What to make with this or that?
Have you ever looked at your pantry and say…I don’t want to go to the store…..What can I make with what I have. There are many websites (I bet you known this) that when you put in what you have then provide you with a couple meal ideas to choose from. It comes in handy when you are doing a no buy week or just want the eat from the pantry and save a little money. I’m new here so this might have already been mentioned but I have used it a couple times and will continue to use it. Happy pantry shopping !

@Lowell Lane I've haven't used ChatGPT for recipe ideas but my favorite go to has been Pinterest for a long time.
Clean out fridge soup
We had bought a family pack of chicken leg quarters. I put them in the oven a let them cook for about 4 hours with about a pint of water. Great broth. I looked in the fridge and I had carrots, celery, and a few potatoes in the cabinet. I heated the pot and added 2 Tablespoons oil. Sautéed the vegetables added salt, pepper , and a little Oregano. Cooked till tender. Added broth and chicken to let it cook another hour. So good! Had leftovers so next day added some egg noodles. Yummy 🤤 November challenge

Don't you love it when you can sort of reinvent a dish from leftovers by adding something new or deconstructing it?
Salmon bites and sweet potatoes.
I found an air fryer video on how to make Salmon bites, incredible. Cut Salmon into bite size pieces. Put in a bowl, add 3 T olive oil, salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and smoked paprika. Toss. Air fryer 15 minutes, 350 F. Shake 1/2 way. I don’t do Salmon any other way now. Sweet Potatoes Clean, cut end. Slice about 3/4 way down. Add a bit olive oil and a dash of salt. Bake in oven 45 minutes. Air fryer about 1/2 the time. Serve with butter, salt, and pepper. November challenge

Salmon and sweet potatoes - two of my favs.
Mini sausage rolls
I had never tried this before. I found this recipe and I am glad I did. This one is going in the family cookkbook. Author https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/mini-sausage-rolls I Altered from original Ingredients Nutrition - 1 large clove garlic - the more the better - handful of fresh parsley leaves - 1 pound of breakfast sausage - 1 pack ready-rolled puff pastry I only used 1 of the 2 pastries - 1 egg beaten step 1 Heat the oven to 400F. Crush the garlic and a little salt to a paste using a pestle and mortar, or use the flat of a knife on a chopping board. Mix together with the parsley and stir in 1 T cold water. step 2 Blend the sausage meat in a food processor (if using sausages, peel away the skins) on a high speed, pour the garlic water into the mixture, then season with pepper. Blend until combined. step 3 Unroll the pastry onto a board and cut in half lengthways. step 4 Divide the sausage mixture in two and spread along the length of each pastry strip in a cylinder shape, leaving a 1inch edge. step 5 Tightly roll the pastry around the sausage meat, pinch the edges, and brush the ends with the beaten egg to secure. step 6 Cut each roll into 10 pieces with a sharp knife, each about 1.5 inches long, and arrange on a baking sheet. Will keep, covered and frozen, for one month. step 7 Brush more beaten egg all over the pastry. Cook for 25-35 mins until the pastry is puffed and crisp and the meat has cooked through. I cooked mine for almost 45 minutes. I temped the sausage to make sure it was at least 165 degrees. Add an extra 10 mins if cooking from frozen. Eat hot or cold with tomato ketchup, if you like.
