I found this recipe a few days ago for Soy Chicken and Ramen Noodles and wanted to give it a try. We have plenty of ramen noodles here and anything to make them better, I am all for. Has anyone used Mirin? I am unaware of what that is so I excluded it from the recipe. We also used garlic powder instead of garlic gloves. I just made the ramen noodles, I didn't add the egg, green onions or seaweed. Ingredients: 3 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp sugar 1/4 cup chicken broth 1 tbsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp black pepper 1 tbsp avocado oil 1 large boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite sizes 2 portions ramen noodles (you won't add in the seasoning packet) 1 tbsp sesame oil Directions: Combine all ingredients for the sauce in a mixing bowl - soy sauce, sugar, chicken broth, and garlic powder. Set aside. Heat a medium size pan over medium high heat, add avocado oil and swirl to coat. Add chicken and sear for about 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Flip over and cook f

My cousin shared another recipe last week that I just had to try - Wendy's Chili . Now I enjoyed this one but there were a few hiccups where I learned a few lessons for next time. I personally don't think this tasted like Wendy's Chili so I renamed it. I replaced the tomato juice with spaghetti sauce and didn't use celery or green pepper. I also replaced the onion with onion powder. This could be why it didn't taste the same. Apparently I had the wrong burner on the stove turned on and I was wondering why it wasn't cooking :/ This went on for like an hour. So that was problem number one - embarrassing I know. Then I had it on the stove for 30 minutes and the bottom of the pan burned so maybe spray the pan beforehand or maybe use a little it of vegetable oil with it so it doesn't stick? Those were my lessons. Now onto the recipe. I actually enjoyed this one with some Saltine crackers. Kevin didn't care for it. Hopefully yours turns out better after my m

This recipe was another one that was found in one of the groups I'm in on Facebook. Credit goes to Ronni F. His recipe calls for frozen meatballs but we made ours by hand and added seasonings to ours. Besides that, this recipe is only 4 ingredients - meatballs, penne pasta, spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese. Ingredients: -Ground beef to form the meatballs -We did not measure but here are the seasonings we used - breadcrumbs, salt, basil leaves, pepper, italian seasoning, seasoned salt, onion powder and garlic powder -3/4 of a box of penne pasta -1 1/2 cans of spaghetti sauce -Half a bag of mozzarella cheese (you can do as much as you would like) Directions: Take the ground beef and form into balls as big or small as you would like. In a bowl, combine the seasonings together to your liking and then roll the meatball into the seasonings. Spray a pan and turn stove on to medium heat. Let the meatballs cook until they are done all the way (I know the photo doesn't

Today I am hoping to provide you guys with two recipes - Chicken Fried Rice and a Penne Meatball Bake. I meant to do a blog yesterday but I didn't get on my computer at all yesterday (for once) because of how busy I was - Jace got to meet his 4th grade teacher and she went over his Chromebook and distance learning that he will be starting on Monday! And then I went to Dollar General because they are having a HUGE Clearance Sale this weekend. If you are curious about Penny Shopping or Clearance Shopping at DG, you will want to read this blog -  https://abbielynn02.blogspot.com/2019/06/penny-shopping-at-dollar-general.html After DG I went to Smart and Final to get more groceries, came home, unloaded groceries and started making dinner. I also watched the recorded Jazz game and they are KILLING it in the playoffs you guys! I am so proud of my team! Anyways...back to the recipe. I made this last night and it was super easy. The original recipe was from The Recipe Critic and I don&

Am I the only one that has never heard of Chicken Tetrazzini? The only reason why I decided to make it was because I had all of the ingredients at home. I love pasta but I am picky when it comes to pasta recipes. I have to say this was definitely a family favorite! Kevin and I literally cleared our plates and I even had leftovers for lunch today. The original recipe I don't have a link for because it was a comment on a post in a group I am in. I changed up some things including measurements since we only needed enough for two of us :) Ingredients: 8 oz spaghetti noodles 6 tbsp butter, soft but not melted 5 chicken tenders, cooked and diced 2 cans of cream of chicken soup 1/3 cup of sour cream 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1/2 cup chicken broth 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp onion powder one layer parmesan cheese (maybe 1/2 cup) 1 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese So many ingredients make this so delicious and creamy! Directions: Cut/dice chicken tenders into pieces and c

It's June 2020 and we just moved in to an all-electric manufactured home. I was told there was no gas bill and no water bill, only electric. We received our first power bill in July 2020 and it was $391! For two adults and one child, that did not seem right. PLUS, I was enrolled in a CARE program that took 30% off our bill every month meaning our original bill would have been $508.30! I work from home but I don't run the lights and TV and A/C all day. As soon as I was told that it will be this same amount in the following months (it's almost 100 degrees here too and I know the A/C is a big part of it) if we don't make some changes. I know the standard changes like not running your dishwasher or laundry as often, unplug things when you aren't using them, but I wanted to dive a little bit deeper into what I specifically did and hopefully this can help you as well: - We have a lot of natural light in our home so I decided to just leave the lights off during the day a

I think this is the first meal where every single one of us LOVED it. I guess it was called Million Dollar Chicken Alfredo for a reason. I had two servings and Kevin and Jace each had one and we have a little bit of leftovers. We didn't add cottage cheese in ours because we don't like cottage cheese that much and we used Swiss Cheese instead of Provolone Cheese slices. This will be on my list to make again. Seriously LOVED it!! I used an extra large baking dish so I only used about half of the dish which is why you don't see the full baking dish in the photos :) Ingredients: 9oz fettuccine pasta 2 tbsp butter 5oz cream cheese, softened 1/4 cup sour cream 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 1/4 tsp italian seasoning 3 cups shredded cooked chicken chicken broth (enough to cover chicken in a crockpot) 1 15oz jar alfredo sauce 4 slices of swiss cheese 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded Directio
