Simple Cream Cheese Spread

This is inspired by Pinterest. I have seen so many cream cheese spreads there and they look so easy to do. They are and they are super versatile. 

Here is one version:

1 pkg cream cheese (or vegan version)

1 tsp of Italian Seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Add more seasoning if you like or change it to a seasoning that you and your family like.

Ugly Chicken Salad

During the summer we tend to eat lighter than in the winter. In other words, I am too cheap to turn the air conditioner on. So we eat stuff we can put in a toaster oven and heat up or we have a salad or sandwich. Late last month Liesa Sutton from Sutton Daze and Linda from Linda’s Pantry issued a challenge for us to use what we have in our pantries as much as possible without going out and buying something special. ABSOLUTELY NO CASSEROLES!!! That is the only rule. Here you go. A chicken salad made with everything I already have. The ugly part is because Heather from The Kneady Homesteader doesn’t like home-canned raw chicken. I won’t lie, it’s not that beautiful. 

Ugly Chicken Salad

Ugly chicken canned at home

Celery

Grapes

Salt and Pepper (Or seasoning you and your family like.)

Mayo (I am not brand loyal.)

Equipment

Bowl

Fork

Measuring utensils

Using your fork, shred up the chicken in your bowl. Cut the celery, and grapes into small pieces. 

Now keep in mind your family’s taste is different from mine. So season this as you and your family like. I like my chicken salad little more on the moist side so I used a ½ cup of mayo. This of course will depend on your family. I am the only one that likes chicken salad so I made a small amount. 

This is a recipe so easy and requires so little equipment. Even kids could make this on their own once they learn the recipe. No heavy equipment like a food processor is needed.

Good News From Porky and the Three Little Pigs

Iowa Farmers across have had enough of the government telling them to euthanize their livestock. There are farmers who are selling the pigs to the public and recommending processors. This started with a post on Facebook and took off from there. People want pork, they have pigs ready to be processed. It’s true capitalism and socialism. One person has a supply, another person has a demand. Socialism comes in because the farmers are taking ownership of the product they produced and getting the profits. 

Our next story is of Aldi’s new curbside service. In response to COVID-19, they are starting a curbside service. My only question is what took them so long? This is a popular service for many stores like Kroger. Aldi’s is already a part of the Instacart trend. Do I expect it to stay with them? Yes. It’s popular.

American Serfs

The American people have become a nation of serfs. How can I say that? Easy. Recently I had a conversation with a maintenance worker, I mentioned to him that the front gate is broke. He let know that he had mentioned it to the owner of the complex. They don’t care. He doesn’t care for good reason. Remember that Pandemic relief people got back in April, well greedy corporations are taking it back. That’s right! They are taking it right out of the checking accounts of employees without their knowledge until they go to pay a bill and can’t. This gentleman can’t quit… Because the employer can and will sue for breach of contract. This gentleman doesn’t have the money for lawyers who would go in for the financial kill. On the other hand the owner of the complex does have the money to have lawyers on hand. This nation has become home for the greedy bourgeoise. They have the money and the politicians in their pockets. They are why the country is in the situation we are in. This has been thought out and planned for generations. Turn the average people into serfs, and the bourgeoise get everything. They even own the homes we live in. Don’t believe me! Okay. When is the last time anyone got the title to the property they live in after they paid off the mortgage? NEVER! Well okay, not in our lifetimes. There was a time when people could homestead and they got the deed to the people got the deed to their property. No county regulations to deal with. That has been over a hundred years. Governments keep the deeds in a fireproof vault for us because we are a brainwashed population. Need proof. Fine. When Trump told his minions to liberate Michigan, Washington state, New York, and Minnesota, what did they do? They grabbed their guns on command and protested. The same thing is happening in North Carolina. It’s frightening to be honest to watch how brainwashed we are. Worst is, we don’t even know it.

Food Bank Rice and Chicken

Take a packed rice meal you get at food bank and cook by the directions. Then add canned chicken also from a food bank. You can add veggies of your choice.
