Homemade Orange Sherbet

My daughter reminded me of a summer favorite. It is starting to get warm here.

I put all of this in a large Tupperware bowl and pop it in the freezer. I take it out and shake it every half hour till frozen.

2 cans Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
6 (10 oz.) orange soda pop or 1 - 2 liter

Pour orange soda into ice cream freezer and add Eagle Brand milk. Stir it up with long handle spoon and freeze. NOTE: Any flavor soda can be used for variations of flavor.

You could use generic sweetened condensed milk. I use the 2 liter. Strawberry is good too. I figure it is .59 for the generic soda and .99 for each can of generic milk so not a bad treat.

Roast

I got roast for $1.69 a pound. This is a reasonable price for the roast. I picked up a large roast because I am using it for three meals, I have another recipe for the meat.

Day one

Roast and Potatoes and Carrots

Throw it all in the crock pot a cup of water and onion soup mix. This is so simple. Let it cook for 6-8 hours on low. Slice and serve

Cut leftovers in 2 chunks. Potatoes and carrots go into one with the chunks of meat.

Day two

Shepard's Pie

Cube meat. Toss in flour Put into a pie plate. Put 1-2 cups of meat juice. Then put carrots and potatoes in pie plate. Mix up a package of instant potatoes or some leftover mashed potatoes. Cover the pie plate. Then bake at 350 15-20 minutes or till it is brown on top.


Day three

Cube up the meat. Put some beef broth in it the pan and make the gravy with some corn starch. You can also use a jar of gravy. I use frozen noodles and make them and then mix it in the meat and gravy.


Day four if you have leftovers. Take the meat and shred it up and then put it in BBQ sauce and put on buns.


This is not left overs but planed overs.

Leftovers?

Okay so you have this food left over in your fridge....WHAT do you do with it?



Well they are not left over they are planed overs



So what do we do. Planned left overs, If I make a chicken I will roast it and then serve it. I make Sticky Chicken in my Crock pot



I make Chicken Noodle Soup with the left over chicken



I take my left over chicken and chicken broth and then put it in a pot with my carrots celery. Then I add frozen noodles in it. It makes a easy meal and yummy.



Crock pot Roast Sticky Chicken Recipe

4 tsp salt

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp thyme

1 tsp white pepper

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 large roasting chicken

1 cup chopped onion

In a small bowl, thoroughly combine all the spices. Remove giblets from chicken, clean the cavity well and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture into the chicken, both inside and out, making sure it is evenly distributed and down deep into the skin. Place in a resealable plastic bag, seal and refrigerate overnight.When ready to cook chicken put the onions into the cavity, put the bird into the crock pot and do not add any liquid. As the cooking process goes on it will produce it's own juices. Cook on low 8 to 10 hours and it will be falling off the bone tender.

What is for dinner?

Well I was given this recipe by one of my online friends. VERY EASY

Supper for $3.00

Yesterday I made Cabbage Casserole. I figured it cost under $3.00 for this meal and it was fairly easy to make. My children will eat just about anything so that is good. My prices are from Aldis this week. This was served with rice. It is getting harder and harder to make it supper for under $3.00. I use tround turkey because I can get a roll of it for under a dollar. It is one pound of meat.

If we had gone out for supper we could have easily spent $20. I rarely eat out with my children. If we go out to supper my children order water. Soda is so expensive and not good for them.

Cabbage Casserole

1 lb of ground turkey (.99)
1/2 onion chopped (.25)
1 head of cabbage chopped (1.00)
1 can tomato soup (.50)
Salt and pepper to taste

Cook ground turkey and onion.
Cook the cabbage for 3 minutes in boiling water.
Spray the liner of a crockpot.
Layer in crock pot.
I cooked for 4 hours on low. If you are going to cook it longer I would add a little water.

I served this with rice.
