The main point of it is to give it some moisture and hold it together but I sometimes wonder if it might taste better if it was sweeter, although I don't want just the added sugar, so... I don't know.

Save the carcass after<br />Day 2 take a thigh and some white meat and stir fry with a whole lot of veggies and rice<br />Day 3 make soup with carcass<br />Day 4 use whatever chicken is remaining for chicken salad lunch<br />Days 5-7 continue eating soup for lunch<br />Day 8 Roast chicken dinner. Use leftovers for Chipotle style burrito bowls or tacos<br /><br />Mish-Mosh (Fridge Clean Out Pasta)<br />1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes<br />1 onion<br />2 cloves garlic<br />1lb ground meat of choice (I prefer beef or turkey)<br />questionable produce or bits and bobs of frozen veg<br />spices (I lean Italian on this, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, thyme)<br />Half box pasta<br /><br />Put up water to boil, make pasta as directed. Dice onion and saute until translucent over high heat then add pressed or minced garlic (or powder, w/e) then add tender vegetables such as zucchini, peppers, or green beans. Steam harder vegetables in the microwave to half done-ness first. Add meat and break up like for meat sauce or chili. Then add in the tomatoes and spices. Don't be shy with the spice. If using frozen veg or greens, add them next and put the lid on it and turn the heat down to medium. It's done when the meat and pasta is done. I mix the pasta in with the sauce on the stove and then serve it mixed up, it makes sure that more of the sauce is eaten. <br /><br />My low budget secret weapon of choice is the black bean burrito bowl from simply recipes. http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/black_bean_burrito_bowl/ I can gussy it up with as many fixings as I like or serve it simply with full fat greek yogurt and hot salsa. It's healthy and my kid thinks it's delicious. <br /><br />I also like to make a 3 bean chili using black, pinto, and kidney beans. I can usually get three meals out of 1 pot. Day 1 as chili in a bowl with cheddar cheese and corn bread, day 2 as chili spaghetti with cheese and onions and whatnot, and day three with rice. I pretty much live on pasta, rice, and stew with oatmeal for breakfast.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03792197358143132340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828879467490478491.post-67966004853961948812014-11-16T20:54:55.942-06:002014-11-16T20:54:55.942-06:00Now that is what I call full blown cooking!

I got the idea to cook meat in the roux because I was pressed for time. It doesn't work with frozen meat, because the water will pour off into the roux, diluting it. If you have frozen, put it in during step 4.<br /><br />Cajun Gumbo<br /><br />3/4 c flour<br />1/2 c vegetable oil<br />1 onion chopped fine <br />1 green bell pepper chopped fine<br />1 celery rib chopped fine<br />4 garlic cloves, crushed<br />1 tsp thyme<br />1/2 tsp cayenne pepper<br />1 tsp paprika<br />1 tsp oregano<br />1 (14 oz can) tomatoes, diced<br />1 bullion cube<br />4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed<br />4 andouille (or Italian spicy) sausages, sliced thin<br />OPTIONAL: substitute 2 chicken thighs for a half pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined. I don't like leftovers with shrimp so I almost never use it, but you can sub some or all of the chicken for seafood for a more authentic feel.<br />1 bag frozen sliced okra<br />pepper to taste<br />instead of salt: soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or fish sauce to taste. I usually use 2 tablespoons of fish sauce for a big pot, which adds to the meatiness without tasting too fishy<br />One oven safe pot, 3 qt capacity<br /><br />1. Take out the frozen bag of okra, set oven to 350F. Pat moisture from chicken and sausage with a paper towel. I usually use two paper towels, you don't want any water on there.<br /><br />2. In an ovenproof pot, whisk flour and oil together. Nestle meat in the pot and bake, stirring every 15 minutes or so until the flour takes on the color of an old penny. This takes about a half hour in my oven and it makes the chicken and sausage really crispy. If you don't like crispy in this recipe, you can add the chicken and sausage later in the recipe and save on paper towels.<br /><br />3. Take out the roux and put it med heat on the stovetop. Saute onion, celery, green peppers until soft, about eight minutes. Add in the garlic and saute until it smells like garlic, about a minute more. I add in the spices here.<br /><br />4. When the bottom of the pan starts to get sticky, add tomatoes, bullion cube, shrimp, if using, (you can add in the chicken and sausage here if you don't like the crispy texture on meat) and enough water to stir comfortably without overfilling the pan. I think I usually average three cups of water, so start there and add more if needed.<br /><br />5. Allow the mixture to simmer for a half hour more. It will thicken considerably from the okra, which is usually the last thing to cook through in my recipe. <br /><br />6. Taste and add in salt substitute. Worcestershire and fish sauce are both made with anchovies, but I find Worcestershire is sweeter. Soy sauce is also a good substitute, and you can just use leftover packets from the last time you got takeout. Each packet is roughly 1 tbsp.<br /><br />Serve warm over rice or with crusty French bread. Makes 8 cups of gumbo.GEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4828879467490478491.post-22355365127209156742014-11-16T10:00:49.996-06:002014-11-16T10:00:49.996-06:00I'm baking them now and they smell great.
