Here we are again… Turkey leftovers! Every year I make the same mistake. I make more bird than the people I invite. Even after I’ve sent everyone home with an ample amount of leftovers, I still have leftovers! Well I know I’m not the only one because if you follow us you saw Linda’s awesome sandwich yesterday… here is how I used some of my turkey and the leftover dinner rolls too… Continue reading
I’m sure everyone has had their fill of anything that has to do with Thanksgiving! But we still had some leftovers and with those delicious tidbits I made the all-American leftover Thanksgiving sandwich and called it The TurkeyGiver! Continue reading
With so many people coming for Thanksgiving dinner and arriving the night before, I wanted to make a dish a day in advance that could be popped in the oven for guests when they arrive from their long journeys. Manicotti is not as hard as some think when you do a few simple tips… Continue reading
This is a week that for a lot of people is a well thought out planned week. Only four days until Thanksgiving… if you count today! Well, I am counting today. I have 30 people coming for dinner so as you can imagine I have to be super organized in order to enjoy my guests and at the same time bring them the best dishes I can. There is a lot to be made, so I always allocate some dishes to the adult kids, nieces and nephews that are excited to be new at participating. When asked, what can I make or do?… I say, ‘can you make coleslaw and do you need a recipe?’ Or ‘how about an apple pie’… how about dinner rolls, ‘can you help set the table’. Any assistance is great on a day like Thanksgiving… Continue reading
Several years ago this was an economic go to for me and always a hit with my kids. Nowadays when I make this for my Hubby’s lunch the reaction is always favorable. It’s still a hit! This is a healthy, light, yet filling meal. The beauty of this dish is it does not require too much meat, the cooking time is quick and the meat is lean yet flavorful… Continue reading
I’ve always longed to visit Morocco…the spices alone would draw me to this fascinating country. One day I hope to visit but until I do I will have to settle for making their delicious cuisine at home. In this Moroccan Chicken recipe I combined all the wonderful herbs and spices known for that region with chicken thighs, sweet potatoes and dried mango. They love mixing sweet with savory and by combining these flavors you get something really unique and oh so good! I hope you’ll try this one at home in lieu of going abroad…

Mac & Cheese has got to be one of my favorite comfort foods. Well the other night I had several people over for dinner. I have learned to make things that give me the ability to enjoy my guests without spending the whole night in the kitchen. Served in individual ramekins, this recipe makes 12 servings. I only had 6 guests so the extras went into the refrigerator to be heated later in the week for lunch or another meal. I served this with a big spinach salad and presto… I had endless accolades which is always a great thing! Continue reading
For this Risotto recipe I decided to use the flavors of the season. Pumpkin. Pecans. Nutmeg, cinnamon & cloves. A creamy ode to Thanksgiving! And just like at Thanksgiving, any leftovers warm up delicious. Comfort food at its peak!
Note: Allspice is an easy way to add the flavors of nutmeg, cinnamon and clove – even though it’s actually the dried unripe fruit of the Pimenta Dioica plant. A little bit goes a long way…
