where is the cabbage roll soup!?
It looks like there are beans in the Chicken Tortilla Soup, but the recipe does not include them. Is that correct? I would just add a can of black beans.
I was just wanting to make sure the carb count is correct on the Chicken and Dumplings.
I think it’s incorrect. If you ate 4 dumplings it would be 25 carbs alone.
Is your key pad active? Ours was connected to the vivent offices who called us if the alarm went off. We had to give the password and let them know everything was o.k. When we were gone the police would respond to our house to check it out! It is a wonderful asset!
Re: Soup Recipes. They sound yummy. BUT contain way too much salt and fat.
Would prefer recipes that use less of both – low salt/fat substitutions.
Also, would prefer to see ingredients for two servings that can be multiplied for larger quantities
rather than having to try and divide ingredients for smaller numbers of servings.
You said ask …. When the house was built an alarm system was installed – magnets at all the doors and windows, keypad, etc. Now I think I need to figure out how to have someone respond when the alarm goes off, whether I’m there or not. Suggestions? things to consider?
Thanks!
