Peach Vinegar

September 13, 2010 by Ellen · 1 Comment 

Yesterday I made a peach crisp with some of the Indian Blood peaches from our tree.  I remembered using the pits and peels a few years ago to make peach vinegar and decided to try it again.  It’s deceptively simple but I wish I’d had more peelings and pits.  Just tie together the pits and [...]

Chicken and Sour Cream Enchiladas

January 15, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Feeds 4 with lots of rice and beans and maybe a salad. Okay, I need to perfect this. It doesn’t have quite the flavor I was hoping for. I think the sour cream is key. I think maybe a tomatillo sauce instead of the green chilies could be good. Still, this was good, just a [...]

Candied Orange Peels

January 4, 2010 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Save a few orange peels, slice them thinly, cook with some sugar… Mmmm!  Like marmalade on steroids or something, because we don’t really like marmalade here but we love candied orange peels! These are a classic winter holiday treat for us. We are lucky to have an orange tree so have an endless supply of [...]

What to do with Leftover Turkey: Turkey Enchiladas

November 28, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

When you’re tired of turkey hash and turkey soup and turkey sandwiches, make these turkey enchiladas!  Totally not “leftovers” but just a great Mexican-oriented meal.  I made half green sauce and half red sauce enchiladas. The green sauce was store-bought, the red sauce was this enchilada sauce recipe. For the enchiladas, chop up a bunch [...]

Chicken Salad Sandwich and Soup

October 31, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

A dinner of leftovers tonight. I can hardly cook when the doorbell keeps ringing! First, I had some leftover Sort of Mexican Chicken Soup.  I added a large spoonful of this avocado pico del gallo and some crushed tortilla chips. Mmm! I also used the last of the cooked chicken to make a chicken salad [...]

Sort of Mexican Chicken Soup

October 29, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I wanted some soup for lunches later in the week so cooked this up to go with the carne asada soft tacos I was making for dinner. I wanted something Mexican oriented and with some vegetables so played around a bit and came up with this soup. I used some corn I had frozen after [...]

Meatball Sandwich Recipe: Use Up Those Leftover Meatballs!

October 15, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

In truth, there’s hardly a recipe for a meatball sandwich. At its simplest, you take a French or hoagie roll, put a few meatballs on it, ladle some spaghetti sauce on it and eat. If you want to get a bit fancier, you’d use your own homemade meatballs. My favorite recipe uses ground pork and [...]

Chicken Panini Sandwich with Roasted Red Peppers

I really made too many chicken cutlets the other night. However, they are good simply reheated.  Last night I used some up in a

Chicken Divan Casserole from Leftover Chicken Cutlets

September 24, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

We had chicken cutlets last night for dinner, special request from college daughter that was home visiting a night.  I had leftovers, because I tend to make too much. Leftover cutlets are good reheated if you’re careful. Or you can turn them into any number of good chicken sandwiches, like these
