Meal Prep & Leftover Tips

White Chicken Chili: If you plan to freeze it, make the recipe up to the step before adding cream cheese and half-and-half. Add those after thawing and reheating.


Golden sour cream cornbread 9 squares on white plate with butter and plates nearby on wooden table

Sour Cream Cornbread: Sour Cream Cornbread is a great make-ahead recipe. Once baked, cover with foil and store in the fridge. Heat in the oven when ready to serve.


Chopped salad with romaine lettuce, eggs, cubed cheese, cranberries and sliced almonds on a white plate with a gold fork.

Family Favorite Chopped Salad: Customize this salad with your favorite veggies and cheeses, or use whatever you have on hand. Add some extra flavor-boosters like nuts or seeds, sun-dried tomatoes, pepperoncinis, pickled veggies, and olives or capers!


Golden Neiman Marcus Cake squares piled on white plate with decorative rope charger, served with chocolate frosting and forks on marble surf

Neiman Marcus Cake: Use a good-quality yellow cake mix. A standard 15.25-ounce yellow cake mix gives you the best texture and flavor for that classic buttery crumb.​


Crispy Phyllo cups filled with pimento cheese then topped with sweet, slightly spicy red pepper jelly makes for delicious appetizer for the holidays, game day or whenever you're entertaining!

Pimento Cheese Bites: Experiment with different jellies to find your favorite. One of mine is jalapeño pepper jelly, but bacon jam also sounds amazing!


Honeycrisp Apple Muffins With Maple Glaze arranged on a white plate with sliced apples and cinnamon in the background

Honeycrisp Apple Muffins: Firm apples are best for baked goods because they can withstand the required baking time. I prefer Honeycrisp, but Granny Smith, Kinder Crisp, Gala, or Fuji work.

Sausage Frittata: The beauty of a frittata lies in its simplicity and adaptability. You can throw in almost any leftovers you have in the fridge—don’t let that handful of spinach, single potato, and leftover roast chicken go to waste, make a frittata.
