Dear Pinky,
What's your favorite leftover dish? And more importantly, what yummy thing can I make with leftover chicken breast and broccoli?

Yours truly,

Dear Food Saver,

My goodness, what an interesting question. This is why I get out of the bed in the morning, just knowing that people NEED me.My wisdom. Ah, yes.

OK, now that I have that out of my system:
Saute copious mound of garlic in olive oil. Add walnuts and golden raisins and stir until they are all coated and shiny. The raisins will plump up all lovely. Toss in hot pepper flakes. Stir in broccoli. Get everything nice and warm. Add to a big bowl of hot steaming rotini with handfuls of shredded parmesan. The best pasta ever, and so nutritious.

Then, cube or shred the chicken. Toss with olive oil, rice wine vinegar, toasted sliced almonds, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and cucumber. Very fine, little fat, lots of yummy.

Now you have hot pasta and cold chicken salad. You are all set for the eating.

Your friend,
