I plan on grocery shopping today, and one thing I want to check out is the Western Family canned chicken breast for $.99/can at Maceys. The ad claims this is a savings of $2.20, which if correct means that this normally sells for $3.19 a can. That seems like a lot to me, so I’m curious to see if it really is usually that much. This isn’t an item I normally purchase, but canned chicken is a really great high protein storage item, so if they have a good expiration date and really normally sell for $3.19, seems like an item to stock up on.
Also note that Smith’s is selling Mountain Dairy Milk all week for $1.94/gallon when you buy two. This may be more convenient for you than getting the Wednesday only $1.99 milk at Lee’s, and will be available through next Tuesday when the ad changes.
Smith’s is also offering cream cheese for $1.00, bottles of Kroger oil for $2.49, Duncan Hines Cake mixes for $1.00, and lean ground beef for $2.99/lb. Boneless Chicken at $1.79 isn’t too shabby either.
Last week I had company for dinner and to start the meal I decided to try a new Clam Chowder recipe. It turned out really great, so I wanted to share it since it’s getting to be that time of year when hot homemade soup tastes good. It’s based on Market Street Grill’s recipe, but I have adapted it somewhat to be considerably more healthy. It’s fun to make restaurant style dishes at home, but often requires some creativity and substitution to turn an eating out indulgence into something that can be enjoyed as part of an everyday, healthy family diet. See recipe below.

Market Street Clam
Chowder
(Revised)
3 cups diced, peeled potatoes
1 large chopped onions
1 bunch sliced green onions
1 large diced green peppers
1 1/2 cups diced celery
3 cans Snows brand chopped clams and juice
approx. 3 tsp. salt (taste, then add more if needed)
1 1/2 tsp. black pepper (or taste)
1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
3 large bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco (or to taste)
3/4 cup cooking sherry
3 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted
1 cup flour
1 qt. half and half plus additional regular milk if needed
1 large chopped onions
1 bunch sliced green onions
1 large diced green peppers
1 1/2 cups diced celery
3 cans Snows brand chopped clams and juice
approx. 3 tsp. salt (taste, then add more if needed)
1 1/2 tsp. black pepper (or taste)
1 1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
3 large bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco (or to taste)
3/4 cup cooking sherry
3 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted
1 cup flour
1 qt. half and half plus additional regular milk if needed
Directions:
Combine melted butter and flour in glass Pyrex type (oven proof) round casserole dish and bake uncovered at 325º for exactly 30 min. In large pot combine remaining ingredients except the half and half. Simmer until potatoes are thoroughly cooked (15 to 20 min). Remove bay leaves. Stir the baked butter and flour mixture into vegetable mixture. Mixture will be thick. Remove chowder from heat. Stir in half and half until blended. If it’s thicker than you would like, add some milk. Put back on heat and bring to desired temperature, keeping watch so it doesn’t burn. Serve immediately. Makes 6 meal sized servings or 10 first course (1 cup) servings.
