Chicken and chit-chat

Chicken and Rice

By Shays_creations homemade cardsPublished 2 years ago 3 min read

Good day one and all

I hope you are doing well.

I am Shay,

Here is a first for me. I have been enjoying the food I make for YouTube.

I have been told I am a hoarder of canned goods. This Chicken meal here was made with canned chicken breasts. I bought it from Walmart.com I washed one and added the entire can of another. I thought to make a simple meal. Who does not like chicken and rice right"? I added a can of crushed tomato. I was thinking something needed to adorn this meal. I topped it off with a sweet can of corn. Which happens to be a favorite of mine.

I let that bubble a few mins then I added in some Korr seasoning. Who does not love the magical way that flavors a pot? I then tasted it again which was almost right. I had to top that with a few sprinkles of sugar. My taste buds don't like tangy or sour foods. It was perfect after that. I forgot to mention the yellow onion. I chopped that up which was also added.

The flavor was outstanding. I had enough leftover Jasmine rice. I heated that in the microwave. I could not really eat at that time. I tend to eat very little to, be honest. I can't find my real appetite these days. Later in the evening, I did manage to eat half a bowl. I have been fixing frugal meals for over a year now.

I have been very pleased with the comments I get on YouTube. I am a newbie so I am not perfect. Today I thought to cook a beef meal I want. If you're having a time of hardship. Try making a few frugal meals. Remember we can't always have what we want. We can at times have what we need.

Going to bed hungry is not good. I have been told by a lady she never thought she would never buy canned potatoes. I am glad she now feels she can. Another person today said her family loved the battered fried chicken. I can't deny it is one of my favorites. There are times when my body won't allow me to stand.

These are the times that changed my mindset on meals. Frugal and filling I always say. I love reading about others at home. I plan to sit here and see what you are up to. I want to give you a little background on myself.

I am 53, single, living alone. Disabled with fibromyalgia, neuropathy, Gout, arthritis, bipolar and anxiety. I have lived a loner life for years. I tried to change that over the last year. I found it was not for me. I love reading online as well as crafting. I am blessed to know you read this. If you like it let me know.

I would not mind sharing another frugal meal I love. To be honest I never enjoyed cooking. These days I am looking forward to my next meal. I have to say this site is another I am enjoying. The magic of words here is amazing. I would like to end with thank you for sharing your time with me.

The weather is changing here in New York. I hope you get out to enjoy something there. I am thinking of taking a brisk walk around the block. Have a wonderful day and eat well. Thank you again.

It might be fun for you to stock up on a few canned goods. Open a few to make something yummy.
