I found this really cool web site. You have to register, but the info is great.
It's called www.stockupfood.com.
You go in and list how many in your family, decide if you want a 3,6 or 12 month goal. I did the 3. It will list the amount you should have on hand. I printed out the sheet, went to my cupboard, checked off what I did have, went back in and "added" what I had. I thought for 3 months I would be ok, Well, according to this worksheet I am only 49% good.
The challenge is to try it and see where you stand.
Let us know and Lets see if we can get all of us ready for a 3 months strethch.

Soup for thought
We all woke up to snow on the ground after yesterday was sunshine. I even took down my cute snow village and started to put up my Valentine stuff. With the snow I felt the need to do some Chicken noodle soup. It makes everything warm and cozy inside.
Start with a large pot of water and add 4 large chicken breast. I use what I have and I want it real meaty. You need a LARGE pot with lots of water to start. You are making the base. I added the last 2 small onions from my garden. I had a bag of carrots that were funny shape. I had no celery so I used my dehydrated ones and use about 2 Tablespoons. If you had fresh it would be about 4 stalks chopped into larger pieces. I added a shake of garlic powder, onion powder and a shake of Poultry seasoning. A good shake of salt and pepper to taste. Add 2 Chicken bouliion cubes. I had a small bunch of Basil that I had dried and crumbled it in. About 2 teaspoon's, I threw in 2 teaspoon's of Cilantro. If you cant tell this is clean the fridge soup.
Let this simmer about an hour till the chicken is cook through well, If you cook it to fast it will be tough. Soup is an all day thing, Enjoy it.Then let cool in broth.
Strain the broth and save the liquid. Throw out the veggies. Chop the chicken into nice bit size pieces. Taste the broth. You may need to salt it or add some Bouliion cubes or powder.
Enjoy the smell- It reminds me of a safe place, family enjoying a good meal and a crackling fire. The one thing I miss from living in the double wide.
Now that the chicken is cooked and the broth is to your taste. Let get down to business.
Depending on your favorite noodle. You can use Egg noodles. They dont need as long a cooking time. Homemade noodles ( never used) I like to use Grandma's Noodles. They are like homemade but are dry. You have to look for them. They come in a celaphane bag with Red lettering.
Now, Chicken chopped, you have fresh carrots and celery and onion. You have strained your broth and got all the nasty looking stuff out. Add all back into the pot and add the noodles. If you need to add more water you may need to adjust your chicken flavoring. It is a trial and error type of thing, but you have to have flavoring in the broth or all is lost.
Cook for 45- 50 minutes till your noodles are done to taste. Enjoy your soup and take time to enjoy the process.
Serve with good crust rolls, bread or make corn bread.
Good luck.

Dinner in 30 min or less Menu
I have a rule that if I can't have dinner on the table in 30 min. or less we will not be making it. (exception is crockpot meals). I also work two nights late so I have to have fast meals for when I get home. With that said here is the menu for this week.
1.Chicken Alfrado
Cut Chicken into small pieces and brown, then add one to two cans of Cream of Mushroom soup to chicken with a large scoop of Sour Cream. Mix well with a little water (depending on how thin you want your soup) Heat till all is hot and serve over noodles (I use any kind that are round, usually not alfrado noodles because the kids can't eat them easily) Add brocolli or other veggies if you like.
2. Chili & Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
3. Spagetti with French Bread or Grands Rolls
4. Baked Potatoes
We like to put chili and cheese on ours, add what your kids will eat
5. Bisquick Chicken and Mac & Cheese
Bread Chicken strips with egg and Bisquick mix, place on cookie sheet and pour melted butter over strips, cook for 20 min. at 350 degrees.
Make Mac & Cheese (Homemade):
16 oz. macaroni
4 Tbsp. flour
4 Tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. garlic salt (if you don't like garlic salt, just use regular)
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 C. milk
1 C. shredded sharp cheddar cheese (I usually don't have sharp on hand, so I just use whatever I have)
2 oz. cream cheese
Cook macaroni according to package directions. Meanwhile, melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle flour over butter and stir until smooth. Add garlic salt and pepper. Add milk, cheese and cream cheese. Stir until cheeses are melted. Reduce heat to low and stir occasionally until macaroni is done. Drain macaroni and combine all. I usually add a little more salt and pepper to taste once it is all combined. (recipe courtesy of Frugal is Fab website)

So today I thought its cold and dreary outside and maybe my Sweetie would like a good lunch.
You see my husband and I have had lunch together for about 15 years now. Not many days have we missed. I know this is a rare occasion for many of us.
I went surfing and came across Pillsbury Cook-off recipe from the early 1970's. See that is my day.
Superspeedway Taco Pie. I have changed it a bit because it calls for Taco Seasoning. Well, there is something in those packets that make Dell so sick. So I changed it and think it is much better. I made it in a smaller portion so as not to have left overs. It all depends on your family. Adjust as needed.

Can soup or fresh made?
One of Casie's recieps calls for a can of Condensed Cream of Chicken soup. I was jumping from blog to blog and found this fantastic girl who makes her own Cream soups with a thing she calls Magic Mix. ( If you come forward I would love to give you credit, because your blog is awsome!)
Anyway I mixed my own and even learned a trick on my own. First the Magic Mix.
2 1/3 cups of Powdered Milk
1 cup All Purpose Flour
2 sticks of Real butter @ room temp.
Put in your mixer or food processor, what ever you have. Blend very well, till it looks like heavy cake mix powder.
Store in refrigerator.
To use your mix.
1 cup Magic Mix
**3/4 broth- this is where I learned a trick- you can use can or box. I made my own with water and boulion flavoring as directed on jar.
1 tsp Parsley
dash of onion salt,
dash of garlic salt- optional
Mix well together in sauce pan on low heat. When it is blended and looking like soup its ready to use.
I ran out of Boulion and went shopping. I found if you buy your spices in the Ethnic isle instead of the Spice isle it is cheaper and most of the time fresher.
Hope you try this and like it.
** Never throw out the water on your veggies, that is where the vitamins are and why waste that?
