So, I read a lot.
I read a lot of blogs, magazines, websites, you name it, I read it...when I find the time. *wink*
So, as I conversed with a BFF, and told her something I had been doing to save time, it hit me: I've collected all of these 'tips' from different places, and I should share them more freely. So, here goes.. I'm going to start a little 'segment' of my blog dedicated to 'Quick Tips'...and it will be called just that. I'll share all sorts of things... some cooking related, some cleaning related, some organizational...just whatever.
Now, let me be the first to say (SHOUT!) that I'm not a great housekeeper. I'm not great at a lot of things that are in my job description as SAHM (stay-at-home-mom)/ Homemaker. BUT, I think I'm continually getting better at it due to tips I stumble on along the way. So, if you have a great tip...please share! I'm always looking to learn!!!
Quick Tip:
About once a week, I put a whole chicken in the Crockpot. Either in the AM, and leave it all day, or I will put in in before I go to bed, and leave it overnight. You could season it all sorts of ways, but I usually put a couple cups of water, and some salt and pepper in there...maybe a bullion cube, and let 'er go! I put that baby in there frozen, to minimize the 'steps' then when she's all cooked up, I will just piece off the chicken (then freeze, make casserole's, whatever). We will often have 3-4 meals off of one (little) bird. These things are so cheap ($3-4), it seems wrong to get so many meals from it! Aaand, if you're up for it, you can also freeze the stock, and use it for soups, other chicken meals, gravy, whatever. Now, let me say that the chicken 'taking apart' is no fun! It can take about 15-20 minutes, and it's a little gross, but it's worth it in the end (I think).
Here's a look at my bird of the day (it makes the house smell all yummy, too):
If you have a 'Quick Tip' to contribute, please leave a comment! I will get in touch with you and I will link your blog here also! Thanks!:)
