Cheap Coleslaw Mix
I bought a huge bag of coleslaw mix at Sam's Friday for $1.50.... yes $1.50.
I made Texas Coleslaw with it and tonight made this.
Inside Out Eggrolls
4 oz skinless, boneless chicken breast shredded
1/2 bag coleslaw mix(4 cups)
1 tsp sesame oil
1/4 white onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp fresh ginger
salt, soy sauce
Directions
Heat sesame oil, add onions. Cook 5 minutes, add garlic and ginger saute 30 seconds. Add in coleslaw and soy sauce, cook until cabbage wilts, add in chicken. Season with extra soy sauce if needed.
Split it in half. NI 124/3/3
I still have some mix left. Any ideas?
ETA: OMH! Is this good. Forget about figuring out what to do with the rest of the mix. I'm using it to make more of this stuff. Oh and just a FYI- I didn't have soy sauce. *gasp* This is made without soy sauce or the fresh ginger and it is awesome!!!!

I tried the Green Giant of this and it was good, but too small! I wanted more! The GG one has a light butter sauce, if you have to have butter try a butter spray on it.

CrockPot Chicken Broth
I've been planning on doing this forever... well tonight is the night. I'm getting a rotesierre chicken tonight for supper, tonight I will NOT toss out the carcass.
1 chicken carcass
2 carrots
3 celery stalks
1 onion
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme, basil and/or sage
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
Directions
Break some of the chicken bones.
Chop (no need to peel) the carrots into large chunks.
Chop the celery and the onion as well.
Put all the ingredients in a slow cooker. Any size will do, but preferably at least 4 quarts.
Fill the crockpot 3/4 full with water, cover, then set for 10 hours on low.
After 10 hours, add salt if you wish, then turn the crockpot off and let the broth cool for half an hour.
Strain out the meat and vegetables and discard them.
Chill the stock in the fridge overnight and skim off the fat.
Put the stock in baggies, label with date and amount, then freeze.
I will let this cook over night and then chill it tomorrow for fat skimmage. ewwwww LOL So by tomorrow night I should have nice freezer portions of fat free chicken broth to use in recipes instead of spending over $1 a can right now.
