Cooking and grocery shopping

First of all I want to say thank you to my niece in law Jessica.  She took me shopping on Friday which turned out to be her 16th Wedding Anniversary.  They still had time to go out and celebrate which is a feat in itself since they have 5 children.

When I went grocery shopping I managed to get a good deal on green peppers, onions, carrots, zucchini and mushrooms.  I couldn't help but buy those and it was a good feeling.  So now I had all of those veggies and they would all go bad around the same time if I didn't do something about it.  This is the reason why I love my vacuum sealer.  I pulled it out and cut up my veggies and now I have a bag of green peppers, zucchini, and onions in the freezer.  I didn't put them all there because I also decided to make some soup.


I had a can of chicken stock so in the crock pot it went and soon a bag of carrots joined it plus some zucchini and mushrooms.  I cooked that until the carrots were almost cooked and then added in some pre cooked smoked chicken strips that I had also bought.  Then I thought it needed something else so in went a cup of wild rice.  It turned out pretty good and now I have soup for later in the week.

I also have veggies in the freezer so it's a win win.

Later this week I will be posting a lot of recipes because they are sure popping up lately.  It's that time of the year.  :)

Everybody have fun and keep checking back.
