Everything but the kitchen sink.
A case of the pot calling the kettle black.
A watched pot never boils.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Feed a cold, starve a fever.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
No use crying over spilt milk.
What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
A chicken in every pot.
Easy as pie.
Piece of cake.
Sweetie-pie.
You can't get blood out of a turnip.
You can't make a cake without breaking a few eggs.
Man cannot live on bread alone.
What foods these morsels be. (From the wall at Manero's Restaurant.)
The legislative process is like watching sausage being made.

If that's allowed, then certainly this should be as well :

Officer, your eyes are glazed, have you been eating doughnuts ?

They F*** you at the drive-through!

Nice pate, but I've got to motor.

He's milking it for all its worth.

That's not kosher with me.

salt of the earth

for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

nothing anymore, except to be thrown out and trampled

Good one. I hadn't thought of that. Then there's breaking bread,
casting your bread upon the water and manna from heaven.

A bun in the oven (pregnant)
She walked through like she was sniffing pies in heaven (for someone who
looks proud or stuck-up)
You really toasted my buns that time
That was cheesy
Clamming up
Have your cake and eat it, too
Don't cry over spilled milk
milksop
candy-a**
cotton-candy clouds
candy-apple red
slower than molasses in January
Syrupy (voice, manner)
Sweet as sugar
Sweet as pie
Better than chocolate
Do the mashed potato
My goose is cooked
Mutton dressed up as lamb
What's your beef?
Saccharine-sweet (falsely polite person)
She's a tart (not sure how food-related this really is)
He's a beef-cake
Honey-bun, sugar-pie
Shriveled like a raisin
He's an old prune
I sunburned until I was lobster-red
He's a shrimp
I'm in a stew
Thick as pea-soup
Look at the little peanut! (for a small child)
Honey (as a term of endearment)

Originally, for example, a thirty-something dressed like a
teeny-bopper. By extension, anything trying to masquerade
as something else.

Dunno if *your* reply fits the prior poster's message better than any other,
but...

I like "as welcome as a hair in a biscuit," personally.

Packed in like sardines

He's into the sauce -- booze
