Roast beef sandwiches with horseradish mayo, Greek pasta salad and broccoli slaw.

Thanks to the rotisserie chicken stock I froze I was able to make "everything but the kitchen sink "soup.
It's that time of year to pack for Florida and I have to get rid of a lot of stuff in the fridge and freezer. I added meatballs, onions, leftover pork tenderloin, carrots, noodles, spring mix leaves....etc.
Somehow it all worked!

ps I heard the FN now has a show involving use of leftovers.

I really liked her chocolate chip cookie recipe. It was so different than your everyday cc cookie IMHO.

Sorry to read she passed but it seems she lived "the good life".

I think I already mentioned this but I took a macaron class at the local cooking school. To make them it required almond flour, a sifter, precise mixing, knowing when they were ready to bake and finally knowing when they were done. The filling and how to fill them was another issue. When I see the contestants on the GBBO whip them up in up in no time it amazes me. As an aside the ones I took home were not appreciated by our guests.

I like the chicken thighs on pizza idea. I marinated boneless skinless chicken thighs in a little rasberry dressing, soy sauce, brown sugar and soy sauce, s&p. Basically looked in the fridge and pulled out what I thought would work. I roasted the whole shebang in the oven with cherry tomatoes and sprayed with a little oil and "Magnifique".

ps I love the EVO oil sprayer.

Sorry I just saw your reply. I have not tried to bake bread in the oven. I have not tried to steam veggies in it either but I will now. I have air fried frozen sweet potato fries which came out crispy. I reheat pizza and it comes out well. I always use it to roast potatoes and bake chicken dishes....I have not tried the dehydrate function either.

That's funny!

I know I'm late to the party but I just had to comment. I love my Breville Smart Oven. I sold my former one for a larger model with a " fry" function. I use it all the time. It holds 9x13 dishes and can accommodate a 12" pizza. I use it everyday and feel it saves electricity because I don't have to heat up my large oven.

Rotisserie chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. I found out that the left over, picked over roasted chicken makes excellent stock imho.

Mike thanks for the ideas.

Never thought of that. Personally I love the stuff and just realized that if I put it in a glass in the refrigerator and top with a sandwich baggie it will keep for a long time. I also learned from Christopher Kimball that the stems can be frozen and used in soup and stews. Just a tidbit for all you cilantro lovers out there.

I made slow cooker shredded beef tacos with Carrot and Cabbage slaw. It was a CI recipe so you know there was a lot of labor involved. I was making it to share with a needy next door neighbor. Exhausted I packaged the meat, the sauce, the slaw, the feta cheese, the corn tortillas, and some mango slices for dessert. Upon eating it with my husband I thought something is missing. Yup I forgot the most important ingredients :cilantro and lime juice. Alas too late for my neighbor!

This is worth saving.

How to twist a negative into a positive. All is fair in business and war. But not really for the consumer.

ps I added a little cinnamon to sauce.
