    Easy Homemade Chicken Stock Recipe

    Easy Homemade Chicken Stock Recipe I’ve planned for quite some time to share my homemade chicken stock recipe (I even took the photo shown here a very long while back). Anyway, after my 12-year-old son saying how much he loved my broth at least four times tonight during supper, I felt inspired to share it with you all because I believe good chicken broth is the key to making delicious soups….and it’s so easy to do.   It literally only takes a couple of minutes to toss everything together; after that there isn’t much maintenance at all to do. Tips: *I use celery to munch on during the week for snacks…so…

    How to Break the Paper Towel Habit

    How to Break the Paper Towel Habit On “Thrifty Thursday” I thought I would address the subject of paper towel waste.  I decided that this was another area where I could save a few more pennies.  Paper towels wipe up small messes and are just tossed into the trash…hence you can just imagine hearing the little “cha-ching” going on at the paper towel manufacturers.
