Blend Yer Leftovers!! Leftover roasted chicken and veggies? Waste not want not! I put them in a blender with water, chicken broth powder and a bit of olive oil (because I swear olive oil is a cure along with garlic). It made a creamy smooth soup that I shared with friends as it made soooo much and was [...]

Personally I like it savory with spices on it like “Spike” or other pre-mixed poultry [...]

(They allow me to eat Pizza every once in awhile) Fresh onion and garlic are better than vitamins to me so I was liberal [...]
