      I had leftover rotisserie chicken and the stock that I made with the bones. I also had broccoli slaw that was due to expire so "ta da" I made a very healthy and tasty soup!

        I made Natasha's" Juicy BBQ'd Chicken Thighs". I baked them and I used all the marinade ingredients recommended for 3 pounds on my one pound. I marinated them overnight. They were easy to prepare and very tasty. I like boneless skinless chicken thighs because they stay moist. I cut off most of the fat too.

              I get it on Netflix! I have seen the first two episodes. There are some challenges for sure!

                Riverside Len I never thought of adding potato flakes to thicken soup. Good idea! And thanks BA for fish recipe. It's on my "to make" list!

                  It was requested I make a carrot cake for my neighbors birthday. I decided to use inspired taste's "Incredibly Moist and Easy Carrot Cake" recipe( on the internet). I liked the fact that most of ingredients included weight measurements. I shredded the carrots in my cuisinart. It was a lot of work and I mistakenly put celery salt instead of cinnamon in the flour so I had to redo. Anyway the taste was good but the texture was way off. It did not hold together well. I then compared the recipe to the one in the frog commissary cookbook and all the measurements were the same except the recipe I used called for 2 tsps. baking soda and the Frog's recipe called for 1 tsp baking soda and 2 tsps baking powder! I should have compared the recipes earlier.

                    WE had leftover beef tenderloin strips stir fried with broccoli, onions and peppers served over ramen noodles. The price of beef has since skyrocketed!

                      I made grilled soy-basted chicken thighs (boneless,skinless) with spicy cashews. I baked it according to "Nan's best" grilled chicken with cashewsv recipe. It was originally a nyt recipe. It was very good.

                        I made Eating Well's sheet-pan shrimp fried rice. I marinated the shrimp in a little oil and garlic salt first. The dish includes veggies so it's a one pan meal. It was very good on first go round. Not as great reheated the next day.

                          I don't know if this snack mix qualifies as baking but you do bake it. It's Dave Lebovitz's Spicy Pretzel and nut mix. It's crazy addicting. I don't use much of the cayenne pepper powder, infact I often substitute a milder powder. I make it at least every three weeks. I use salted pretzels and nuts so I don't add salt at the end.

                            I made a cold green bean salad to accompany my neighbor's sausage sandwiches. I decided to go with a salad that called for basil since I had so much. Unfortunately the basil ruined the salad. It was bitter! I don't know if I chopped too much or if the herbs get stronger later in the season. Lesson learned. I'll stick with a tried and true next time.

                                We had scrambled eggs, bacon and pancakes with grade B maple syrup! Breakfast for dinner at it's best!

                                  Could you do these in silicone muffins cups?
