I haven't had a lot of time to sit down and put my recipes on the blog. I'm pretty sad about that, because I have been experimenting a lot. I also want to include pictures of what I've been cooking, but that will also have to wait. These days, I cook dinner with Sophia straddled on my back. I hope this will lead to interest in the kitchen, however it could backfire and she could loathe it. Please let her love it, I could use a helper.
So while I do have a chance to chat about food, here are some of my carry-over ideas:
Chicken
First meal: Roasted chicken with Pappy's seasoning, stuffed with onions and carrots
Carry-over ideas:
- Chicken enchiladas with leftover shredded chicken
- Risotto with peas and shredded chicken
- Penne alfredo with sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms and shredded chicken
- Manicotti stuffed with ricotta and shredded chicken
- Chicken pot pie
First meal: Pot roast with carrots and celery
Carry-over ideas:
- Carne asada soft tacos, leftover shredded beef reconstituted with some taco seasonings
- Rigatonni or Polenta with shredded beef in rich beef ragu (puree leftover pot roast vegetables and gravy, add tomato sauce and cook down)
- Shepherds pie, also using leftover mashed potatoes if you served that with the pot roast
First meal: Oven roasted pork tenderloin
Carry-over ideas:
- Chile verde
- White bean pork chili
- Pulled pork sandwiches (it's a lot leaner than a pork butt or shoulder, so you'll need to basically chip the meat and add the BBQ sauce and simmer for a bit)
