$10 Tuesday | Beer Butt Chicken

Weird, right?!?

It sounds so gross but y'all it tastes so good. This is one of my summer favorites but now Ill grill it or bake it to help me prep food for the week. It makes the chicken so juicy and not dry one bit!

Ingredients:
Whole Small Chicken: varies $5 to $7
A can of Bush Light: .63 cents
2 Tablespoons real butter: .05
Mrs. Dash Seasoning: $ 2.62 (optional)
Total: 7.68 (or 10.30 with the Mrs Dash)

Directions
Before preparing the chicken, open the package then take the bag out of the chicken. (That little package has the gizzards, neck and liver? in it. I don't eat those things so I just throw them out).
With an empty chicken, grab a can of beer. My dad says the rule is to take a big drink, but I'm not a beer fan so instead of drinking it, I pour a little bit into a bowl and set aside.

Your beer should still be 3/4 of the way full. If you are baking the chicken, then you adjust your racks in our oven to fit the chicken if its standing. You put the beer in the middle of a 9x13 cake pan. Then take the chicken and place it over the can, so that literally the beer is in the chickens butt.

In a separate small bowl, melt the butter. Once melted, mix with the bowl of beer and drizzle over the outside of the chicken. Sprinkle it with Mrs. Dash seasoning (or your seasoning preference). If there is any beer/butter mix left, pour it down the chickens neck so it will go into the beer can.
Cover your 9x13 pan and place on the grill or in the oven. You want to keep the chicken in the pan to catch any overflow as it cooks. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. This ensures your chicken is fully cooked!
Once done, take off the heat and let sit for 10 minutes. This allows the meat to rest and hold onto the juice.

Pair with your favorite side dishes & enjoy!
As you know, my go to sides are a veggie and potato. I simply bake a potato in the oven as the chicken cooks (.52) & I make the steamed veggie bags (.98 cents).

An entire meal for
.52 + .98 + 7.68 = $9.18

Through Sickness & Health

Ya'll it's been interesting over here. I know its been a few weeks since I've blogged & I'm just gonna keep it real, its because my focus right now is keeping my head above water! Being a mom is hard, being a wife is hard, being a business owner is hard, loving yourself is hard, staying healthy is hard, shit LIFE is hard. But its what you do with the hard thrown at you that actually counts. With holidays, kids home from break & ending the year on new years eve with Kenny having surgery, we ended 2019 straight wildddddd. So 2020 we brought in with a whole new learning curve. If you know me, or follow me regularly. You know I thriiiiivvvveee on routine. So i'm like a new little baby trying to walk through this chaos without falling down. *spoiler alert, i'm clumsy AF* I will be back to a regular schedule, at some point, but I know that point isn't today so I'm just controlling the controllable. That's the secret though. To a good life, to...

$10 Tuesday | Breakfast edition

You know my goal is $10 or less, What if I told you breakfast for under $2?!? YUPPPPPP! Friends, get on my level.  That's cheaper than stopping at the gas station, running through fast food and 100x healthier! Let me share with you one of my favorite breakfast meals! Overnight Oats & Eggs Super simple, super easy, budget win. x Now let's break it down. Oatmeal -- $2.29 Blueberries -- $2.29 Almond Milk -- $1.99 Eggs -- .88 Mushrooms -- 1.89 ________________________ Total spent = $6.57 But wait, that's before breaking it down by the number of days you can use it for. This is over a weeks worth of breakfast y'all. One tub of oatmeal can last me 2+ weeks! Eggs, you have plenty for 6 days, etc. So let me show you my best guess. Oatmeal -- $2.29 / 14 = .16 Blueberries -- $2.29 / 4 = .57 Almond Milk -- $1.99 / 7 = .28 Eggs -- .88 / 6 = .15 Mushrooms -- 1.89 / 5 = .38 __________________________ Total for one meal = $1.54 Mind.Blow...

S'more fun

I've missed date nights! With total chaos erupting in the weaver home >> Holidays, surgery, recovery, sickness it honestly has not even been a possibility and dang is it noticeable in how we love each other. When my husband and I aren't getting that time to connect, talk, just be intentional with our relationship it makes room for doubt, frustration and distance. We have both been feeling it. Even being together practically 24/7 it hasn't been focused. We knew it was time to bring back date nights as a weekly thing! && both of us were pumped up. Last year we bought this cool little book to help with date night ideas.Its called the adventure challenge. It was $40 but its FILLED with surprise dates. YUP A SURPRISE! How it works is you read the icons to see what you need/how to prepare & the name of the date and pick. When you scratch it, you're committing to it -- no matter what. Scratch it off and complete the date. So we picked one & scratched it ...
