and the idea with the buffalo sauce and alfredo sounds delish!..will definitely try it that way for the next go round..we had on rice/with the tails…but we have jars of less fat alfredo from Kroger’s sale previously just waiting on my shelf..that way the food won’t look the same every time we serve..

and I read on some of the other posts about people not having all the right tools/toys/equipment…I’m a kitchen junkie(and older) so have doubles/triples of about any possible toy you could want..BUT…I’ve found some of the larger 2nd hand shops will have a bazillion rice cookers, Donvier ice cream makers, pans, etc..as more and more people are just buying prepped foods and not cooking they are deep sixing the tools…in Idaho there was a store called Savers and every Monday they would sell anything that had been around for a month for 99 cents..I accumulated gorgeous rice cookers, bamboo steamers (dim sum/tamales), Donvier, toaster ovens, crockpots, you name it…it’s worth browsing a little to get to know your area rather than buying another full priced item..and/or making a request on your local freecycle…so many people just have the stuff gathering dust in their pantry..just a thought to have your toys on the cheap!
