The SNAP! Snackboard is officially here! 👀

I waited to open the package so we could unbox the Tobacco/Black Wood Grain version together—and it’s even prettier in person. Now I need your help: what should we serve on it first? 🧀🍇

🏡❤️ THE ROAD BACK HOME | Making Something Beautiful Out of What We Have

Last night we made soup. Tonight we turned those leftovers into an entirely different dinner without spending another penny! 🌯🧀😍

After years of flooding and being displaced from our home, we’re finally making progress toward elevating and rebuilding. But we’re still living in a rental, maintaining two properties, and doing everything we can to make every dollar stretch.

And sometimes that looks like getting a little creative in the kitchen! ❤️

Tonight we transformed our leftover ground chicken, white bean, and rice soup into Cheesy Chicken & Rice Quesadilla Wraps with homemade smoky lime crema!

🌯 Here’s how we made them:

🧀 3–4 cups leftover chicken, bean & rice soup
🧀 1½ cups shredded mozzarella
🥄 2 tbsp sour cream
🌶️ ½ tsp smoked paprika
🧄 ¼ tsp garlic powder
🌯 4 large flour tortillas
🫒 A little butter or olive oil

For the smoky lime crema:

* ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
* 1 tbsp lime juice
* ¼ tsp smoked paprika
* ¼ tsp garlic powder

The easiest leftover makeover! 🙌

We thickened the soup, mixed in the cheese, sour cream, and seasonings, stuffed everything into tortillas, and toasted them in a skillet until golden. Then whipped up the crema for dipping!

No grocery run. No extra spending. No wasted food. Just another homemade dinner for our family. ❤️

Our road back home has been longer and harder than we ever imagined, but we’re learning to find beauty in the little things along the way.

And if you’ve been following our journey and wondering how you can help, here are two ways to support our family while we work toward getting home:

Our $19.93 TikTok Shop commission budget became a big pot of smoky paprika ground chicken, white bean and rice soup 🥣

It was hearty, comforting, made entirely in the Instant Pot—and we made enough to transform the leftovers into tomorrow night’s $0 dinner.

Every meal in this series helps stretch our budget while we work toward our Road Back Home. 🤍

DAY 3 of letting TikTok Shop pay for our family dinners! 🥟🔥

Tonight’s grocery budget was just $1.30, and we’re proving you don’t need a big budget to make something DELICIOUS! 🤎

We turned ingredients we already had into Crispy Buffalo Chicken & Blue Cheese Wontons in the Ninja Crispi Pro, and OH MY GOODNESS! 🤤

Crispy on the outside, creamy, cheesy, and packed with buffalo chicken on the inside. And of course, we had to make a buffalo blue cheese dipping sauce!

🥟 Here’s how we made them:

• 1 lb ground chicken
• ¼ cup buffalo sauce
• ¾ cup shredded mozzarella
• ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles
• 2 tbsp blue cheese dressing
• 2 chopped green onions
• ½ tsp each garlic and onion powder
• Wonton wrappers

Brown and season the ground chicken until fully cooked. Let cool slightly, then mix with the buffalo sauce, cheeses, dressing, and green onions.

Spoon into wonton wrappers, seal tightly, lightly brush with oil, and air crisp in the Ninja Crispi Pro at 375°F for approximately 6–9 minutes, until golden and crispy!

Serve with extra blue cheese dressing mixed with a little buffalo sauce. 😍

Saturday’s TikTok Shop commissions were $24.40, so we headed to Publix to see how far we could stretch them! 🛒

Thanks to Publix BOGOs and shopping our pantry first, we bought groceries for multiple meals while staying within our budget! 🙌

One mower. Two yards. Two homes to maintain—but only one of them is truly home. 💙

Carl mowed the lawn at our rental today, and then we brought the mower back to our flooded house so this property can be taken care of next.

We haven’t been able to live here for nearly three years, but the grass still grows. The property still needs attention. The bills still come. This house still needs us, even while it sits gutted and waiting.

We were approved for Elevate Florida on September 17. Nineteen days later, we’re still waiting for the bid cover sheet that unlocks the next step—and we still can’t begin rebuilding until the house is elevated.

This is one of the invisible parts of displacement: maintaining the place where you currently sleep while continuing to care for the home you’re fighting to return to.

We may not live here right now, but it is—and always will be—home.
