Leftover Lasagna
April 28, 2008 - Written by Deb Ng
No, I’m not talking about lasagna that’s left over from a few days ago, I’m talking about lasagna made with leftovers. Every now and then I like to make Leftover Lasagna.
Let me explain…
When I make the sauce for my lasagna, I generally use the crockpot. If I’m not making it from scratch, like today, I put a jar or two of the store bought stuff into the crockpot, add some ground beef, sausage and sausage and let simmer for the entire day. During the last couple of hours I throw in some leftovers. For instance, the taco beef from last night? In the sauce. Zucchinis, carrots, and red orange and green peppers from a salad? In the sauce. Spinach? In the sauce. Now my sauce has lots of nutritious veggies and the left overs aren’t going to waste.
In case you’re wondering. I’ve never had a Leftover Lasagna taste bad. The sauce always tastes delicious. I wouldn’t put anything too outlandish in there, somehow though it …
Using Guacamole as a Condiment
April 12, 2008 - Written by Deb Ng
The other day after I reviewed Wholly Guacamole, a commentator named Robert suggested I use it as a sandwich spread. I don’t know why this didn’t occur to me before. I love to top my burgers with guacamole instead of ketchup or cheese, why not a sandwich?
I’m here to tell you guacamole is now my favorite condiment. In addition to topping burgers, guacamole is heaven when spread on a sandwich including fresh turkey or chicken, some tomato and even a little pepperjack cheese. I’m not much of a mayonnaise person and I’m not a big fan of mustard with chicken or turkey. From now on it’s guacamole every time.

Crockpot Wings Featuring T.J. Morgan’s Teriyaki Sauce
February 13, 2008 - Written by Deb Ng 
I’m having car problems and the roads are icy today, so I didn’t feel like going to the supermarket as previously planned. Even so, there wasn’t much food to work with in my freezer. I settled on a package of chicken wings. Now, I’m not my husband. He doesn’t mind venturing out in 18 degrees to grill up a batch of wings. I’m not that ambitious. What I decided to do was slow cook them in my crockpot.
A few months ago Buff sent me some T.J.Morgan’s Basting Sauce, and I’ve been finding some good uses for it. Today I marinated my chicken wings with the TJ. Morgan’s Teriyaki Sauce – using the Vacu-Seal to get the job done quicker – and slow cooked the wings to perfection. They’re just about falling off the bone. And Ok, I sample a couple since dinner won’t be for a while, and they’re absolutely out of this world.
T.J.Morgans touts itself as a basting sauce, but I also use it as a marinade. The Teriyaki sauce is absolutely divine. Friends, don’t be afraid to experiment in your kitchen. Sometimes the …
