Coming up with ideas for dinners can be exhausting!
How many ways can I make chicken?
Yesterday, I brought Daugher #2 to the grocery store and we put our brains together to come up with something different and tasty for dinner.
We were in the meat section and I saw an already put together kit for pot roast. It came with the meat, carrots, potatoes and onion and it cost a small fortune.
“I can put one of these together with more food but much cheaper!”
So, I found a rump roast and bought the same sides that came in the kit but in larger quantities and we headed out of the store.
We got busy looking for recipes and found this yummy one from Lipton® Recipe Secrets®.
