Love my Leftovers!

 
I personally love leftovers! The flavors just get better and better and who could complain about the ease of dinner preparation for the next few nights. This is especially true for the Thanksgiving weekend in our house. It is finally “legal” to begin decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving and that is a lot of work! When we are finished decorating at the end of each day, I am so grateful for my Thanksgiving feast revisited. 

Turkey Dinner
When I have made a big bird with lots of turkey leftovers I transform it into a totally new creation. Recently, a long time friend from college, Mary Ann, prepared a chicken enchilada recipe that was to die for! She made the dish in a foil pan and froze it. It was so easy to defrost and reheat while we enjoyed a glass of wine and caught up with stories from past to present. Thank you Mary Ann for a wonderful evening! I have substituted turkey to help with my leftovers.
