Making do

Wednesday was a busy day for me, but I was determined to make something tasty and somewhat healthy for dinner. I checked the freezer, not much there but a package of boneless chicken thighs. That's a start. I had a jar of wild rice in the pantry, perhaps I could make chicken rice soup? No, that wouldn't work, I didn't have celery or carrots. I did have an onion, a package of mushrooms and a can of low sodium cream of chicken soup. I was on to something. Bring out the crock pot.




I tossed in all the ingredients (minus the rice) along with some skim milk and seasonings.  I then went on my merry way.
                                   

Is anyone still with me?





I was afraid of that.


Moving on...

When I returned home later in the day the house smelled great. The gravy seemed a little thin so I added a few spoonfuls of light sour cream. That did the trick. I cooked the rice, heated up some frozen veggies, and dinner was ready. Oh, I also found a frozen baguette in the freezer. Bonus.


Voila!
Light creamy chicken and wild rice. I am not sure how accurate the light part is, but it makes me feel better to call it that. 😃


Thanks for reading this self-indulgent post! Have a great Saturday.

May These Brighten Your Day


This would be a lot easier than exercising and dieting...


TW, I think both you and I know what this is like!



 There is a lot of truth in this one...




 I could tell you a couple of stories to back this one up... ; ))


Yep! Making supper and doing housework. 




I especially love this one. The other day I received a letter in the mail that was so beautiful and so kind that this is exactly how I felt. I will tell you about it in the comments. 




I am sending you all hugs.

Things to ponder part deux

I thought everyone might enjoy another post about things to think about..


  1. Would a fly that loses its wings be called a walk?



  1. Isn’t it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do “practice”?




  1. What is a “free” gift?  Aren’t all gifts free?



  1. Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, only to be troubled and insecure?



  1. Why do feet smell and noses run?




  1. Why is it called a HAMBURGER, when it’s made out of BEEF?



How much deeper would the ocean be, if SPONGES didn’t grow in it?





  1. What do little birdies see, when they get knocked unconscious?


I swear I am done with these. Have a great day everyone!
