What’s for dinner?

Some weeks instead of buying chicken breasts ($$$) I'll buy the whole chicken. I broke down and deboned the whole thing and all usable meat went into the Dutch oven for a huge batch of chicken salad (dinner tonight and lunches this week) and the bones and carcass into the kettle for stock. Doesn't always make sense every week when some of our dinner plans require ground meat or chicken breasts specifically, but for $10 of organic grown meat I'll get a lot of options this week. Same price as a pack of 2 chicken breasts around here lately

We do something similar with a $5 Costco rotisserie chicken: for the two of us, legs, wings and thighs make a meal, breasts another, and the rest a healthy batch of chicken soup. Three decent meals for less than a big mac.

oh yeah with the chicken soup. Wifey uses 3 carcasses for the best chicken stock that we freeze and put in anything that calls for it. Wait a minute...stock...broth...soup?
 
Leftover ribs? What’s that??
It was a big rack, far too much for the 2 of us to eat in one sitting. You might say the leftover ribs were planned as the base for another meal. For tonight, it was a toss up between fried rice or tacos - this time tacos lost.
