I thought it was a genius idea to choose leftovers as this weeks BSI – thanks for hosting this week Dave!
I had another breakfast pizza for breakfast, except when I got to work, I forgot an egg for the top!
So I think I am pretty good using leftovers. I recently made yankee pot roast soup with a leftover roast. When I looked in my fridge, only one thing jumped out to me. . . macaroni and cheese!
I chopped up some carrots:
Some zucchini:
I had four cups of chicken broth in a pot and added the veggies until they were crisp tender.
Add the macaroni and cheese for the last five minutes or so – you don’t want to overcook the macaroni and cheese otherwise the noodles will be over cooked and gummy.
I think I made comfort food just a bit more comfortable! 😀
I got home from work – it was so nice outside Tony and I hung outside for a while.
I had my last pumpkin ale – I really love this one – its not overly pumpkiny.
I went over to my friends house last night for a Partylite demonstration. Have you ever been to one? I actually ended up buying a couple food items (shocking!) and one Halloween candle. My friend is an amazing cook, and when she asked if I was coming I asked “did you make buffalo chicken dip?” Her answer was yes, so I was there!
And I may have had a few of these too:
Stats for Friday:
- I have no idea how many calories I had!
- 45 minute walk at lunch
Thanks to Christina for sending me a coupon for a free bottle of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce – its getting to be Chex Mix time! Do you make Chex Mix for the holidays? It’s also Christina’s birthday – go on over and wish her a great day!
Happy Saturday!
You can cook for me anytime!
Hey Biz… I love the shot of Tony…. Beer guzzlin gal and her cigar smoking guy… My kind of people, we have a house for sale in my Cul de Sac, want to move???

Didn’t you make a White Cheddar Soup? I bet that would be good with macaroni added to it. Although the one you made looks fabulous as usual!
I’m off to look at that dip recipe. I believe I love all things Buffalo 😉
Pumpkin ale sounds really good. That is not exactly a popular thing around here on the island. They are not too pumpkiny locally.
What a creative use for leftover mac and cheese! I haven’t done a BSI in forever, I’m so glad you still keep up with them.
Love love love buffalo chicken dip, now I may have to make some . . .
I’ve never made Chex Mix — only thing I’ve made with Chex is Puppy Chow/Muddie Buddies.
I love chex mix…thanks for the reminder. I love making soup out of leftovers, too. And I am going to check out the dip link, right now!
I would never have thought to turn leftover mac & cheese into soup! Brilliant! And Buffalo Chicken Dip is one of my favorites…next to Buffalo chicken pizza of course!
That dip looks so good, what was the next pic that you had a few of?
I made chex mix once years and years ago, now when the kids want I just but a bag and they snack on it for a while before they are bored 🙂 They like the cheese one and liked the choc sugar one they have for Christmas.
Spicy meatballs – its actually hot pepper jelly and barbecue sauce – you just heat those up, pour them over store bought meat balls – so addicting!
Yum, the mac n cheese soup looks so good!! I can’t believe you already got the coupon! Thanks for the birthday wishes 🙂
I told you I was making “Pot Roast Pot Pie” due to your inspiration with the Pot Roast soup – OMG – it was so good. My pics came out cruddy tho’ – so no post about it, but Pooldad said he liked it even better than my ever favorite Chicken version. YUM
Now please have your nice friend share her recipe for the dip, puhleeeeese! 🙂
Here is where I got the original recipe for this dip – I gave it to my friend and its always requested at family get togethers.

Check out Robin Sue’s recipe archive – prepare to drool a lot! 😀
Thanks so much – it is on the menu for the game tomorrow. That is going to be so good. And you aren’t kidding about your friend’s site.
Between the two of you I am going to actually gain weight. YUM!
Genius on the mac-n-cheese soup! I am not a huge fan of it re-heated so this is perfect. Pumpkin ale and buffalo chicken dip, yummmmmy.
I need to learn to get creative with leftovers. Ryan never eats them and it drives me INSANE!
Glad I am not alone – my husband only eats meatloaf and fried chicken as a leftover!
Yum, Chex mix. I have a coupon coming too, thanks to your sister! I may have to make some this year…
that definitely is crack dip!
The leftover soup sounds wonderful! I loved his pick for BSI too! Hope he gets a lot of response!
Chex mix is the devil! 😉
Love your creative use of mac and cheese for soup!
That dip sounds awesome Biz!!
I like the mac and cheese soup, although I was thinking it would be more of a cheesy soup vs. brothy….but I’m still going to make it!
I actually think a creamy base would work better too – but this was still good!
I love your BSI entry! And that dip looks really good and I don’t even LIKE buffalo chicken. Methinks me’d like the dip, though.
Happy Saturday to you to!
