I traveled to London at age 17 and had my first stran of pearls, and by 20 had been to China and back. Before driving home I stopped to pick up pie shells, and I remembered I had several canned items from the food bank that would make great pies. I decided to make one pumpk.

A conglomeration of my recipes, coupon ideas, and money-saving tips for the kitchen. This is my attempt to share my ideas with others who want to save money and still enjoy their kitchen. I love accidental recipes that turn out to be super yummy! 15 lbs chicken, cut into 1-inch cubes.
