Shredded chicken is a great, neutral-tasting meat to use in soups, casseroles, and even on pizza. Start by roasting a chicken like this engagement chicken or Julia Child's roast chicken recipe. Then plan the week ahead by taking a look at these recipes that can be made from leftover chicken for different fare every night of the week.

Once in a while, even ice cream is too heavy for the hottest of days, and only something icy and fruity will ease the effects of a blistering sun. Whether it's the creaminess of sherbet or sorbet or the crunchy crystals of granita that make you melt, these six frozen desserts are cream-free and fruit-flavored for a light, refreshing way to quickly cool down. Any of these frozen desserts can be made "adult" with a splash of your favorite liqueur, but the watermelon margarita pops provide instant gratification; simply pull out of the freezer and slurp away. Try out one of these frozen treat recipes — it's bound to keep you cool on a lethargic, end-of-Summer day.
