Use what you got. Create something good!
Fried chicken thighs
Mashed potatoes with gravy
Cooked carrots
I used to be a SaladMaster dealer. It’s waterless greaseless cooking system.
Fried chicken without grease. I use my electric skillet preheated to 400. As soon as at temperature, simply put chicken in pan, skin side down. Comes out crispy and very moist.
Potatoes, boil as normal and save the potato water to deglaze the chicken pan. I added 2 T butter and about 1/4 C milk.
Gravy- after adding the potato water I added some water and about 1 T chicken grease. Boil and scrape the bottom. Add 1/4 C flour and 1T corn starch. Cook well to get rid of flour taste.
Add 1 C milk, stir well till desired thickness.
Cooked carrots. I used 4 carrots and grated then on fine. Add about 2 T water and cooked. This is the very best way 🤤
Cost
2 thighs $3.29
I know that’s high but we ordered online and they gave us wrong package.
Potatoes $1.36 6 small russets
Carrots $.44 4 carrots

The key here is using what you have and making something good!
