4 Chicken Breasts
2 Boil in a Bag Rice
1 Can of refried Beans
1 Bag of Kraft Mexican shredded Cheese
1 Can of Rotel tomatoes with Lime and Green chilies
1 Packet of Fajitas seasoning
Salt
Water

put 4 cups of water in a pot place 2 bags of boil in a bag white rice. Fully submerged turn the burner on to high and boil rice about 10-12 mins.

Plug in Electric Skillet and turn temp to 300 -325 put about 2 to 3 cups of water in the skillet. Pour the packet of Fajitas seasoning in the water and mix well add the chicken put cover on and cook till chicken it fully cooked.

Open the can of Refried beans and place them in a microwaveable bowl if they look dry add about 2 TBL of water place a paper towel over the top and cook on high for 2 mins.

once the Rice is done, drain the water out and pour the cooked rice in the pot, stir rice, open the can of Rotel tomatoes and added to the rice and mix well. Add some garlic powder and Salt. Then add about 2 handfuls of Mexican cheese and mix well till melted.

Chicken should be cooked and most of the liquid should be gone. add some cheese to the tops of the chicken breasts cover till melted. Remove chicken and place on plate, add the rice to the remaining mixture of water and seasoning and cook, turn rice often so not to burn but kind of fry it.

Take the refried beans out of the microwave and add about 1 cup or amount to taste to the beans and mix till melted if it does not fully melt put back in microwave for a couple more seconds so cheese is melted.

Coupons, Coupons and more coupons...

So I am obsessed with Coupons.. LOL Is it a Bad thing? I think NOT... I save not only my family money, but I send them to my Mom and My sister and my friends and even strangers in the store who is buying an item and I have an extra coupon I will hand it over and say you can save X amount of money with this coupon. They are usually very receptive and ask me how I get all my all coupons. Some also will mention something about my Binder, I have been asked if I purchased it and where?, How did you get all those coupons, How did you make the binder?... I love the questions, and it brings up the fact that so many are not aware of the info that I know.. and well to be honest they probably won't read a book about it they were told they could. They want to know from a real person in front of them hands on...
Which leads to the young lady at Kmart who asked me to teach her and I said yes. So my project in the next couple months is going to be to educate those who want my help. If you know someone who would like to learn what I know,or want new opinions and suggestions. Please refer them to my blog. I am going to try and make a habit of getting this off the ground and post more often.

I would like more followers... But I want you to know I am different than some of the rest...

I am a military wife, I work full Time, I don't consider myself an extreme couponer because I do not buy things in bulk if my family won't ever use them or need them. I do search for a good deal,but I don't have the 30 hours to spend going to every grocery store in town to get all the deals.
