Planned Leftovers
I watched Sandra Lee on Food Network this morning. People love to put her down, but she has her finger on the pulse of how people cook (especially those who are still working). It resonated with me because I had just made chicken and corn chowder last night using a leftover piece of chicken breast - chicken & corn chowder can be pretty quick to make if you have precooked chicken on hand. Safeway used to sell whole rotisserie chickens on Friday for $5 each and that's probably what she is referring to when she mentions the price. In any case, she stripped the chicken and made two meals with the meat and then grilled enough vegetables for two meals. Nobody is saying you can't roast your own chicken to strip, but her demographic is obviously families with two working parents who are home at 6PM and need to have the kids fed, bathed and tucked into bed by 8 at the latest. I saved all three recipes. If you're interested, here's the link. http://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/san...ly-simple.html -- I take life with a grain of salt, a slice of lemon and a shot of tequila |

I like some of Sandra Lee's round 1 and round 2 ideas with her Money Saving Meals show. I never paid any attention to this show. She really lost me with Semi-Homemade Meals. I use my fair share of prepared items and shortcuts, but she was beyond even me. The prepared and convenience items I noticed on the Money Saving Meals recipes I skimmed are reasonable and you could certainly substitute homemade if you prefer. I should try a few recipes. I know my family would like the chicken corn chowder. Tara |
