Things to make with Thanksgiving leftovers

When you’re done with thanksgiving dinner and you stock your fridge and there’s no more room, you need to get rid of some food right? Wrong! All you need to do is make some new dishes using leftovers. Then you get new food and more room in the fridge. 

 

 The leftovers

Turkey is the main dish and assuming that it was Delicious then you can make a Turkey sandwich. All you need is a dinner roll, some mustard, mayonnaise, and some turkey and if you want to add more flavor then add some salt and pepper. You can also use leftovers for lunch the next day. Another thing you can make is a Thanksgiving ring. (recipe at the bottom). You can also make Turkey noodle soup Instead of chicken noodle soup. You could make some turkey cheese dip (recipe at the bottom). Another thing you can make is roasted Turkey lasagna (recipe at the bottom).

 

 The dessert

 One thing you can do with a leftover dessert is make an apple pie milkshake. Just take a slice of apple pie and blend it up with some vanilla ice cream. Another option is to make is leftover hand pies that are not like tiny pies. You could take some of your leftovers to some family members or friends as well. Something I suggest doing with the desert is just eating the desert and enjoying it for a second time. You could make cranberry carrot muffins with your cranberry sauce as well. (recipe at the bottom).

Top 3 most popular side dishes for Thanksgiving

Do you usually go back for seconds during Thanksgiving dinner? And are they just mostly for the savory side dishes of Thanksgiving? All of these dishes are mouthwatering, and when you hear Thanksgiving you think of a giant buffet in your kitchen! The top 3 most popular side dishes are ranked as 1. Mashed potatoes, 2. Stuffing, and 3. Macaroni and cheese. We all have different opinions about these different platters but most of us can agree that these are great dishes. 

 

Mashed potatoes

Ranked at the top of the list is the most recognizable side dish, Mashed potatoes. We’ll go back for seconds, thirds, fourths, it will be endless! Gravy with your Mashed potatoes? Well, no problem! I can help, if you don’t enjoy gravy with your potatoes then don’t bother to put any on, but if you like gravy then put as much as you want on it, drown them if you’d like. There are quite a few different types of Mashed potatoes like Cream cheese mashed potatoes, Garlic mashed potatoes, Buttermilk potatoes, and many more options. Be surprised whether or not you can put other things on your potatoes other than gravy such as Crumbled bacon, Sour cream, Chives, Shredded cheddar cheese, and many more! According to, Insider, they state, “Mashed potatoes are a staple side for many families throughout the year, but Thanksgiving is the time for these creamy, fluffy, pillowy piles of heaven to shine. The mashed potato is a beautiful binder for picking up the perfect forkful of turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and (yes) corn. It’s the perfect vessel for holding a big ol’ vat of gravy. It’s everything you ever needed and wanted. It’s the best side on Thanksgiving.” You can’t go wrong with a side of Mashed potatoes! 

 

Stuffing

Coming right around the corner is Stuffing. Honestly, we could eat stuffing all year long! Stuffing has many ingredients to make it as good as it is, such as different types of Stuffing like Bread stuffing, Cauliflower stuffing, Keto stuffing, and many more! You can even make your stuffing from home with your own choice of ingredients to make it your style of this savory appetizing meal. You can sprinkle anything you’d like on the top like Herbs, Bacon, Nuts, and even more. According to Insider, “Stuffing is a Thanksgiving essential — no ifs, and, or buts about it. It’s savory, perfectly crisp, and yet delightfully fluffy and moist. Sage, thyme, and other quintessential fall flavors are out in full force. Why isn’t stuffing eaten at every meal? We’ll never know.” Like they said this can be any meal you can have any time!

 

Macaroni and cheese

Right in the third, we have Macaroni and cheese or Mac-an-cheese. This dish is not a Thanksgiving side but it’s a must-have on the table! Mac-an-cheese is made into our personal preferences with cheese on top of cheese mixed in. But it’s the way you make it yourself. Some ingredients and ways that make up this ooey-gooey string of cheese and noodles that just melt in your mouth are, Ultra-Gooey Stovetop Mac and Cheese, Vegan Macaroni and Cheese, and Bacon-Jalapeño Stovetop Mac and Cheese. And many more. There are also different types of stuff that you can put on your Mac-an-cheese like Bacon, Onions, Green Beans, Shredded Chicken, and many more. According to Insider, “Macaroni and cheese may not be what you would consider being a classic Thanksgiving side dish, but for kids and people who don’t like fall foods, it’s an absolute must-have. Few things are more comforting than a gooey, creamy, and perfectly cheesy homemade mac and cheese. It’s a truly underrated Thanksgiving side.” I agree! This isn’t a Thanksgiving dish but it’s great for needy kids that don’t want the other dishes.

ESSENTIAL things you should have on your Thanksgiving table

ESSENTIAL things you should have on your Thanksgiving table

This Thanksgiving, make dinner right. This Thanksgiving you should have certain things on your table that most people love. So put these on your table. (This is my opinion about some of these foods so if you like or don’t like them then don’t be offended.) and if every time you set your table and there’s not enough room on your table for people and food.No problem I might be able to help.

 

Things to have

Many things are just essential to a succesful Thanksgiving, and one of them is a turkey, of course. Along with turkey have mashed potatoes and gravy. mashed potatoes and turkey just belong together if you have one you should have the other. Another thing to have on the table is green bean casserole because why not. More foods you should have on the table are stuffing, cornbread, a salad, and a raspberry dessert with cool whip, and frozen raspberries. A very simple side or dessert. One more thing to have on your table is roles with butter and jam. You don’t even need to put jam on the roll, you can make a turkey sandwich. Or eat it however you want.

 

Things you can keep off the table 

Some things you can leave off your table at thanksgiving can be beets. Almost everyone I know doesn’t like beets. So why waste money on them when nobody eats them. Another thing you can leave off the table is peas. Not many people like peas. One way to find out what to keep off the table is to see how many people like not-so-popular foods. Another thing to keep off the table is canned cranberry sauce. Honestly, I did not know what cranberry sauce was until I watched a show on T.V. That’s how unpopular it is. You also don’t need sweet potato casserole. Who puts marshmallows on a potato?

 

Desserts to have on the table

A very basic dessert that is essential to have is a pie. There are many types of pie to buy; Pumpkin pie, Banana cream pie, chocolate pie, and pecan pie. Another dessert to have on the table is what I call raspberry fluff (recipe at the bottom). Another dessert to have is homemade pudding with homemade whipped cream. Put the putting in a small cup with a blob of homemade whipped cream and it’s ready to serve.

You could even make small pies. The store has a tiny pie crust and you can take your leftover pie fillings and make them small. Another easy dessert to make is “easy homemade apple hand pies” 

(recipe posted at the bottom).

 

Ways to set your Thanksgiving table.

If you always have trouble trying to get all of your Thanksgiving food on your table and still have room to eat. then I might be able to help. If you have a long table then place the turkey in the middle then put some sides around the turkey. Then on the kitchen counter put the desserts. then you should have room for your plates as well. If you have a round table then place the turkey in the middle. Then on your counter put the sides and some deserts.

 

Dessert recipes

  • homemade apple hand pies

https://www.aheadofthyme.com/easy-homemade-apple-hand-pies/#tasty-recipes-8446-jump-target

  •  raspberry fluff

Raspberry fluff is a delicious dessert. you take a big bag of frozen raspberries and dump half of it into a bowl. Then use half of a half and smash them then put them all together and mix them then add a tub of cool whip and mix. It should look like a pink cool whip with some chunks of raspberries.

-The reason this recipe is not a link is that this is a dessert my family makes and I could not find a recipe.

How to decorate for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a holiday that people like to celebrate things they are thankful for. People like to decorate. Today I am going to tell you the places that are the best to decorate and how to do that, so you are ready for when close family and friends come over to gather around the dinner table.

One of the best places to decorate is when people first walk in the first thing they are going to see. This might be above the fireplace in the mudroom or even your kitchen. When you figure out where you want to start decorating, you want to measure out how big the space you are decorating is. This will let you know how big of decorations you need to buy and how much you need to decorate. Once you think you have the right place to start, you want to pick a color scheme for the deco you are going to put up. Most people go with the colors that go with the holiday that they are decorating for. For thanksgiving, the colors you will need to do are orange and black.

Now let’s start working on what to buy for the space. Now that you have the measurements for the space, you know where you want to do your doctorate, and you have the color scheme to go with the holiday that you are going to be decorating for. Now you don’t want to fill the interspace with stuff. If you do it will look unorganized and messy. You want to make sure that you have some space without anything in it. One of the best places to get decor for Thanksgiving decorating is Hobby Lobby. You can find some good stuff at Target as well

Finally, let’s put it all together, you can put all the stuff that you got and put it up where you want to decorate. Mess around with it to get it to your liking. Make sure that you don’t put colors that look about the same together. Putting things with colors that have a different look and different textures will help as well. To make the space look nice and welcoming into your house. The different textures with the different colors can make it look nice. I hope that this will help you make your house more welcoming for your family and friends when they come over and eat a family dinner, this thanksgiving.

To keep the tasty, smooth, pumpkin pie fresh, store it in the refrigerator. Serve as desired. Enjoy!  

HAZELNUT PECAN PIE

The second pie is Hazelnut pecan pie. The combination of Hazelnut and pecan makes a delicious tasty balanced flavor. For some people, pecan pie is too sweet. But, I think if you balance the hazelnut and pecan it will come out delicious! THE RECIPE:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar

Then you’re going to want to mix in your pecans, tasty hazelnuts, and finally your yummy chocolate chips. Once mixed completely put the fillings in the refrigerated pie crust. Bake for 50-55 minutes. When your sweet delicious pie is completed feel free to serve with whipped cream. Make sure to refrigerate leftovers. Enjoy your mouth-watering pie.

 APPLE BUTTER PIE

The last pie is Salted Caramel Apple pie. If you love apple pie you’re going to love this yummy pie. It’s a good change from the original apple pie. It has such a salty yet sweet taste. Take my word for it… It’s delicious. THE RECIPE: 

  • 1/2 cup apple butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 cups whole milk*
  • Pastry for 1 to 9 pie crust

 

The recipe is from https://www.tastesoflizzyt.com/apple-butter-pie-recipe/

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

To start you’re going to want to beat eggs in a bowl and preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Then you will mix the sugar, cornstarch, yummy cinnamon, and tasty apple butter. Once fully incorporated, whisk the milk and set it aside. Press the pastry into the pie pan and pour the mixture we set aside into the pie crust. Finally bake for 60-65 minutes. Once baked completely let it chill for a while and refrigerate leftovers.

 

Good luck with your baking adventure!
