This part of my blog is all about the things I collect or the things I make myself. I love so many things, I paint and draw and want to learn oils and pastels. I knit and crochet but want to learn tatting. I embroider and can turn my hand to most things given a chance. So much still to learn and do. I live in hope of some day reading all my books, learning all I want to learn and now I am learning to blog. You will often find my original poems, poor as they are I offer them here. I also appreciate other people art and will feature things I find that I have enjoyed. That includes pictures of fairies and fantasy or maybe just anything beautiful.
I try to use my own photo's as much as possible, sometimes I borrow from the web. If I inadvertently use your picture without giving credit, please do let me know and I will either credit or remove it, I hope you will do the same with mine.
If you wish to leave comments on my blog you can do that by joining google if you do not have a blog yourself, please comment if you can I appreciate that.

Leftovers...........what to do.

Gerry made spaghetti yesterday. He made way too much and we didn't have any meatballs or anything so it was just plain. Fine. I don't mind that. Well we went shopping at Sam's we needed a few things. They have these packages of Rotisserie chicken thighs, There is enough in them for us for at least two meals. As I am never sure how "fresh" they are I don't want them sitting in the fridge too long so...........as we had a whole bunch of leftover spaghetti and just a little sauce I made up a quick meal.
I had Gerry take the chicken off the bones for me. There was a lot of it. I took most of the noodles and put those in the bottom of an 8x8 dish. I sprinkled shredded cheese over it and topped with chicken shredded. On top of that I put the left over sauce. Not quite enough so I added a can of Diced tomatoes with peppers. I had used Mrs Dash as seasoning. On top or all of that I put the rest of the shredded cheese. That baked about 1/2 hour (350) until the cheese was browned and crunchy. I have to say it was Delicious. I will definitely do that again.



I wish I had thought to take pictures before it was cut, it looks sort of messy here, don't let that fool ya, it's awesome. Sort of like spaghetti but with that Mexican tang.
There was still a lot of chicken left. I gave the Poodles all some as a treat. I set aside enough for sandwiches tomorrow and made soup
So here is the quick soup method. 1 can of chicken broth. I can of Campbell's cream of chicken soup. I can of mixed veggies (with the water) add the chicken and salt. I cut up the left over noodles and it all made enough to have tomorrow with a chicken sandwich. Then the next day a big bowl of soup when we (hopefully) get home from our day out. So all in all the chicken that was ready cooked and under 5 dollars made us not only supper tonight but for two more days also and left overs from tonight's meal for lunch tomorrow.

Rotisserie chickens, the whole chickens also make a great way of a cheap meal. For the two of us it makes 3 or 4 meals. So there are ways to use the leftovers and make tasty and quick meals.
