Take leftover turkey, a bunch of veggies, and mix it into my homemade spaghetti sauce and you get a totally new meal – Turkey Bolognese. It is a shame to call this a “leftover” meal, since I would almost make the turkey just to be able to make this! It is a shame I made…

Mashed Potato Latkes – Thanksgiving Leftovers #2
What to do with leftover mashed potatoes? Well that is a no-brainer…potato pancakes/latkes! Making the mashed potato latkes gave me the chance to decide whether I want to do those, or grated potato latkes for our Hanukah party. I like both, so I am still not sure which I will do. We are having an…
Turkey Fried Rice – Thanksgiving Leftovers #1
For some unknown reason, we ended up with a 20 pound bird for 5 people. A little crazy, yes. But it means I will need to get creative in my use of leftover turkey meat; some will get frozen for later use. One of my daughters would love for us to eat Chinese food for…
Skyline Apple Muffins
With the family home for Thanksgiving break, it was time to make some treats to have for other meals. The first were apple muffins to start off Thanksgiving Day. These muffins come from a recipe I got from a bed and breakfast in Edenton, NC more years ago than I like to remember. The B…
A Nomination Thank You
What better to do for Thanksgiving than to say “thank you”! I big thank you to Shannon at MoveEatCreate for nominating the blog for a Sunshine Award! It is so nice to know that what I am posting is useful, I so enjoy doing it. The etiquette for the nomination is to provide a link…
Cauliflower and Sweet Potatoes
In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, I try to make dishes that vary greatly from what I will be serving on Thursday. Sunday was my birthday and we went out for sushi, Tuesday, broccoli kale quiche, Wednesday is Moroccan spaghetti squash. Monday was Indian cauliflower and sweet potatoes, based on a Bal Arneson recipe….
Corn Chowder
Whenever I make Thanksgiving dinner, it always starts with my variation of the corn chowder that my sister-in-law Ginny taught me to make decades ago. It was one of my father’s favorite soups, so it became a fixture in my Thanksgiving meals. Simple and oh, so satisfying. This year I am making it with the…
Blueberry-Lime Butter in the Slow Cooker
This seems to be my year to experiment with my slow cooker for making preserves. Today I decided to use all my remaining frozen blueberries to make blueberry butter. I chose to pair it with my abundance of dried limes. Most blueberry butter recipes call for lemon zest and lemon juice, I decided to use…
Rigatoni with Roasted Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts
I love what roasting does to fall vegetables, it is like casting a magic spell over them, taking to ordinary to extraordinary. Mix them with pasta and some cheese and you have a treat for dinner. And one that is fairly simple and quick to make. I had stopped at the farm store and picked…
Breakfast for Dinner – Brussels Sprout Hash
I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the brussels sprouts in my fridge when I came across a posting on How Sweet It Is for Brussels Sprouts Breakfast Hash. Perfect – breakfast for dinner, one of my favorites! Plus, it calls for a sweet potato, so it would also be…
