Recipes for the weekend
Thanksgiving leftovers 🌞
Happy Friday. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with lots of love, laughter, and food. I really wasn’t planning on making a Thanksgiving dinner, but I ended up making a turkey breast, walnut-pear stuffing, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and turkey neck gravy. For dessert, I made my cranberry-orange upside-down cake and homemade pumpkin pie.
Everything was delicious, but now we’re on to the monumental task of eating leftovers! So for today, I wanted to share a few of my favorite leftover recipes to help inspire your cooking for the next few days.
