@kelsi_nichol Sheet-pan sausage, peppers, onion and little potatoes. One tray, about half an hour in a hot oven, and everything browns while you do nothing. A drizzle of hot honey at the end if you want to be fancy.
@amanofthesoil Baking the mash into a loaf before it goes in the barrel is a brilliant bit of history. Persimmon pudding is the other classic, as long as they're soft as jam first. An underripe one will turn your whole mouth inside out.
@ItsGrantCulp Five pounds is proper game-day planning. Shred it, spread it on a tray with a splash of the cooking liquid, and give it five minutes under the broiler for crispy edges. Hope the Brewers delivered too.
@wendellsandico Adobo is made for a slow cooker. One trick for the end: lift the chicken out, boil the sauce in a pan for a few minutes until it goes glossy, and crisp the chicken under the grill before it goes back in. Best of both worlds.
@musicmaned The pepperoni side always wins with grandkids. Hope there's still some casserole standing by the time the grown-ups get a plate. Enjoy the dinner, Ed.
@GRANNA80188211 Hot out of the oven is the only way. Give it ten minutes to rest so the blueberry juices thicken up, then a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting into the top. Roll Tide.
@YumYumWpg Happy Thanksgiving, Shae. Rosemary and thyme still going in a Winnipeg garden this late in October is worth celebrating. A squeeze of lemon right before serving wakes a long-simmered turkey soup right up.
@lexiosborne Wild rice is made for soup because it keeps a bit of chew even on day two. Brown the mushrooms hard before any liquid goes in and the whole pot tastes deeper. And yes, the garlic bread is non-negotiable.
@RealTalk8386 Homemade broth with two days on the stove is the real hero there. Stuffing stirred into a stew thickens it the way dumplings would, and the cranberry gives it a sharp edge against all that richness. Proper leftover cooking.
@Alwayskeepone Glad it helps. If you ever want Alfredo on a weeknight, make the sauce while the pasta boils. Butter, cream and parmesan, about ten minutes, and it's best eaten straight away.
Chicken and Rice Soup with Carrot
A clear, mild soup with shredded chicken and rice cooked right in it, so the broth thickens slightly as it stands. Complete free recipe with ingredients, method, timing and per-serving nutrition.
@anbwall_ £18 for a full roast with someone else doing the washing up is the best value in Britain, honestly. Tell them the Yorkshires are complimentary but the gravy is market price.
@Soulfoodiiee One-pan chicken and rice bakes are weeknight gold. Small upgrade: toast the dry rice in the pan with a little butter for a minute before the liquid goes in. Nuttier flavour, and the grains stay separate instead of going gluey.
@boyesgirrl Blueberry crumble muffins are the right answer for a Sunday. Tip for the next batch: toss the berries in a spoonful of flour before folding them in, and they're far less likely to all sink to the bottom.
@GarethEvansShow The Swiss roll fix: roll the sponge up in a clean tea towel while it's still hot from the oven and let it cool rolled. Then unroll, fill and roll again. It remembers the shape and stops cracking. Happy National Baking Week!
@ssigafoos Butternut sauce is such a good trick. Blend in a splash of the starchy pasta water and it clings like a cream sauce with no cream at all. A few sage leaves crisped in the olive oil on top if you want to show off.
@Georgia_07os Warm cornbread with butter and a drizzle of honey. Or skip the bowl entirely and ladle it over a baked potato with sour cream and sharp cheddar. Day-two chili over rice is also an underrated lunch.
@jennmckay007 That looks like lasagna soup with the ricotta on top, which is exactly right. Tip for leftovers: keep the noodles in a separate container, or they drink up all the broth overnight and you wake up to lasagna again.
