Today Sandra is kicking back and taking it slow...and so is her menu! Whether it’s simmering in a slow cooker or baking in an oven, these recipes show how tender and juicy food can be when slowly cooked. The menu starts with a steamy and cheesy French Onion Soup. Then it’s a savory Chicken and Turkey Pot Pie with Pepper Biscuit Topping. For dessert, Sandra gets adventurous with her Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding with Ginger Sauce. You won’t believe how simple it is! Then it’s cocktail time, made in a slow cooker, it’s Hot Spiced Sangria.
Cook once, eat twice! It's all about practical cooking as Alex Guarnaschelli hosts a look back at some of The Kitchen's best recipes that use leftovers in simple, creative ways. Alex makes Braised Chicken Thighs with Tomatoes and Olives then turns it into a Mediterranean Pasta. Katie Lee Biegel gives leftovers a makeover with her Freezer Fix Shepherd's Pie, and Geoffrey Zakarian uses leftover pork for his Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe. Then, Sunny Anderson whips up an Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup, Geoffrey transforms leftover mashed potatoes into crispy Pierogies with Sour Cream Dip, and Jeff Mauro works his magic with leftover rice to make Carbonara Arancini.
