Whats For Dinner Using Pillsbury Grands

With all the offerings at Randalls with Pillsbury products I suggested we should use some of ours for dinner tonight.

Hubby and I made an easy chicken stew and placed over the freshly baked biscuits.

We used 1 1/2 cups of cut up chicken from a Rotasserie Chicken we bought earlier this week.

Placed in a kettle and added 2 cans of chicken gravy. Then we added a handful of frozen mixed vegatables left over from making soup last week.

Baked our biscuits while stew was simmering and then placed stew mixture over the hot Pillsbury Grand biscuits. Was really quite good and will be made again for sure.

What's For Dinner Homemade Chicken Vegetable Soup

I love great deals and when I can get canned soups free or nearly free I grabbed them for a quick lunch. But nothing but nothing beats our homemade Chicken Vegetable Soup.
We buy 1 rotisserie Chicken every week for dinner, sandwiches and as a treat for Spooky the spoiled cat. Really it is for her and she shares.
We are nearing fall so felt like home made soup. Had my dh boil up the bones and make me broth.
Couple of days later time to throw together our soup.
To the broth we add some chicken, 1 small can of chopped Tomatoes, 1/2 tsp of salt , 1 tsp of pepper and a tsp of a mixture of onion and garlic. Let that simmer. Mean time I cook up 1 cup of macaroni shell, drain and add. I know that some think you can cook pasta in soup but I think it soaks up to much of my broth. 20 minutes before we plan to eat we throw in about 1/2 bag of mixed vegetables.
Delicious and we always get 2 good meals out of this. Just add crackers or some rolls.

What's For Dinner Tonight

Even though it is nice to eat out you can get better food and it is so much cheaper at home. Tonight is total comfort food.

We are having Tuna Pasta Salad and biscuits using Bisquick

I make my Tuna Salad the day before we plan to eat so all the flavors can mix. Usually I would put a little celery in it but was none available.

Made the biscuits tonight just 10 minutes before dinner.

Dinner was very tasty and best of all there is plenty of leftovers for another day.

Great Reading on other Sites Money Saving Tips

I was reading a post from Pocket Your Dollars . She had shared an article that she read on Wisebread .... 51 Unusual Money-Saving Tips from Readers .
This article is funny at times and some ideas are downright stealing if people really do some of these ideas.
The other article that I found fun to read was A Cheapskate’s Guide to Eating Out My hubby and I practice many of these since our one pleasure and entertainment is eating out.
We try to eat at lunch time and during the week. Ususally we can eat alot cheaper this way.

Take a look at both of these articles for a laugh and then for some great tips.

I would love to hear from you and how you try to save money either eating out or being frugal.
I for sure rinse out baggies and reuse if possible and turn off the water when brushing my teeth.
