Meal Prep & Leftover Tips

Air Fryer Whole Chicken: You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Leftover roasted chicken makes a terrific chicken salad, sandwiches, chicken tacos, and it is great to use in soup.


Oven roasted asparagus spears topped with crumbled feta cheese on a serving platter

Roasted Asparagus: Any extra moisture can steam the spears instead of roasting them, so pat them dry before they hit the pan. Spread asparagus in a single layer with a little space between spears so they roast and caramelize instead of turning soggy.


Black bowl with roasted pesto potato salad sprinkled with parmesan cheese and fresh basil.

Roasted Potato Pesto Salad: If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. To serve, let them come to room temperature.


White bowl with blueberry cobbler and a scoop of vanilla ice cream resting on a tan placemat with silver forks.

Blueberry Cobbler: Fresh peaches, raspberries, apples, cherries, or blackberries are great to use instead of blueberries.


Blueberry Lemon Scone served with fresh berries and coffee.

Blueberry Lemon Scones: I recommend using fresh blueberries over frozen because the juice is less likely to bleed into the scone dough, but you can absolutely use frozen or dehydrated blueberries for this recipe.


Stuffed deviled eggs on a white plate, sprinkled with paprika.

Creamy Southern Deviled Eggs: For an added twist, try incorporating finely chopped dill pickles, sweet pickle relish, or dill pickle relish into the yolk mixture.

Bird’s Nest Cookies: Fun additions include pastel or seasonal sprinkles, caramel drizzle, crushed pretzels for extra crunch, or a spoonful of peanut butter swirled into the melted chips.


Spiral cut Copycat Honey Baked Ham served for Thanksgiving and Christmas has a sweet crunchy glaze and is easy to make.

Copycat Honey Baked Ham: Start with a bone-in spiral ham. It stays juicy, has incredible flavor, and the slices practically fall apart when you serve it.
