This is a must for frugal family’s and for those that want a new take on gourmet pasta. Plus, we show a gluten-free and healthier swaps ideas so that all can enjoy!

#3 – Million Dollar Chicken Rolls Recipe

We are so glad to see this is #3 on the list because it NEEDS to be at least this! Why? Because these are truly amazing. They taste like a million bucks…with a small price tag. In fact, we can make 8 servings of these with 1 chicken breast and other frugal ingredients costing around $5-$6 total for this amazing meal. Serve it as a sandwich or take it to another level and serve it as an entree with the gravy. It’s really amazing and something you don’t want to miss out on.

#2 – How to Remove Pee and Urine from Couch (Works for Mattresses too!)

Okay, this one surprised us…especially since it is #2! When I posted this, I thought it was a post for the more “off-chance” type of scenario. I guess I underestimated how many people may have had a toddler, pet (or someone else?!?) pee on their couch. Mine was from a toddler that fell asleep on the couch. I don’t let them fall asleep there anymore because no matter how effective this method is, I’d prefer not to do it at all.

So, here’s your rescue remedy! It also works on mattresses very well too. I have used it for that more….

And even though you may not need this today, chances are that you will in the near future, so bookmark or pin this one!
