Hi Cooking Moms, Dads & Friends,

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My kids got home safely. It was such a special day! I’m feeling so blessed!

There’s only one problem. We've got a seriously crowded fridge. I say leftovers are a good problem! I'm all over it! This morning you can listen to me on the radio in Wisconsin talking leftovers and delicious ways to use them up.

Why not use that leftover turkey to make my Turkey Enchiladas? They're my favorite!

I also love making soup with the leftovers! My Southwest Turkey Soup is healthy and delicious! It's perfect after a long day of shopping!

If you've still got turkey after that I say make a casserole or as my dear friends in Minnesota say - a hot dish! Either way they are my FAVE! My Turkey and Stuffing Casserole and my Taste of Thanksgiving Casserole both freeze great! Then, a few weeks from now when you're craving all your Thanksgiving favorites, no problem. Just take one out of the freezer to thaw and throw it in the oven to bake!

And, don't even think about throwing out those leftover mashed potatoes! Use them to make my Loaded Potato Casserole. It’s goes great with my Nana’s Meatloaf!

The kids love my Mashed Potato Soup. It's so easy to make! I like to load mine up with cheese, bacon and lots of green onions. Now, we're talking!

Got extra cranberry sauce? We also have lots left over! Use it to make my Cranberry Chicken Bake or Pork Tenderloin with Cranberry Sauce and Rosemary.

You can also make some fun holiday appetizers and game day munchies with the leftover cranberry sauce! My Cranberry Crostini and Cranberry Brie Bites are super simple. My Cranberry Meatballs are always a winner! They are perfect for any holiday get together. Just throw them in your slow cooker and watch them disappear. Mix a little extra cranberry sauce with cream cheese and my Cranberry Honey Cream Cheese makes a great spread for bagels!

Thank You!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out for my holiday cooking class at the Fearless and Fabulous Women’s Expo at Mohican Northstar Casino in Bowler, Wisconsin last weekend. It was so fun!
