Thanksgiving Leftovers ...

LEFTOVERS . . . 

(if you're lucky enough!)

Paninis - Butter slices of Sourdough Bread ... spread one piece of bread with cranberry sauce and the other thinly with dressing or sweet potatoes (or both) ... stack on the turkey and provolone.  Grill til crusty!!

Turkey Hash over scrambled eggs!  It's just brown gravy with all the small and medium turkey bits in it!!  Always a morning after meal served with hot biscuits!!!  If you have gravy leftover .... add it too!

Ham -  Breakfast omelettes or quiche or Beans or sandwiches for the Iron Bowl!!

Turkey/Waldorf Salad - just combine the two!  Great in a tortilla wrap!

Sweet Potatoes for breakfast!!  Spread onto a bagel or toast!!  Add a schmear of cream cheese for a little extra decadence!!

Deviled eggs .... Toss them into the food processor and make egg salad for sandwiches!


Green Bean Casserole is a great starter for a pot of soup!

Dinner Rolls - use for mini sandwiches (sliders) during the Iron Bowl!!  Or, toss in the freezer and save for a bread pudding!

Mashed Potatoes - topping for a modified Shepard's Pie - turkey and veggies!  Why not use dressing as the bottom layer .. then cranberry sauce ... then turkey ... and mashed potatoes .... heat til browned on top!

Chicken n' Dumplins - Are there really any EVER leftover?  Not here!  But if there were they would be a great start for a nice, thick chicken pot pie filler!

Cakes and pies are great beginnings for cake pops!!  I usually wait a few days and slice and individually wrap and freeze for later!  Just set out to thaw while preparing dinner!

If you have leftover veggie trays, consider soup!  Save those dips for the Iron Bowl on Saturday!

Don't forget to make up a couple of plates of leftovers and deliver to someone ... better yet, invite them to your home for Thanksgiving!!

Here's another link from my blog ... a 'what to do with party leftovers' post!  I'd love to hear your suggestions!!

 neighbor's mom used to make me every year for Thanksgiving 

or Christmas.  Mrs. Norma is making Pumpkin Rolls in Heaven now.  ♥

Needless to say, it won't last til Thanksgiving!

Thankfully, she shared the recipe with my peeps on Facebook.

I'm sharing it with you!  It is outta this world!  I promise!!

Thank you Tricia!!!  We need a day in your kitchen!!!

Kale Powder

KALE

From the garden ....

to the sink and then the dehydrator ...

At this point I usually just loosely pack it in a jar and toss a handful into soup.  It can also be rehydrated and sauteed!  But, instead, this batch went into the Vitamix (or food processor) and then into a jar!

Next stop .... added to a smoothie or soup!

Kale Chips!
