Cold Sesame Noodles with Chicken and Cucumbers

September 19, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I pretty much followed Mark Bittman’s recipe here for Cold Noodles with Sesame Sauce, Chicken and Cucumers. I had simmered a whole chicken the other night to make King Ranch Chicken Casserole, which we had for dinner and then my daughter took for lunch a few times and I had for lunch as well.  It [...]

Rice Salad with Chicken, Artichokes and Red Peppers

My mom gave me this recipe. Things always taste better when she makes them but this still came out good!   I was missing one ingredient so did a substitution but I don’t think that was the critical piece. Not sure what she did different but I will try to figure it out!  For the record, [...]

Easy French Dip Sandwich Recipe

September 3, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Here’s my normal French Dip Sandwich recipe, but it requires hours of time, a crock pot and perhaps more beef than you might like (although it does freeze well, especially if you freeze it in the jus/juice).   Driving home from school today, youngest and I talked about dinner and settled on French dip sandwiches.  We [...]

Sort-of Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

Since neither of us were starving tonight but we still needed to eat dinner, I opted for a sandwich. One of us had had a chicken taco salad for lunch so I didn’t want to do another “salad with meat” thing.  I had these fantastic breaded chicken cutlets from the other night so went for [...]

I never make taco meat just to have a taco salad but it sure is a great way to use up the leftovers a day or so after having tacos.  I like to use a little Catalina salad dressing on mine for a Catalina Taco Salad. It just adds a nice sweet touch. My kids [...]

Chicken Salad Sandwich: Simple is Good

May 21, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Sometimes the simplest dinners are so good!  I had barbecued some chicken leg quarters the other night, after marinating them in the best chicken marinade.  We had one leg quarter left over.  Last night for dinner I turned it into chicken salad for some great sandwiches. Pull the skin off the chicken and pull the [...]

Leftover Hamburger and Hot Dog Buns

We had a wonderful suprise birthday party barbecue here last weekend. It left me with some surplus hot dog and hamburger buns. Some I made room for in the freezer.  Here are a few other ideas if you find yourself in the same situation. These are things I’ve done in the past that worked out [...]

Soup from Leftovers

March 19, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I made a soup tonight from bits and pieces and it turned out quite good. I had a tub of some leftover frozen squash and corn and lima beans in the freezer, which I incorporated. I had also frozen some leftover tortellini one night, thinking it would be good in soup.  When I make chicken [...]
