Homemade Fried Rice

This is one of my favorite “go-to” recipes when I don’t know what to make for dinner. Everyone likes it and it’s very fast to make. I also almost always have everything in the kitchen to make it. My favorite way to cook it is with bulk breakfast sausage. But you can make it with […]

How To Make Scrambled Eggs – Cooking Video

I came across this cooking video this morning. It has some great tips on how to make a perfect plate of scrambled eggs. I used to make these dusty little chunks of egg that needed to be covered in ketchup to be edible. Thankfully I’ve gotten better at this and make some decent scrambled eggs […]

Skip The Crockpot Liner – Frugal Slow Cooker Tip

Have you seen the crockpot liners on sale? It’s tempting to grab a bag, isn’t it?

The Gift Of Love – A Valentine’s Story

The following story always reminds me of what Valentine’s Day is all about. I thought I’d share it with you today. I am not sure where it came from and who first wrote it. I shared it in the newsletter a few years ago and thought today would be the perfect day to share it […]

The Hillbilly Housewife On Kindle

The Hillbilly Housewife website is up and running again. I couldn’t be happier. For a moment there I thought we had lost everything… very scary. I can not express how relieved I am that the wonderful Courtney Chowning was able to recover and fix everything. To celebrate and to make up for the fact that […]

Chicken Coconut Curry

This is quite delicious. It isn’t exactly an authentic coconut curry because it doesn’t use expensive, hard-to-find curry paste. It is a close copy though, and I bet you’ll be wowed by how good and how cheap it is. 2 tablespoons oil 1 tablespoon curry powder 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 3 pounds chicken pieces, […]

Chicken & Dumplings

Chicken and Dumplings is just about the most delicious creation to ever come out of the deep South. Pure comfort food, of the highest order. There are as many ways to make it as there are cooks who specialize in it. After much trial and error, I have discovered the key to making good Chicken […]

Avoiding Spice Disaster

This morning I closely avoided a breakfast disaster when I was fixing a bowl of oatmeal. I added sugar and was just about to sprinkle what I thought was cinnamon in the bowl, when I realized I had the paprika container instead. This isn’t the first time it happened, so I thought I’d better do […]

I learned to stretch my liquid handsoap by initially buying two bottles of it , one regular and one foamy .I used the foamy first then took the regular and refilled the foamy bottle half full. I then added hot water to fill the foamy bottle to the top. I then gently shook the foamy […]

Sweet and Sour Chicken Stew

I make this particular chicken stew quite a bit when I can find chicken and bell peppers on sale. It’s a nice change of pace from the usual chicken pot pie, chicken dumplings and or chicken noodle soup. You can make it with chunks of chicken breast, chicken tenders or my personal favorite boneless, skinless […]
