76 Delicious Ways to Devour your Leftover Turkey

November 27, 2016 in Kitchen

I love a turkey dinner, and I love turkey leftovers even more. I got to host Thanksgiving this year, and Chuck and I searched through 2 freezer cases for the biggest turkey we could find. So we are overflowing with fabulous leftovers.

But let’s get real here. You can only have turkey with a side of mashed potatoes and stuffing so many times before you’re sick of it. So I went searching for the best ways to use up my turkey leftovers, and now I’m worried I’ll run out of leftovers before I get to try it all!

Since this treasure hunt of mine took some time, I wanted to save you from having to do the search on your own. So here are 76 leftover turkey recipes that look good enough to eat.

It would take forever to find this many great turkey recipes. Now I know exactly what to make with my leftover turkey!

How do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

Cuddle Up

January 5, 2014 in Great Room

cuddleI am so excited for tomorrow.

Ridiculously excited for a Monday.

Why?

It’s “Cuddle Up Day!”

Sounds to me like it needs to be celebrated in sweats on the couch with whipped cream-topped hot chocolate and some sweet daughters… until my favorite hunky husband comes home from work and we send the cute daughters to bed and do a little more cuddlin’. This may be my new favorite holiday.

We Love to Celebrate!

chuckFirst of all, how did I NOT watch Chuck when it was on TV? Definitely my new favorite Netflix find. Plus as an added bonus, I get to catch a few glimpses of Matt Bomer while I wait for the next episode of White Collar. Win!

Now on to what’s really on my mind today… I remember an article floating around awhile ago about how moms that do too much need to dial it back a bit so the rest of the moms don’t have to feel bad. I went searching for the article and it’s actually a lot older than I thought – almost a year ago. Did you see this?

Can we bring the holidays down a notch?

I have to admit I’m really not a fan of this article. Yes, some people may go a little overkill, but why not? Life can be so hard. Why not take advantage of any excuse to celebrate?

If you’re doing it to keep up with everyone else, just stop. If you really love breaking up the drudgery of life with fun days, there’s no reason to take it down a notch. Just do what you love!

butterbeerWe like celebrating random days like having butterbeer on Harry Potter’s birthday and eating with our hands on disposable tablecloths on “no dirty dishes day.” Did you know National Kazoo Day is a real thing???

I love making fun memories with my kids while they’re little enough to think it’s fun to do silly stuff like that. In fact, I think I do more for the random wacky holidays than the big ones. Leprechaun traps and bunny tracks? Not for me. Waffles for dinner on Waffle Day? Absolutely.

Of course, there is already plenty for a busy family to do that takes up our time. So even though we like to add fun celebrations, we like to keep them simple enough that they don’t add a bunch of stress.

sleepOur New Year’s Eve celebration was really simple and really fun with plenty of yummy food, fun games, and LOTS of laughing. The girls tried to stay awake long enough to ring in the new year, but they didn’t quite make it.

Tomorrow is Festival of Sleep day. Maybe to make up for all the sleep we lost on New Year’s Eve? The kids have to go back to school, so we can’t sleep in, but I’m seriously considering an early bedtime as our choice of celebration. Does that sound fun to anyone else?

trivia-day

 

Friday, January 4 is Trivia Day and my kids are HUGE fans. Their favorite dinner conversation is “Family Quiz.” We ask each other questions about family members and learn lots of fun things about each other that way. Like “Who does Beth have a crush on?” and “What did Mom and Dad do on their first date?” Everyone guesses what they think the answer is, and then whoever the question is about has to give us the real answer. I’m not sure if Beth will give us the answer to that one, though. She’s pretty protective of the identity of her latest crush.

How will you celebrate?
