11:45am

Earlier this morning I put 3 chicken leg quarters

in the crock pot and they are done now and cooling.

I'll debone them and remove the skin

and use the meat for a chicken & stuffing casserole.

For dessert/snack I found a package of 

a dozen frosted sugar cookies at Walgreens marked down

75% off to .74 cents in the Valentine area.

Hubby just called and said he found about 15 cans

of food today.  I love when he finds stuff at work.

About a month ago I found an almost new pots

and pans set with glass lids and yesterday

I boxed it all up and gave it to mom

for her birthday.  There was 2 skillets,

2 sauce pans (not shown) and a large pot.

Plus instead of cake I gave her 1 blueberry pie

and 1 cherry pie I found marked down at

Kroger for .99 cents each.

I kept the other 2 blueberry pies and put them in the freezer.

Ya just never know when you'll have a

potluck, some other event or holiday come up

and need something to take at the last minute.

Because the last minute is usually when

hubby tells me he needs something for work.

4:00pm

Got supper ready for the oven.

How to make Chicken & Stuffing Casserole....

Cut up chicken and place it in the bottom of a casserole dish.

Spread 2 cans of cream soups on top of chicken.

I used cream of chicken and cream of celery.

Sprinkle 2 boxes of dry stuffing mix on top of cream soups.

Then pour about 1 - 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth over top.

I used the broth that was in the crock pot leftover

from making the chicken.

Once the broth was almost cooled I threw in a bunch

of ice cubes to harden and remove the fat

from the top.  It cause the broth to gel some

if you wonder what's on top.

Then pour about 1/3rd cup of melted butter on top.

Bake 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes.

You could also sprinkle some shredded cheese on top

once it's baked.

Chicken $2.25

(I used 3 chicken leg quarters from a 10 pound bag

of FMV Kroger brand that was .68 cents a pound)

2 boxes stuffing $1.00

2 cans cream soup $2.00

butter .25 cents

TOTAL COST TO MAKE $5.50

.91 cents a serving.

This should make enough for supper for 4

and 2 lunches.
