Simple Soups

LEFT OVERS SOUP - DELICIOUS!

Soups are one of my favorite things to make because they usually don't take a lot of work, they taste good, and they are nutricious. Around Thanksgiving, Dale, my oldest son, told me about a soup that used the turkey carcass, and all your leftovers. To be honest, I couldn't imagine it tasting good, but he assured me it was delicious.

A few weeks ago I roasted a cornish hen, with dressing. I had chicken gravy and vegetables. The next day I had about 1/2 of the chicken leftover with the rest of the fixings. I thought, "I will try the soup Dale told me about", so I put the chicken pieces into broth, added the dressing, the gravy, some carrots, and some other leftover vegetables I had in the fridge. I had a few thin noodles that I also threw into the pot.

The outcome: DELICIOUS! This is a way to use what ever you have in your fridge to turn it into soup. I also think the sage in the dressing really added to flavor.

Do you have some easy, quick and tasty recipes you would like to share with me? I would love to hear from you.

Blessings,
Grandma B

SAVING - YOU CAN DO IT!

Saving money is hard for many of you. You want to but you barely make ends meet now! Here is a quick tip to help you. When you cash your check take a few dollars out for savings before you leave the bank. Put it away! Not in your wallet! You will find you don't even miss it. Even a few dollars a week will begin to add up over time.

Another fun way to save is to have a "My" jar. For me it was a secret place that only I knew about. I would add a dollar or more every now and then and I'd have $20 or $30 before I knew it. When you have enough, open a savings account and don't touch it. Turn it into a game and savings can become fun!
