Frozen Dinner Diner: Free Chicken And Veggies

Readers who stopped by this blog Monday know that I got a free rotisserie chicken at Sam's Club on Sunday (a very nice surprise.)

Here's where the chicken is now:


I took the meat off the bones,  tore it into chunks, boiled some veggies in chicken broth, then put chicken chunks, veggies and broth into some of my frozen dinner containers. I poured the broth over the entire dish because in the past when I've microwaved chicken to reheat it, it's been tough and dry. I've never tried adding broth to it before to keep it tender. Hopefully it works.

If any readers have their own tips about how to keep chicken from getting too dry and tough during microwaving, please feel free to share them in the comments field.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
