Zaycon Chicken Taking Orders (OPEN)

By 5 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

The Zaycon chicken event is OPEN for Houston. It is also going on in MANY parts of the country! Orders are due by May 13th. Chicken is $1.79 / lb.

I was introduced to Zaycon Foods earlier in the year, but I did not have a chance to try it until last month. Zaycon Foods combines the buying power of many families together, enabling them to negotiate huge savings on food purchases for your family. They bring products direct from the farm / processor, so it is super fresh!

They deliver all over the country, you can take a look HERE to see what is available in your area. I know that they are planning an event in Houston probably the second week of September.

This is what to do:

  • Go HERE to Zaycon Foods.
  • Create an account and register.
  • When registering choose your area, this will allow them to know how many people are interested in an event in that area so they can set one up. Then you will get an email alerting you to an event that is coming. It is important to choose a location/state so that if you have people in that area waiting for enough to make an order, combining you all together will do that!
  • Then go to “View my account” and you can see what is coming in your area and how to order!

These events will have a pick up location, as the product is fresh and not frozen so it is not shipped.

** If you want to split an order with someone, leave a comment with your location and an email contact.

The chicken comes in a 40 pound box. It has 4 – 10 pound bags inside. This is what I did with my chicken order.

Buying in bulk is one of the ways that I save a lot of money on food. You do not have to have a large chest freezer to store this much chicken. Also, consider splitting an order with a friend or neighbor. The chicken is 100% natural chicken with no added hormones, additives or artificial ingredients, and will be priced around $1.79 a pound!!!

Chex Cereal Recipes – What to do with all that Chex cereal!

So you bought all that Chex cereal from HEB. Now what do you do with it?? We will have it for breakfast at our house, but there are sooooo many things you can make with it other than cold cereal! Our favorite is Ranch Chicken.

Ranch Chicken

INGREDIENTS

  • 7 cups Chex Cereal
  • I package dry Ranch dressing
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup fat-free milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 pounds chicken pieces, (without or with skin) rinsed and dried
  • 3 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted

DIRECTIONS

1. Place Chex cereal in shallow dish or pan and crush until fine.

2. In medium mixing bowl, beat egg and milk slightly. Add flour, salt and pepper. Mix until smooth. Dip chicken in batter. Coat with dry ranch dressing ( I put mine in a baggie and shake the chicken in it) Then coat with cereal. Place in single layer, in shallow baking pan coated with cooking spray or foil lined. Drizzle with margarine.

3. Bake at 350° F about 1 hour or until chicken is tender, no longer pink and juices run clear. For food safety, internal temperature of the chicken should reach at least 165ºF. Do not cover pan or turn chicken while baking. Serve hot.

Or you can go a little sweeter!

I saw this one on Pintrest and my heart stopped beating for a second! NUTELLA Puppy Chow? OH. MY. WORD! Where have you been all my life?!

NUTELLA PUPPY CHOW

recipe from: Healthy Tasty Chow
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup Nutella (coupon HERE)
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (use semi-sweet or dark, milk would be far too sweet and you’d lose the chocolate flavor)
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup hazelnuts
  • 13 cups (more or less) or one 12oz box of hearty wheat/corn/rice cereal like Crispix or Chex – try to find a hearty version so it doesn’t break down when stirring
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
In a 350 degree preheated oven, roast hazelnuts until fragrant and light brown, about 8 minutes
Allow to cool and remove as much of the skin as you can with a towel
Grind up hazelnuts finely in a food processor
Put the cereal in a large bowl and set aside.
In a pan over medium-low heat, melt butter, chocolate, and white chocolate, stirring constantly.
When all is melted, remove from heat and add Nutella and stir until mixed in, then add hazelnuts and stir well.
Slowly pour over cereal.
Stir with your hands! (make sure they are clean first!) It is MUCH easier than with a spoon.  It may take some time since the the batter is thick.
Dump into a gallon size zip-lock bag and pour in powdered sugar. Start out with a little and add more as needed.  You don’t want them TOO coated with powdered sugar because they will end up tasting to sweet. Zip up the back and shake it until they are coated.

How to plan a trip overseas – Part 1 – Who gets to go?

By 16 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

The end of May, we have the opportunity to go to Beijing, China. My husband Paul, myself and our 3 oldest children ages 14, 12 and 10 will be going for a little over 2 weeks. We are going to Beijing because my parents live there and it is really the trip of a lifetime. It is not a vacation destination that I would have ever considered before they moved there last year. But as long as we have somewhere to stay free and personal tour guides we figured we had better go!

We are only taking the bigger kids for a few reasons. The cost being the biggest. Also, considering most people only have 1 child, the logistics of travel and space available for a large family are just NOT available. We would have to rent 2 vehicles or even a bus to get around and the safety issues are concerning with many small children. We decided to leave the 4 smaller children home with my brother and sister in law.

Our older kids will miss the last week or so of school. I have had to arrange for them to take any tests ahead of time and turn in projects early. Thankfully this has gone smoothly so far and the teachers have been understanding and excited for the kids.

Deciding to leave 1/2 my family home has been hard for me. This is going to be such a cool experience I want us all to share it together, but imagining my 20 month old on a plane for 20 hours is all I have to think about when deciding she would be happier with cousins! Plus, we will be able to move quicker and see more things without the “hassle” of small kids.

Finally, back to the cost. There are 9 of us. The cost of passports, plane tickets, immunizations etc. could really be just completely outrageous. Plane tickets alone would have been almost $15,000. I could barely even type that out let alone actually pay that!

Stay tuned every few days, as I take you through the mistakes and successes we have made planning for this trip!

Have you ever left kids home and taken other kids on a trip??

Does HEB Price Match?

By 7 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

This week the deals at HEB are really VERY good! But some of you have said that the Chex 5 for $5 is not in your add or on sale at your store. HEB is known to do this… SADLY. Prices and sales will be different even in different zip codes in the same city. If you go to HEB’s website, and type in my zip (77380) and look at the ad you can see…

What can you do if you don’t have this deal?

Make a trip to The Woodlands 🙂 Not fun for cereal I know…

OR check and see if your store will price match another HEB. Now, it does not mention anything in the HEB coupon policy about price matching. HOWEVER, many readers are able to price match other HEB’s at their stores, by showing the manager the ad or pulling up the HEB website and showing them the sale. I would suggest asking your HEB manager in your store if they will do this the next time you are in. Because this is a really good deal on cereal:
