Recipe Share & tips

Since so many people are about to lose benefits, I thought we could all contribute to a thread of recipes and other tips that might help us get by until SNAP is restored, if ever.

I'll start: Homemade Chicken Soup

12-18 cups of water 2-4 Chicken breaks (can be thighs or legs, cooked or frozen) 1 Chicken bullion cube 1 sazon flavor packet Salt and Pepper to taste Choose 1-3: Pasta, Rice, and/or potatoes And vegetables you like

Combine all ingredients together (except pasta and rice) and boil for 45minutes-1 hour.

Notes: only Potatoes require 1 hour cooking time. This works for beef too. This serves as meals for 2 people for a day and a half.

My tip: There are several videos on YouTube showing how to live on $35/week buying food at dollar tree.
