This time of year we all are waiting for the big Christmas meal and them we end up eating Turkey or ham for a week right?... (this is where you nod and smile)
What do you do with your Christmas meal left overs?
We have pretty big appetites in my family so a standard portion is a snack for my teen-aged boys and my DH so recipes are usually doubled
This past weekend we are at my moms for Christmas dinner which was:
a small turkey
a small roast of beef cause DH and my dad wont eat turkey and my mom and i love it
and a boiled "jiggs dinner" corned beef and cabbage, potatoes, carrots, peas pudding, blueberry duff with lemon sauce (it s newfie thing)
as appitizers there was
a shrimp ring, (no leftovers)
cheese and pickle plate
veggies and dip
and then dessert.
so because my mom and dad are empty nesters I had to take home the left overs
so with my leftovers I made:
A beef stew with the left over roast beef, just added a few more veggies, used the gravy from dinner as a starter for the juice for the stew.
I then made a home made mac 'n cheese with the cheese left over from the cheese and pickle plate and I had some frozen ham from thanksgiving so I threw that in there too so it turned out to be a baked mac ' n cheese with ham
with the turkey i removed all the meat off the bones and tossed that into a huge bowl, added the last of the bag of frozen diced hash browns from the freezer, the leftover carrots and potatoes added a can of cream of chicken soup to hold it all together, with the left over onion dip mixed it altogether and made a casserole with it..
so now I have made the meals for the week and it was all left overs....
what do you do with your left overs?
