What do you do with your Thanksgiving Leftovers?

I enjoyed reheating and eating as is and making sandwiches. The final thing I’ll do is make cranberry orange muffins since all I have left is homemade cranberry sauce!

... Read moreThanksgiving leftovers can be a delightful opportunity to get creative in the kitchen. Beyond just reheating, consider crafting gourmet sandwiches using turkey, cranberry sauce, and your favorite herbs to enhance the flavors. You can also create a comforting Thanksgiving soup by combining leftover vegetables and turkey stock for a hearty meal. For those with an abundance of cranberry sauce, why not bake cranberry orange muffins? This recipe is a fantastic way to repurpose the sauce into a sweet treat perfect for breakfast or snacks. Simply mix in the sauce with flour, sugar, baking powder, and a hint of orange zest to create a moist and flavorful muffin. Additionally, adding leftover veggies to a frittata can make for a nutritious and easy brunch. Don’t forget about using mashed potatoes in unique dishes like potato pancakes or as a topping on shepherd's pie, turning leftovers into comforting home-cooked meals. Embrace the post-Thanksgiving creativity and make the most out of what you have!

Do you like leftovers?
I used to never like to eat leftovers but ever since I got married I tend to eat them more just because my husband does. And even now it will be if I really liked the food or if I have nothing else for lunch #lemon8contest #letschat

A close-up shows lunchbox remnants on a dark counter, including a partially eaten sandwich, a Sprite bottle, crumpled yellow bags, and condiment packets. An overlay asks, 'Do kids bring home lunchbox trash everyday?', reflecting the article's theme of children bringing home waste from school.
My brothers bring home more trash than leftovers
Every afternoon when my little brothers dump their lunchboxes on the counter, I swear half the contents are crumpled wrappers, empty snack bags, and used napkins. None of which made it to the trash can at school. I’ve asked them a million times why they don’t toss this stuff before coming home, and

Sundays are for “leftovers”
One of our favorite things to do is pop things from the week onto a pizza and call it leftover pizza. It’s a great way to use up ingredients left in the fridge for the week. We like to make our own sauce and dough but grabbing one from the store would work great too! #pizzadoughrecipes
