Reviving this thread because it's so useful!
I had a yellow squash from last week's CSA box and I don't care for squash, so I found a summer squash bread recipe (like the squash version of zucchini bread) and made muffins, which are delicious and made a great breakfast. Relatively low-cal, too.
This morning I threw the following into the InstantPot on slow-cooker mode: a pack of chicken breasts that have been in the freezer, frozen black beans that I'd cooked and frozen quite a while ago, pinto beans that I soaked overnight (plus the water), 3/4 of a jar of leftover salsa, the leftover half of an onion, a brick of cream cheese that had been in the back of the fridge (but had not expired), and some cumin, chili powder, dried cilantro and a dash of cayenne. I'll shred the chicken when I get home after work. Et voila! Creamy chicken chili that will be served over rice that I cooked last night. Might slice up some green onion on top, too, and now that I think about it, there are some deli slices of cheddar that need used up. Might chop that and let it melt on top. YUM!!! Oh, and there are a couple flavorino tomatoes left that I could chop. (see next paragraph)
Last night I used two packets of pizza dough, pressed it thin onto a greased cookie sheet, covered it in olive oil and minced garlic, then sprinkled chopped basil from our balcony plant, sliced some flavorino tomatoes from last week's CSA box, chopped a little onion, and then covered all that with a bag of shredded mozzarella that had been in the fridge for at least two weeks, plus shaved some parmesan on top. Put it in a hot oven (450 degrees) and OMG is was delicious last night and then again for lunch today.
Still need to do something with that kale ...
