Ever made a salad in a jar? Very portable and makes a great make ahead meal. I made my wife and I a salad last night for our lunch today. Here’s how I did it. You start with what you want on top so when you put it onto a plate or in a bowl it comes out correctly. Tomatoes Diced Feta cheese cheese crumbles Bacon bits Diced ham Carrots Yellow pepper Celery Cucumber Chopped green leaf lettuce on top Put a lid on it and refrigerate. I put mine in a bowl and served with Western dressing. So good!!

I had 1 chicken breast, some sweet potatoes, and 2 slices of bacon I needed to use. CHICKEN BACON SWEET POTATOES. I peeled and diced into cubes my sweet potatoes, added a little olive oil and salt and pepper. Cooked in air fryer for 15 minutes at 350. I heated my cast iron skillet 🍳 and cooked my 🥓. I removed the bacon and used the bacon grease to pan fry my chicken. I prepared the chicken by cutting it into cubes adding 1 T of olive oil and stirring it well to coat. I then sprinkled with my salt, pepper, garlic seasoning and a bit of smoked paprika. Stir well. Cooked for about 20 minutes. It was awesome!!

You asked for it. Here it is. I have included a simple instruction sheet. Soon, I will create a video tutorial to walk you through each step. Note: when you click on the excel spreadsheet, it is best to go to the right top corner and download the file.

My last post was about food inventory. Would anyone be interested in a Free excel spreadsheet that you could use as a master inventory list? Please let me know. Thanks

One way to save $ is by using what you have on hand. Saturday morning I was inspired to do an inventory of everything we have on hand. It starts with a list. I started my inventory then decided I should clean and organize my cabinets. I stayed with my spices. I took everything out cleaned and then alphabetically put my spices back. After I took inventory I uploaded it into ChatGPT to create a 7 day menu for breakfast lunch and dinner. It worked well. I’ll have to change a few things on the list but I have 21 meals and won’t have to buy anything.
