Tips:
- Frozen Yogurt Popsicle – Stick a popsicle stick into the center of a container of yogurt, leaving foil the lid on. Freeze.
- Fast Frosting – If you don’t have time or ingredients to frost your cake, lay a paper doily on it then dust with powdered sugar. Carefully remove the doily and you’ll have a sweet topping with a pretty pattern!
- Freeze Blueberries – Freeze blueberries in the basket they come in. Do not wash them first. Wrap it all in foil or plastic wrap. This helps them keep their color and shape better.

My mother used to make the no bake ice box cake but instead of
graham crackers she used layers of vanilla wafers. They give a
good taste to the cake.
You can also make your own taco seasoning and not buy those overpriced packages. Here’s the recipe – make in bulk and store in a glass jar.

Just wanted to say I used your recipe for Apple Crisp, from your “Dinning on a Dime” cookbook. I had just picked fresh Saskatoons in the garden and substituted them in place of the apples. So good! I have since made this recipe 3 times using the free fruit! Dh loves it ( and he is a picky eater).
Thanks again for some great, easy recipes. I use the cookbook on a regular basis.
So glad you liked the recipe Pat. I am curious what are Saskatoons? I don’t think we that those here?
No saskatoons?? Oh, you don’t know what you’re missing!
We have them plentiful here in Canada, and I imagine the northern US would have them too. They grow in bushes/trees, and are similar to blueberries but a bit different. They can grow wild or be cultivated. They make excellent jams, syrups and fruit preserves too. They are among my favourite to forage for, next to chokecherries and pincherries.
Oh they sound yummy but of course I love any kind of berry. I have not heard of pincherries either. Although here in Kansas we have very few berries that grow well wild here. I will never forget the first time I went to the northwest and saw millions of blackberry bushes growing wild. I thought I had died and went to heaven.
Note on Rotel tomatoes. Be sure you get MILD ones or the shredded
chicken could be too hot (spicy) for some people. I have ruined a few dishes with
food being too hot —especially for kids.
No water needed with the chicken tacos?
No Susan you don’t the juice from the canned tomatoes and chicken is enough
An easy substitution for the Rotel tomatoes that’d make the dish potentially even cheaper is use salsa…I picked up a 48-oz container of salsa for $3.99 and frozen chicken breasts for $1,49/lb!! (I’m in CA and I didn’t even have to look at a sale ad…just hit up the local discount grocery store) so I can get more recipes out of that. To the poster who said she’d ruined recipes by making them too spicy, dairy products such as sour cream are good for cutting down on spice levels.
