This recipe Bill sent to us, is to help everyone have a good meal, and stretch a dollar to boot! Let’s take a look at what Bill’s cooking up for us today!

Here is one of my quick, simple, and CHEAP ones. Hope you can use it. It’s cheap eats!



Bill’s Californi, Rice-A-Roni

  • 1 box of Rice-A-Roni chicken flavor. ($1.00)
  • 

1 Package of chicken thighs ($8.00 for a family pack of a dozen)
Take out 4, package and freeze the rest for later use. (Don't waste your money on boneless or skinless ones) Run some warm water to rinse the thighs, and remove the skin. Place on a saucer or whatever. Season them the way you like. I usually use Cajun, or garlic and herb. 

Brown the Rice-A-Roni as stated on the package. Place the chicken in the pan on top of the Rice-A-Roni. Add the # from the package and ONLY 2 cups of water. Cover and let simmer as stated on the package. You end up with a dinner for two real cheap, basically around 5 bucks. I have been known to dice up some onion and bell pepper and add it for variety.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!

Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end.  But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.

Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.

Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
