I'm Learning

Thank God for whoever invented pinterest. Since I came from a background that was as domestic as a lumberjack, it's safe to say it's been an interesting journey since being married these past 6 years. I've learned to do laundry and iron, dishes, cook and see and am still learning.

I caught a pin on making your own chicken stock. The stuff in the store is expensive and full of goodness knows what, plus you still need the chicken. But, if you buy a whole chicken at 99 cents/lb and a bag of carrots and celery for $1 each, you can make your own - and keep the meat!

So, last night I made my first stock and deboned the cooked meat from the chicken. All while about to throw up an with two toddlers hanging off of me. I made 5 containers of stock to freeze and got two bags of shredded chicken to cook with. Not too shabby if you ask me.

I'm on a kick of trying to pre-make foods. My sweet husband has been working 17 hour days trying to settle a multimillion case, and I just feel like I'm floating in between all of my appointments, church activities and the kids. In order to help me on those late nights, it'd be great to just grab a meal and warm it up.
