had clinicals last night, but before hand, i went to aldi's and got the rest of my groceries - went over budget by $3, but i "made up" the money via popcans that i returned after class, so its all good. except my bank account is smaller :(
but i made white chicken chili today, put it in the crockpot to heat it up...i guess i coulda done it in the stock pot, but i don't know if its big enough, and they're both dirty...doesn't help :P
i cooked chicken breasts, about 3 or 4 of them, and shredded them with two forks (cuz they were boiling hot!) and put 1/2 jar med salsa, 1/2 jar mild salsa, 1 48oz jar randalls northern beans (white kind) (i'm sure you could soak your own; i'm not THAT ambitious...), mozz cheese, 1 tsp cumin and chicken broth. i do use the juice from the beans, and add broth as needed. i did add too much broth, but TJ was "ok" with it.
he said its to be added to the "keep" list...:D adding salsa instead of using individual items like jalapenos, tomatos, etc, saves LOTS of time :D

grocery shopping
i'm still alive
haven't been cooking; been busy with class
but on the menu this week is clinicals and white chicken chili. i just need some salsa...theres some in the house, but its HOT and i like medium/mild :P
but i'm thawing chicken broth i had frozen for this...and i bought the beans, and i bought chicken (it was on sale; i had to rearrange the freezer).
but i went grocery shopping on monday. it was fun; if you can call it fun :P i keep my grocery list on my computer, and i delete the items as i buy them. works well, and it saves paper! w00t for being green. i'm sure some people wonder why theres a mini computer in my cart, (its one of those netbooks) but as i shopped after 9, noone stopped me, and (obviously) noone stole the computer :D
but i got over 80$ of groceries for sixty-some dollars. not bad...only meat in there is frozen chicken. i buy store brand (meijer!!!) or on sale only.
tomorrow or weds i'm going to aldi and getting the rest of my stuff...hopefully they'll have it all, they should. :D
