I love WinCo. But that’s not news, right? I love that they love me, too.
Ask me any day of the week, and I’ll tell you, I’m in love with their Bulk Bins. You can buy as much, or as little, as you need. Are you shopping for one basic recipe, or hosting a large dinner party? They’ve got you covered.
From pastas and starches to snacks and candies, buying in bulk is crazy economical.
My favorite is their long white rice. It’s a staple in my house. At just pennies per pound, I can pick up five pounds of … read the rest. . .

Last Tuesday we celebrated our recent successes, NOLA style. If you missed that post, you can read it here. I had a blast shopping for Mardi Gras decor, mixing up Hurricane mocktails, and feeding my guests with the great food provided by Zatarain’s.
How great was it of them to send me a box full of their rice mixes and seasonings? I chose to make the Brown Rice Jambalaya, Garden Vegetable Rice, and my salmon with the Blackened Seasonings mix.
What I love love love about Zatarain’s:

And then I bought my Aroma Houseware’s 6-Cup Rice Cooker.
It’s small. Convenient. And on a day like today when the outside temperature reached over 100 degrees, I didn’t have to turn my oven or stove on to feed my family a healthy, hearty, warm meal.
The rice comes out moist and full every time. … 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.
And the result is 8 cups of a hearty, delicious soup. I froze 4 cups … read the rest. . .

Now that we’re in October and starting the “Busy Season”, this month’s recipes will center on those quick and easy, good for you meals that my family loves. All are five ingredients or less, making them inexpensive as well.
This first recipe came about years ago when my car was in the shop, I had few groceries in the shop, and a hungry daughter (not to mention self). I had to make do with what I had. It turned out so well, it became a favorite.
What I love about this, is that it’s so … read the rest. . .
