Hope you all had a family filled Thanksgiving weekend! Are you enjoying turkey leftovers? We’re still working on ours, and I’m loving that after cooking so much last week, my work load is a little easier because of leftovers!

I agree – after all that cooking/baking it is nice to take a day or two off. Before I put the leftovers away, I always use the turkey, potatoes and gravy and make a shepherds pie – so yummy and all you have to do the next day is put it in the oven.
We are having a few of those same things this week. I had leftover rolls that will be made into hamburger buns, chili, and stir fry. I used my leftover turkey for pot pie though.
