Live long… Laugh often… Love always.
I am proud to be cheap! I also love knowing that what I clean my kitchen with ingredients that I can eat.
I clean with an antibacterial microfiber cloth and my cleaning mixture. If it is something that is extra sticky or dirty or left bacteria behind, I let the solution sit for a few minutes to kill the bacteria before I wipe it off.
But vinegar stinks! It only stinks until it dries! It removes odors in the air like cooking odors and helps keep your house smelling clean without adding any fragrances or chemicals. You will never hesitate to set food on your counter because there are no harmful chemicals that will ruin your food.
Vinegar kills 99% of bacteria naturally and lemon juice is also antibacterial.
Here is what you need to make a few months of cleaner.
-1 heavy-duty spray bottle. I bought a Rubbermaid bottle at Target in the laundry basket or iron aisle.
-Bottle of White Distilled Vinegar, I buy the generic because I am cheap and I am only cleaning with it.
-Bottled Lemon juice, again go ahead an buy generic, you are not eating it!
Vinegar All Purpose Kitchen Cleaner-
Fill the spray bottle up 1/2 way with vinegar
Add 1/2 cup lemon juice
Fill up the rest of the way with warm water
Shake it up and start cleaning!
I use my Vinegar spray cleaner in my living room and bathroom as well.
I love having a second meal from the previous nights left overs! Last night I made a turkey and potatoes for dinner for our family and ended up with a bunch of leftovers. Tonight I am making Shredded Turkey Tacos it is easy and awesome, you can even make it in the slow cooker!
Ingredients:
3 cups shredded turkey or shredded chicken
2 cups chicken broth
1- 10 oz can Mexican tomatoes with diced chilies (Rotel) or 1 and 1/4 cup Salsa
1 packet of taco seasoning
I have done this a few ways.
Shred precooked chicken or turkey add to a saucepan along with the remaining ingredients and simmer on low for about 30 minutes. If you want to make it in a slow cooker add the ingredients and cook on low 4 hours to incorporate the seasonings into the meat.
If you want to make it in the slow cooker and don’t have left over meat add 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker with the remaining ingredients and cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours, shred the chicken breasts with two forks when you get home.
We dish it up with a slotted spoon to remove juice, serve with taco shells, and taco fixings and you have a simple meal and found a great use for that leftover turkey or chicken!!
