Lately, I've made chicken stock over the weekend and frozen it in quart containers as a super healthy alternative to store-bought broths. Granted, it takes several hours to make.... but I find that if I do it once/month on a lazy Sunday I end up with the amount needed to use in the month ahead.The Full Plate Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194589533027136349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004453958589370857.post-53166830949268061452013-02-26T11:08:53.001-08:002013-02-26T11:08:53.001-08:00It's cold here in Michigan, too.

With a family to feed and owning two different businesses, time is always an issue, so I love to find great short-cuts! I still want to retain that homemade feeling for my family, so I utilize a lot of the Lipton soup mixes, and have recently discovered some French sauces that are available online at http://www.morethangourmet.com/pantry-stock-sauces-gourmet-soups. My family loves the recipes I have tried, and I’ve enjoyed the preparation. Just a happy customer and thought I would share. Jeanette Covenderhttp://www.bcpetboarding.comnoreply@blogger.com
