One of my husband’s FAVORITE recipes lately has been chicken pot pie. I honestly think he would eat it every day if he could! So today when I saw that Liz from Fresh Plate shared a new recipe for Chicken Pot Pie Pasta I was excited. Hopefully this will be a good meal to add into the rotation so we can have chicken pot pie a little less often. Does it look like a recipe your family will love? What are a few of your family’s favorite recipes?
Chili’s: Kids Eat Free on Tuesday 6/14
Print this coupon for Kids Eat Free at Chili’s on Tuesday, June 14 with the purchase of one adult entree. The great thing about the “Kids Eat Free” promotions is that up to two kids can eat free per one adult entree purchase. How great is that? As always, I recommend calling your local Chili’s to confirm that they are participating in this promotion.
Surprising Ways to Store Produce
While watching Dr.Oz today I found out some surprising ways to store produce to retain their texture and nutrients. I take no credit for this information I’m just it passing along to you.
Cucumbers should be stored on the counter. When you cool them down they get yellow and watery.
Lemons and limes should be stored in the fridge. Lemons and limes stored in a plastic bag in the fridge will last up to three weeks. Also, the thinner the skin is the juicier the lemon/lime is.
Onions should be stored on the counter. In cool temperatures their starches turn to sugar, just like potatoes. Stored on the counter or in a dry and dark place onions can last up to a month.
Tomatoes should be stored on the counter. When you put them in the fridge the water expands a little destroying the texture and they become more acidic, destroying the taste. Kept out of direct sunlight on the counter tomatoes should last 4-5 days.
What do you think, were you surprised by any of these like I was?
