Thanksgiving was a couple weeks ago, and my boys are SO tired of turkey now! However, I still had SO much food leftover! Soo, I came up with this, and froze it :) Perfect for when you start to crave a yummy turkey dinner between October & December!! You can make them in 9x9 pans, or even loaf pans! I used loaf pans, because it was all I had at the time!
Simply layer your leftovers! How easy is that?! Here is how I layered my casseroles.
Turkey
Veggies (we had carrots this year)
Stuffing
Gravy
Mashed Potatoes
That`s it! Easy peasy! You could also sub out chicken for the turkey, if you have leftover chicken. When you are ready to eat, simply throw in the oven at 300*F for a couple hours. Enjoy!

Caramel Corn
My neighbor introduced me to this deliciously addiction snack! It's so simple to make & my boys absolutley LOVE it! A large bag does not last long here!!
1 large bag Popcorn Twists
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 tsp baking soda
Dump the twists into a roaster. Put butter, sugar & corn syup into a large pot. Whisk together & being to a boil. Add baking soda. The caramel will foam up (which is why you need the large pot). After the caramel starts to deflate, pour over twists in roaster. Stir to coat all pieces. Bake at 250*F for 45 minutes, stirring ever 10 minutes. Pour onto wax paper, and let cool. After it has cooled down, break up the larger pieces & store in a covered container.

Guacamole
I fell in love with guacamole 2 years ago. We had a few friends over to watch a football game & everyone brought appetizers. My neighbor brough nachos & guac. Oh man. YUM. I have loved it ever since & eat it whenever I can. But ONLY homemade! I have tried the already made versions from the grocery store, but they just do not taste as yummy!
The other night, I made tacos for supper, & found 1 poor, lonely avocado in the fridge. A-ha! Guacamole it is! My current obsession right is Greek yogurt. For smoothies. With granola. Instead of sour cream. Greek yogurt = yum! And healthy! So, I figured, instead of Miracle Whip for my guac, let`s try Greek yogurt! Add some chopped garlic. Lemon juice. PERFECT! I had a super delish taco with cheese, lettuce, peppers, onions & tomato. Oh! And some salsa & banana peppers. Heat is nice :) SO GOOD!
The next day, I had a little bit of guacamole left. So, I toasted some whole wheat bread, spread on the guac, a little bit of mustard, 1 slice of super thin turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato & banana peppers. I had to have 2, it was so tasty! And then I was out of avocados :(
So today! Oh it was cold today. -48*C with the windchill :( However, I wasn`t going to get a little bit of winter weather get in my way! So, after I picked the boys up from school, & I went & got some more avocados. Mmmmm. And now, I am enjoying a tasty, guac-y treat! This time, I chopped the avocado & added diced red & yellow peppers, so it`s like a chunky, but creamy, salsa. YUM! Sadly, I forgot the best dippers (Hint of Lime Tostitos), so I am using Veggie Thins. Meh. It`s simply a vehicle for the delicious, green guacamole!
Be sure to try making your guacamole with Greek yogurt next time :) Enjoy!

Easy Peasy Turkey Stock!
I hate turkey carcasses. It makes me squirm. But I always feel sad when I throw the carcass out, thinking of all the homemade turkey stock I could have. I just could not hack the thought of well, hacking up the carcass! Until Pinterest! Oh Pinterest how I love thee (you may notice a theme on my blogs, LOL). Pinterest gave me this fabulous idea for my favorite kitchen tool, the slow cooker! AND, even better? Minimal work. OVERNIGHT. Who knew you could make super delicious turkey stock while you slept away your turkey meal! Here`s how I did it!
Overnight Turkey Stock
1 turkey carcass (will work with chicken as well!)
1 carrot
1 stalk of celery
1 onion, cut in half
2 bay leaves
1 TBSP poultry seasoning
12 cups water
Throw everything into your slow cooker. Put on low for 8-10 hours. Go to bed. DONE! How awesome is that?!?!
Well, okay, I lied. You have a little bit of work to do. Strain the turkey stock from the carcass/veggies. Your stock is done! Put into containers & label, then freeze. Orrrr....whip up a batch of turkey noodle soup (and THEN freeze the leftover stock). If you make turkey soup right away, pick apart your carcass for meaty morsels. Mmmm, nothing like turkey soup with turkey buns, the day after a giant turkey dinner!!

Cheery, Chocolate Cherry Cookies
Mmmm. These are super yummy, moist cookies. They are PERFECT for Valentine's Day too! I just used a cherry chip cake mix I had in the cupboard, tossed in oil, eggs & vanilla, then chocolate chips, of couse. Sadly, I burnt the first 2 dozen :( But the good news is, I still have 2 dozen to enjoy!!
1 box Cherry Chip cake mix (I used Betty Crocker)
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 TBSP vanilla
6 oz chocolate chips
Mix half of the cake mix with the oil, eggs and vanilla. Add remaing cake mix & stir in chips. Put a tablespoon of dough on cookie sheets, & and bake at 350F for about 8 minutes.
