To get rid of a whole bunch of leftover roast chicken, I made a chicken pot pie. I used a bag of frozen veggies, a potato, chicken stock and some flour to thicken. Then poured the soupy veggie stuff into a baking dish with the leftover chicken and layered some pie dough on top. Could not have been easier and kept the hubby well-fed for days. :-)

When we have houseguests (who are not staying longer than a week) we don't allow them to do any cleaning or cooking. It's just the way that I like to host, and it keeps me calm since I'm a bit possessive of my kitchen.

We had a guest staying with us who was going to a wedding the next day and we didn't have an iron or ironing board, so he went out and bought them and left them as a housewarming gift for us. I don't expect our houseguests to buy us gifts, but I like how he saw something missing from our home and filled it.

I agree with LilyC that sometimes the best thing a houseguest can do is just go out on their own so I have some time alone.
