file.]
I love chicken. I love chicken. And just in case I wasn’t clear, I. Love. Chicken.
I could write an entire cookbooklet with all the chicken recipes in my head. [Promising Project No. 42, yah?]
And of course, I would want to share … read the rest. . .

This isn’t really a recipe, although I’ll tell you in a minute what I made and how I made it. I’m just fairly tickled that it turned out so well.
The other day, Dot was hungering for some authentic Mexican flavors and Del Taco just didn’t fit the bill. I wasn’t about to toss $20 at a waiter for Spanish rice, either, so she had to make do with whatever was in the Stock Pantry.
Taking a notion from her mother (more like a push while saying, “Just go look!”), she returned to the kitchen with several canned goods and … read the rest. . .

I was at a loss what to cook for a quick, cheap, and healthy dinner. For the same reason as everyone else, I don’t typically like the heavier fat-laden fried foods, but last night’s chill in the air begged for something warm and delicious.
I heated up some of my Infused Olive Oil in a skilled, added four pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and let them cook, covered, while I prepared the other foods.
After four minutes, I turned the chicken, sprinkled with a small mix of freshly chopped herbs from my garden (sage, chives, basil, oregano, … read the rest. . .
