Amazing Chicken

Ok, so it's not like I'm the frugal gourmet or anything, but...

I bought a $6 chicken at Kroger a few weeks ago. We roasted it. My family ate two meals off it.

I froze the carcass.

Friday afternoon, we made stock with it, added veggies and 1 lb of barley.

20 people ate well Friday night.

So 28 people off one chicken.

I realize more and more how much I should have paid attention to my mom in the kitchen. I am way behind the learning curve.

I'm so proud. And you're being modest. The soup was excellent! I think a roasted chicken is the best thing you can buy at the grocery store as far as bang for your buck. We really need a community dinner cookbook. :)
