I found something to do with my failed Whipped Topping.
After successfully making Peanut Butter and Yogurt Popsicles, I got the idea to use that failed topping and make peanut butter & cream popsicles. Then, I got the idea to add grape juice.
Ingredients:
These are approximate estimates.
2 Tblspns Creamy peanut butter
2 cups cream or milk
1/3 cup grape juice
Process:
In a bowl, mix the ingredients. Mash peanut butter with a spoon against the edge of the bowl to mix it with the milk and juice. Continue to stir until mixture is fairly smooth.
The mixture will be like a soup.
Pour mixture into popsicle tray. Insert popsicle sticks or handles, or pour mixture into several small freezer containers with lids.
Freeze for 6-8 hours.
While these popsicles taste good, in the future, I think I will reduce the amount of cream and increase the amount of grape juice. Also, I will probably experiment with other mixtures and flavors.

It's Been a Month of Leftovers and Only One New Recipe - Easy Canned Oyster Sliders with Coleslaw
While I tried several recipes, most need a redo. But, I really enjoyed using three cheeses: mozzarella, feta, and parmesan together in many ways.
Cucumber-yogurt dressing is good but needs work.
Chicken Soup
Made enough for 9 servings but recipe needs a redo.
Spanish Rice
Been living off of a variety of leftovers and making quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches, wedge & chicken salads, potatoes, meatballs, sliders, chicken soup, rice, cabbage, breakfast & desserts, and experimenting with freezing items, and more. See list below.
Quesadillas
Quesadillas
- Peanut butter and apple slices
- Three-cheeses & mushrooms
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
- Three cheeses & tomato
- Three cheeses & mushrooms
- Three cheeses & avocado slices
Wedge Salads

PB & yogurt popsicles came out good but because I made multiple adjustments, I lost track of them, needs a redo.
Experiments

Tried defrosted chicken in chicken salad. It was good but maybe would be better heated up a bit.
Blanched and froze 1/4 cabbage and now the....
Freezer is full.
