Following on from my post ‘Leftovers – Use Your Roast Chicken’ I found this great recipe on an American blog called Annie Eats. It really looks delicious and I will definitely be cooking this next time we have roast chicken; it is ideal for using up the leftovers and making them into another tasty dish.

I think it also important to note that I love the blog Annie Eats. Like me Annie is young, married, with a baby, only two months older than my own son and she loves cooking. The only difference is she is American and I am British, oh and she has been blogging a lot longer than me! Her blog has beautiful recipes and pictures and the site itself is beautiful designed. It is interesting to note that for other Mums the blog does include ideas on food for your baby and since my baby is a similar age it is perfect for me.

I hope you enjoy the site as much as I have.

On my meal plan page I plan a roast dinner once a week. In England we love to have a roast dinner on Sunday, but it’s not always the case as often I like to do a slow cooked joint of meat in my ‘crock pot’ midweek. One reason I like to have a roast each week is the cost; I use the leftovers in lots of different meals during the week and so from one purchase I have many meals. When I cook a roast chicken I am usually able to make another meal, a round of sandwiches and a litre of stock. Here I give you 10 ways to use your leftover chicken, but as a guide I use my leftovers within three days or I freeze them to be cooked hot again another day – remember to make sure all reheated food has been cooked piping for several minutes before serving. You may find this link helpful for advice on reheating food
