So I was clickety clicking around this morning and found this website called www.hillbillyhousewife.com it has cheap ways to cook and feed your family. I haven't looked a whole bunch but one recipe caught my eye -Chicken Rice a Roni- because my kids think it is such a treat when it is on sale and I make it. I am adding the recipe here on my post and will try it later this week. Right now I have sick kids (2 so far, but with 5 I am sure it won't stop there!) so I am not going to try any new recipes.
- 3/4 cup long grain brown or white rice
- 1/4 cup broken spaghetti (or just use more rice)
- 1 tablespoon dry onion
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning or thyme
- 1 tablespoon dry parsley
- 3 chicken flavored bouillon cubes or 1 tablespoon powdered bouillon
Combine the rice and all of the other ingredients in a resealable plastic container. I like to use zip-lock bags. Label and Seal and the container. Store on the pantry shelf. This is enough for 1 package of mix. Make several at a time for the most conveneince.
To Prepare:
- 2 tablespoons margarine
- 1 package of Chicken Style Rice & Roni Mix
- 2-1/2 cups water
In a 2-quart saucepan combine the margarine, Rice Mix and water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Place a lid on the pot. Reduce the heat to the lowest possible flame. Simmer, covered until done or for about 45 minutes for brown rice or 20 minutes for white rice. Serve hot.
Let me explain....Rick, and I and his cousin Tiffani organized a volleyball tournament to raise money for JoAnn's Relay for Life team. We had 15 teams!!! Games started @ 9 am and finished up around 9 pm. It was an exhausting but rewarding day.
