We have various dollar stores (Dollar Tree, mainly) but they don't feature the awesomeness you get to enjoy. But we do have salvage stores where you can sometimes luck out with fresh produce & dairy (not often meats).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564350625051702966.post-40092679419555910292010-01-25T11:02:22.870-08:002010-01-25T11:02:22.870-08:00Hi Dinah, link doesn't work, but I'm sure ...Hi Dinah, link doesn't work, but I'm sure it's a good recipe - the ingredients seem tasty.99 Cent Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242769458572502316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564350625051702966.post-21953163047396826282010-01-25T10:54:41.042-08:002010-01-25T10:54:41.042-08:00Hi Rochelle R.- your blogs are great too!

No need spending extra money if you have regular rice on hand.Dinahsoarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03877872564454797447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564350625051702966.post-35569675725932889812010-01-25T06:01:01.613-08:002010-01-25T06:01:01.613-08:00Looks delicious. A couple of years ago I started ...Looks delicious. A couple of years ago I started using ground turkey in many of my recipes in place of beef..it's a huge bargain. One of my faves to use it in is a recipe you might like--it also has coconut milk and all the components, I'd imagine, could be found at the 99.99 cents store (none where I live, but I have Dollar General Mkt. and Dollar Tree). I got the recipe from another website, here's the link to it:<br /><br />http://pleasantviewschoolhouse.blogspot.com/2008/12/easy-thai-supper.html<br /><br />I use ground turkey in place of the beef, I make half the recipe for husband and self, but use the full pound of meat, add some chicken bouillon to the called for water, use soy sauce in place of the tamari, and add a handful of frozen peas once the carrots are half tender. And instead of topping with peanuts I use cashews--which I always keep on hand for my Indian cooking--and we also top with raw de-stringed celery, thinly sliced on the diagonal..gives the crunch of water chestnuts, but more importantly gives me a way to use up that celery in the veg crisper. <br /><br />This is a totally one pot meal, with protein, carb, and veg. Can't beat that! We eat it often.<br /><br />If you try this dish and like it, feel free to post my adapted version on your blog--can't speak for the other blogger who originally posted it..but she may have 'borrowed' it as well. And shoot--you may come up with your own new twists, your own adaptation, which of course we hope you'll share!Dinahsoarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03877872564454797447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564350625051702966.post-58184666832968646752010-01-24T21:31:24.899-08:002010-01-24T21:31:24.899-08:00I always buy frozen chub ground turkey and recent...I always buy frozen chub ground turkey and recently spotted some at my local 99 cents store. It was fresh and good. I make my chili just like yours. Very tasty on a cold day. I enjoy your bog very much.Rochelle R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03703814746781987513noreply@blogger.com
