    Last week I cooked a roast, the first night we had it with potatoes and carrots, the next night we made sandwiches with it an put on our condiments of choice and served with raw veggies and chips, then I made it with a box of the Kraft mac n cheese (with the cheese pouch, not the dry) I put frozen broccoli in the boiling water (shorter than the noodles) so it would cook, after draining and adding the cheese sauce I added a can of fire roasted tomatoes(drained) and my shredded roast, after that I added it to spaghetti (instead of hamburger I just used my shredded roast), the rest of the roast has been froze into meal size packages. I love to cook this way, some days I have more time to cook than others and some days I just don't want to cook, but we always have good meals no matter what day it is and we do not feel like we are eating the same thing all the time. I find that things like this can be done with chicken and pork also. Thanks for your take on this type of cooking, I will have to try those recipes and I am wondering if my husband would like the bbq pork pizza.

    I make extra rice anytime I cook it, and put the extra in the fridge. Then I can make fried rice later in the week. It's one of my kids favorite meals and a great way to use leftover veggies or meat.

    I make a large batch of chicken soup, but don’t add the noodles or rice before I freeze it into 3 portions. One batch stays soup and I add the noodles or rice when serving it. Second batch becomes chicken pot pie, I add cooked diced potatoes, strain the broth and thicken it into gravy, and use store bought pie crust or biscuits to top it before it’s baked. Third batch becomes chicken casserole- straining and thickening the broth and added noodles or rice before I bake.
    You can add different veggies to the pot pie or casserole ( like broccoli or frozen peas) to switch things up.

    I cook about four chicken breast in slow cooker, seasoned with chicken bouillon cubes. I make: sour cream enchiladas, chicken salad, chicken & dumplings, chicken pot pie, tortilla soup, chicken & sausage gumbo, pot stickers, chicken spaghetti, chicken spaghetti casserole, chicken fried rice, cheesy chicken casserole…etc. all comes from boiling some chicken. I usually get around four dishes from three large chicken breast( the extra large ones).

    Mindy, if you use some Dijon mustard on the raw salmon using a knife to spread it on, then sprinkle your seasoned bread crumbs they will stick and mustard gives it a great flavor! I do this with my Italian pork chops.

    The recipe for the pulled pork spice mixture sounds extremely similar to the Pioneer Woman recipe?? That's the mixture I use with my roasted pulled pork and it's perfect! Thanks for your videos 😊

    The salmon sounds delicious. What I do with salmon fillets sometimes is a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic & herb seasoning and a little pepper. Another way I cook salmon fillets is in the instant pot with real maple syrup and a little mustard. I use a really good quality grainy mustard called Canadian maple or dijon. The salmon fillets cook in just a few minutes in the IP and they are not dry.

    I roast my pork butts in the oven. The skin gets crispy and delicious. Then after we slice and eat some, the next day, I instant pot it and shred it and use it for barbecue pork or a sort of carnitas or al pastor tacos or something like that. I have made chicken and beef stock. But, I have found that the pork broth a butt makes is one of the best broths I make.
