How to Eat & Enjoy Leftovers

remember, anything can be a crouton

We hosted a Thanksgiving potluck at the office yesterday and everyone brought their favorite dishes. I made a big salad (recipe here, I topped it with fried onions for the occasion) and there was everything from stuffins and sweet potato casserole to mac and cheese and Scandinavian swimmers.

the most delicious kind of chaos

There were also a LOT of leftovers. With Thanksgiving next week and a season of warm dishes ahead, now’s the best time to find your favorite way to eat leftovers as a treat to yourself the next day. You can do so much better than microwaving.

Here’s what’s on the menu to inspire your feast’s leftovers:

• Leftovers Soup - The best way to use up leftover turkey and grains

• Leftovers Bowl - My #1 favorite meal

• Mac & Cheese Croutons - The most delicious way to get rid of that container in your fridge

• Sweet Potato Snack - In case you bought too many

• Stuffins - Unique to Thanksgiving leftovers (unless you eat stuffing year-round?)
