Frugal Southern Mom

When you think of southern food, what do you normally think about? Is it fried chicken with a side order of creamy homemade potatoes, complimented with a fat fluffy light buttermilk biscuit with a peach bubbling cobbler on the side for dessert? Here in the south we do like fried foods, rich foods and sweet iced tea! Growing up I was used to fried foods, tons of  veggies and especially turnip greens and yes we ate grits for breakfast. One of my favorite meals was Chicken n Dumplins! It takes a bit of time to make, but its the best comfort food around. I make this from scratch so its not really precise on the measurements, just a recipe handed down and adjusted to one's taste. Chicken n Dumplins Chicken breast (4) cooked 1/2  cup celery chopped thin 1/2 cup onions chopped fine 2-3 tablespoons butter 3 cans chicken broth 1 tablespoon corn starch salt and pepper to taste Place chicken breast in large pot with enough water to cover chicken and boil until cooked completel...

Sorry I seem to have been missing in action lately! There has been so much going on at the home front, there doesnt seem to be enough hours in the day to get it all done and to make matters worse, I have a bad case of Spring Fever!! I just want to goof off outside in the garden. My daughter and I went for a walk on Sunday.  It was a beautiful Easter Sunday, the temperture was just right at a low 70, the breeze was gently blowing and the dogs were actually behaving! I guess you could say that, our new lab is not quite a year old yet and he is such a social butterfly, but all in all it was a great Easter. We had a early dinner of baked ham, mashed potatoes and asparagus and for desert we had strawberry and rubarb pie and strawberry trifle. Ok so I have briefly updated you now lets get to freebies! You can become a fan of wheat thins on http://www.facebook.com/wheatthins  and you can get a dollar coupon. Keep you eyes open, especially at Walmart, Walgreens or Publix the...

I went to my sister's house Saturday and she had a new cookbook from the school she teaches at. Wow you would have thought I had found gold or something lol. I love cookbooks! I had to promise the old pinkie promise that I would return it this coming Saturday! So I have been cooking all this week trying out new recipes. Here is a very rich one, that is so easy to make. It taste like a key lime pie, but with less ingredients. I would show you a picture but its all gone. Usually when a pie goes that fast around here, its definitely a keeper recipe. Lime Pie 1 can Eagle cream milk 1 small can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed 1 small cool whip 1 graham cracker crust Combine milk, limeade and Cool whip. Pour into a pie shell. Refridgerate.
