How about you? I really like to heat my space this time of year. I\u2019ll usually opt for meals that are more snack-like or salads on those days. Maybe a smoothie. But I made an exception yesterday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This past weekend was not a typical one for me. I was away from home from Thursday afternoon to Saturday afternoon. I don\u2019t typically work weekends, but I did an extra shift on Saturday. I missed my Friday morning financials date with myself, so I did that when I got home Saturday afternoon, then went home and did laundry. I was wiped. I didn\u2019t feel any better on Sunday after my breakfast-with-a-book so, rather than going for my customary walk and relaxing at the park, I went back home. I had planned to make a couple of different recipes for this week, one with chicken, and one with kielbasa, but I really couldn\u2019t muster the energy to do much of anything.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to make things a little easier on myself and make a slow cooker stew. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This one may seem a little odd, but it is delicious! You don\u2019t know what you might like until you try it, and I really wasn\u2019t sure how this would come out. <\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, I didn\u2019t have any chicken or vegetable stock or broth. I only had beef broth. <\/li>\n<li>I am trying to use up a jar of coconut aminos, so I needed to look up how to combine this with beef broth.<\/li>\n<li>I wasn\u2019t sure what seasonings to use with both types of meat, so I had to look that up as well.<\/li>\n<li>And I had some tomato paste and a little pineapple that I needed to use up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">To be honest, I started this later than I should have, but it made a great dinner! And, when you are trying to live frugally, you will try things together you may not normally. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I do want to note that I only used 4 grinds of the sea salt grinder because, even though I used a reduced sodium boof broth, there is also salt in the coconut aminos. Now that I have tried the stew, I feel like it would have been fine without the sea salt. So, you can leave that out if you want.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I also do want to note that while I did not cut up the chicken, it fell apart super easy when the stew was done, as I had suspected would happen. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I also want to note that you can use whatever flour works best for you for the slurry mentioned in the ingredients. <\/p>\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Chicken &amp; Kielbasa Stew<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong> for 1st Step<\/p>\n<p>1 kielbasa sliced into rounds<\/p>\n<p>1 pound chicken strips<\/p>\n<p>4 grinds sea salt<\/p>\n<p>6 grinds pepper<\/p>\n<p>a slurry made from combining 1\/4 cup water &amp; 3 Tbsp tapioca flour<\/p>\n<p>32 ounces reduced sodium beef broth<\/p>\n<p>2 tbsp coconut aminos<\/p>\n<p>1 tsp onion powder<\/p>\n<p>2 tsp each: garlic powder, oregano, parsley, and chives<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingredients<\/strong> for the 4th step <\/p>\n<p>3 handfuls frozen corn<\/p>\n<p>3 handfuls frozen peas<\/p>\n<p>2 -3 ounces tomato paste (optional)<\/p>\n<p>1\/3 cup crushed pineapple (optional)<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Combine everything from the first ingredient list in the slow cooker. I used a 3-quart cooker. <\/li>\n<li>Give it a good stir and cover. <\/li>\n<li>Let cook on high for 3 hours. <\/li>\n<li>Add the items from the second ingredient list.<\/li>\n<li>Give it another good stir. <\/li>\n<li>Replace the cover and cook for 1 hour.<\/li>\n<li>At the end of the hour, you can taste test for flavor. Add more seasonings if you like and stir.<\/li>\n<li>Break up any chunks of chicken that might be left. <\/li>\n<li>Enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I really liked how this came out!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use what you have on hand.
