Cooking Live-February 25, 2025 (Blizzard of 2026 Fridge Cleanout Food)

Posted by Suzy Sapir on Feb 26th 2026

Tonight was completely unscripted recipe wise. There was no way I was hitting the stores after the blizzard dumped three feet of snow on us! So I did what all resourceful New Englanders do....we make it work with whatever the hell we have on hand.

In my case I had a bag of cheese sticks plus breadcrumbs and eggs and flour. I had enough oil for frying and turned these into fried mozzarella sticks that were so good! 

I also had chicken tenders, bacon, cream cheese, homemade cheese, lemons, pasta and leftover herbs. I turned the chicken into a cheese stuffed and bacon wrapped pillow of deliciousness that my mom used to make. Then I whipped up an easy lemon butter garlic pasta.

We look at our fridge, freezer and pantry daily and think we have nothing to make. I didn't even shop for the storm and had all this stuff to pull these three dishes together. 

We also loved having Lindsay's dad Fred as a special guest!

Enjoy!
