Pantry Meal Dress Up a Hamburg Helper

 I know it’s been a while since we have done a meal like this. Thre are more people using food banks than ever. People getting in line for banks that don’t open till three in the afternoon yet they are getting in line at six am. This is going to get more frequent as the year goes by. If you are new here’s how it works. I take three or four items I currently have that you would get from a food bank. Then we combine them to make a meal that will be delicious and feeling for every member of your house.  So here we go…


The Hamburg Helper I chose was Cheesey Enchilada. I opted to use home-canned chicken. Hamburg helper is something that food banks across the country often get donated to them. Along with canned beans, corn. As a matter of fact the corn I used for this video is a can I was given by a local church last December with ham, and other items. 


Take a pound of meat you have on hand. Whatever it be as long as it is either a half a pound to a pound. Of course, if you have to double this. Brown the meat off if it’s not already cooked. As we go through the year I do suspect we will start seeing precooked frozen meats and canned meats at banks. I have already had this experience. A couple of months ago a friend gave me pork for tacos that were frozen and cooked. This is where having a southwest, taco, or enchilada helper in your box. Of course, you can use the store brand if that is what you have. What I added, was a can of corn, pinto beans, and tomatoes with chilies. It was so good. The chilies added a nice bite and the corn had a sweetness to it. 


If you do this meal please share what you add and what you change. Let’s help each other and inspire each other.

UN Legitimate and Two Illegitimate Speakers

This was a freakshow of a week…. I actually did a whole layout here and accidentally deleted it. OMG. I realize this week was crazy, but holy shit! This is what it did. So here’s a quick recap before I have a completely psychotic break.  Trump entered the UN building with the same level of disaster he entered the world with. The safety feature that will prevent someone carrying a ‘nasty surprise’ from entering the top level of the escalator. That still leaves the elevators. The teleprompter stopped working. That was it, there’s a conspiracy. He did what any brain-dead American would do: whine and bitch. His almost hour-long tirade ended by telling other nations they will go to hell. I guess there will be a family reunion.  Netanyahu went to speak, and it’s a good thing that there were influencers paid to be there; otherwise, why on earth would anybody subject themselves to Netanyahu’s incoherent nonsense after Trump is beyond me. Netenhahu finished last week by threatening Chi...

Who is Ahmed al-Sharaa?

  Ahmed was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Wait! What was that???? Born in Saudi Arabia…. How the hell did he get to be president of Syria? A country that he isn’t even a citizen of? That is as insane as Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announcing he is going to be the president of America. Actually, I would welcome that. Since he is obviously smarter than any American Political puppet. At least we would be able to have our Christian values protected. There wouldn’t be an abortion clinic on every city block. And the sexualization of children would come to a dead stop. Veterans would be better cared for under Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. However, that will never happen, but I think you get how insane that is. I found that you have to be a natural-born citizen of Syria to be president of Syria.  Ahmed al-Sharaa was a member of Al Qaeda. You remember the pack of terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/. My question is, why is Al-Qaeda allowed to exist if they were involved in 9/11? ...

Feeling Ignored

  I didn't mean to ignore this site. I have been busy with the government shutdown, and I have to say, what a freak show. Let's break this down: 1. There is a budget. Once it's clear that we won't tolerate the freak show any longer, the budget will be put in front of us. Of course, it won't have an accurate date. The date it was actually signed.  2. What are we currently focused on? The shutdown. We are looking at the fact that Israel is attacking Iran, again, for having the very same thing they have: nuclear weapons. We also have nuclear weapons in America. We also have a nasty habit of using weapons of mass destruction. Dioxin was used in Vietnam; it was later called Agent Orange.  3. We are no longer demanding the release of the Epstein and Maxwell files. Of course, by the end of October, I am sure this will be in the headline again because one of the other party will bring it up.  4. Prices. The lamestream media isn't talking about the real prices. I went ye...
