I have a bread maker I’ll haven’t pulled it out in a while, but perhaps I will.

I buy whole chickens all the time but gosh I can go through a bird in one or two maybe three meals between both of us.

How do you cook a chicken in a bread maker???

Jan Wardell, who is 71 and also lives in Pocatello, bought a whole chicken recently but is ruling it out for the future. There was too much chicken.

So cut it up and put the pieces in the freezer or cook then cut up and put pieces in the freezer.

All I buy is whole chickens and usually spatchcock and roast them. My son and I get 2-3 meals out of them and the cat gets the carcass.

I don't do Tyson. Usually get the Springer Mountain Farms brand. We usually have it with yellow rice, a copycat version of Vigo's yellow rice. 2-3 meals for $6.

We've also taken to eating beans and rice on occassion.

Red Baron’s pizza went to $6 around here so I’ve been making my own and use the bread maker to knead the dough. I cut it off before the whole 1 1/2 hour cycle though. I let it knead for the 20 minute cycle and rise for 10 minutes and then pull it.

I buy the big bag of mozerella and a bag of Italian blend cheese from Save-a-Lot and use canned pasta sauce which is about the same as pizza sauce but a whole lot cheaper. Still doesn’t save much money because cheese and pepperoni aren’t cheap. Probably saves $1-2.00.

I haven’t started making bread again yet but use to. Store bought sandwich bread is getting scary these days. Lasts for well over a month without getting moldy. Never used to be that way. What’d they do to it?

I used to make bread often in the winter to use the leftover oven heat for the house.

But I enjoy the bread a bit too much and had to cut back.
