The Pioneer Woman recently talked about using what she has on hand. I don't really make a habit of watching her show, it just happened to be on in the background.
This is what that tactic looked like for us the other day...I used everything on hand to make dinner, right down to the half dozen abandoned baby carrots in the veggie drawer...
Chicken & Yellow Rice (w/ Sweet Potato Bread)
No pictures of the chicken cooking- but it's in there.
Trust me.
