Not on Friday. One makes due with what one has, so the King Arthur bag was opened. I learned that King Arthur Unbleached Flour makes some mighty tasty pancakes! I will be using this again. Could not even taste a difference. WooHoo!
So the day continued along on a very bright note! In the afternoon my other plan was to use my West Bend Slow Cooker. Chicken Florentine a la Slow Cooker would be bubbling along on my counter top. Once again, the pantry door was opened. No Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom Soup to be found! There always is a Plan B in my kitchen. Using 12 oz. of Light & Fat Free College Inn Chicken Broth along with 3 Tablespoons of All Purpose Flour as a substitute for the condensed soup, my West Bend bubbled along as planned. The Chicken Florentine tasted soo good!
***First the Flour was combined with about 4 oz. of the broth before adding in the remaining amount of broth.
You might be wondering just how 3 Tablespoons of all purpose flour suddenly appeared. Years ago I took a suggestion from my younger son: Fill a 2 Cup container with all purpose flour, so whenever a small amount of flour is needed, the heavier canister does not need to be taken down from the shelf in my cabinet. From the day he made that suggestion, I heeded it. I find that my sons have wonderful ideas very often!
I was 2 for 2 on Friday! Now that made my day! I also have two more tips to add to the "Thoughtful Tips" page located at the top of my blog. WooHoo!
Enjoy!
Yummy!

Me Again; good idea to use chicken broth and flour to substitute soup. I wish we had King Arthur flour around here.

I too wish we had King Arthur flour here. Guess I will have to order some online. lol Way to go for your son with the good tip.
Rita- Thanks! After my son's suggestion for me I now keep a 2 cup plastic covered container of Flour and Sugar in a 1 cup covered container, both on a low shelf. The 5 lb. larger containers are stored higher in my cabinet.
There must be another unbleached flour for you to use.
Pam- I never knew that King Arthur flour is sold in specific areas.
Sons do have GREAT ideas! :)

What a great story! Thank you so much for the handy tips. Love the idea of keeping flour in a small container. I'm definitely going to do that. :)
Sweet Cottage Dreams- It was a great day! My son had a really helpful suggestion for me. Whenever he's back home he smiles whenever I take that small Flour container down from my cabinet to make gravy! Oh, wait...he makes the gravy! :)
alskamom- I pulled out the 2 cup container of Flour, again, today. Comes in so handy! I noticed Flour is "on special" later in the week at my local grocery store. Definitely need to purchase a couple of bags. :)

It is always satisfying to substitute with what you have on hand. Your slowed cooked chicken florentine sounds delicious.
