Instead I used Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancake Mix.

That's not going to fly. This morning I added 6 ice cubes and 1/4 cup milk and it tasted fine. What did you all do to fix it?

Canned chicken is specified for two meals, but I find canned chicken to be generally expensive—and sometimes salty. So I cook my own. Here's how:


1 Three-pound bad frozen, boneless, skinless chicken breast

8 C water

1 T chicken bouillon crystals


Dump everything into the slow cooker (no need to thaw chicken!) and cook on high for about six hours or on low overnight. Pull it out hot, shred it with a fork, put it in a container and refrigerate.

I get the chicken at Wal-Mart. Last week it was on sale for $5.00 per bag. Smile

And most were thin! Yell I was certainly an exception.

Sometimes age and lots of kids and all the other things that wreak havoc with our bodies, we just give up and resign ourselves to live the rest of our lives in pudginess. But I say, "No! We aren't dead yet!"

I'd love to link up with some of you other, great, determined "seasoned" women! Let's support each other!
