Living Outside the Stacks

Monday Mingle is hosted by Jenn at Eighty MPH Mom. If you’d like to participate, simply create a short vlog in which you answer the questions and then hit up the linky. Don’t forget to grab the badge and leave some comment love for your fellow participants.  After all, isn’t that what mingling is all about?

This week’s questions are from Paula at Thrifty Momma’s Tips:
1. What is one food or drink you cannot live without?
2. Are you a foodie? Do you like to cook or are you a food blogger?
3. What is your one easy family friendly recipe, or amazing supersecret recipe that you are known for? Share it here if it isn’t a closely guarded family secret.

2 cups Instant Rice
2 TBS Oil
2 lbs chicken strips

1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
1 package Frozen Peas or Broccoli Florets

1. Heat oil in skillet, add chicken strips, season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook until done all the way through. Remove from skillet and cut into bite size pieces.

2. On what TV show would you like to have a guest starring role?
