I'm enjoying seeing how far I can stretch my low carb meats. I read a recipe for quick chicken soup on this board the other day and it sparked an idea for saving money.
We bought a deli whole roast chicken. DH and I had the legs and thighs for dinner one night, then sliced the breast for lunch the next day.
We saved all the bones and put them in the crockpot with the carcass and slow simmered it with a few garlic and onion flakes, celery, celery seed, and when it was almost done, I added a little very finely sliced cabbage for "noodles".
It was like getting free lunches and a whole free dinner from our leftover chicken. Best of all, it was really good!
