"To track down the most clever uses for leftover plastic fruit containers, we tapped into the Reddit hive mind and saw what people were saying on a zero-waste thread. As expected, the responses did not disappoint, and we can back up several of them with our personal experiences as well. So, without further ado, let's get to it so you can stop tossing your plastic fruit container straight into the trash and breathe a little bit of extra life into them before they eventually find themselves in a landfill. It's a small win, but it'll be a win for both the planet and us all the same."  Comment from Food Republic

Those fruit containers are actually pretty useful and I recycle them much like the advise in the article.  However, I did learn some new clever ideas.

"If you love my Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits, this Cheddar Bay Biscuit Bread has the same buttery, garlicky cheddar flavor, just baked right in a bread pan. Slice it warm and serve it with basically anything. It’s a must-make! Trust me!"  Comment from The Recipe Critic

I agree it is a must-make!  Love Red Lobster's Cheddar Bay Biscuits and I will be making this bread soon.

"A creamy chicken filling meets a sweet, golden cornbread topping in this cozy chicken cornbread casserole. Best of all, it comes together quickly with simple pantry staples like canned soups, Jiffy mix, and rotisserie chicken!"  Comment from The Seasoned Mom

Looks delicious and love that it is semi-homemade with Jiffy Mix!

Southern Banana Pudding - Several Versions

Photo source:  Food Network

Lost in my recipe notebook that got thrown away by mistake years ago was the most delicious banana pudding I have ever had.  It was a cooked pudding and I think it had sweetened condensed milk in it.  The original recipe came from a magazine advertisement.  I know it is somewhere in my recipe files as a duplicate, but to this day I have not found it.  So . . . I have been searching for a cooked banana pudding that sounds familiar.  The only puddings that have sweetened condensed milk also include instant pudding, which I know is not it.

I have not been happy with any of the recipes found so far. Hopefully one of these is a keeper.

Air Fryer Chicken Wings

"What I absolutely love about air fryer fried chicken wings is that there’s no messy breading stations, no vats of oil, and no babysitting the stove like there is with deep frying.

Just a quick toss with pantry spices, a little baking powder for extra crispiness, and the air fryer does the heavy lifting! The result is crispy skin, juicy meat, and a flavor that stands up all on its own, even before you add sauce!"  Comment from Life Love and Good Food

Delicious and easy air fryer chicken wings are perfect for a party.  Air fryer recipes are so much faster and my new alternative to the stove.
