Cooking Thanksgiving Turkey and Turkey Leftovers
Cooking Thanksgiving Turkey and Turkey Leftovers
The festive season brings with it both joys and stresses. And the place where the tensions are often most evident is in the kitchen! If you want to avoid being harassed over the holidays, a modicum of thinking ahead can avert potentially fraught situations. Planning your healthy Thanksgiving recipes is the first step. You’ve got the recipe for cooking Thanksgiving turkey But what to do with the turkey leftovers? Turkey a la King is a great way of producing an entirely new meal with the previous day’s turkey. Turkey Burgers with Coriander, Soy and Pickled Ginger also ring the changes and give a slightly fusion twist to a traditional recipe.
Ground Beef Casserole Recipes and Simple Chicken Recipes
However, November is not ALL about Thanksgiving! We all have three weeks of meals to produce before then. This needn’t be a chore if you plan wisely. The trick is to try and get another meal out of a main meal. For example: Shepherd’s Pie Recipe on one night will easily make a reappearance as a glamorous Meat Pie Recipe, complete with light puff pastry. Oven Baked Whole Chicken as a main meal could become a delicious Chicken Pasta Bake with Pesto Sauce and Parmesan Crust. Your Best Grilled Salmon Recipe could then double as Fresh Salmon Croquettes. So, you can see, that with a little monthly meal planning, putting nutritious daily meals on the table needn’t be too onerous.
Fresh Pumpkin Recipes
Autumn Meal Planning wouldn’t be complete without an offering of Pumpkin Recipes. Of all pumpkins, Butternut Squash is my favorite for its intense, nutty flavor. Using vegetables that are bountiful at this time of year makes sense if you are trying to cook economically. So, what better than a Butternut Squash Soup Recipe with a Pumpkin Muffin? Butternut Squash Recipe with Coconut Milk and Cashew Nuts makes an ideal Thanksgiving side dish recipe and for a vegetarian optional main course, you could try Vegetarian Moussaka with Butternut Squash and Aubergines. Simply delicious.
Thanksgiving Dessert Recipes
Budget Meal Planning is not all around sensible main meals! What would Thanksgiving be without the best Pecan Pie recipe? Or you could try an easy Fresh Pumpkin Pie Recipe which is light and nutritious.
Thanksgiving Cookie Recipes
Homemade cookie recipes come into their own over Thanksgiving. There is nothing like making a batch of cookies as a gift – they are a symbol of your time and thought. Snickers Cookies are fun to make with the family and Greek Cookies not only look beautiful, they taste fabulous.
November Meal Planning is currently available for your daily cooking ideas. All recipes are free.
Creating New Christmas Traditions
christmas recipes, Christmas Traditions, family tradition, holiday recipe, holiday traditions, homemade candy Making new Christmas traditions is a valuable way to cope with the first Christmas after the death of a loved one, or yif ou’ve just married into a new family. Creating new family traditions is also a good way to stay healthy at Christmas.
New Christmas Traditions: Christmas Volunteering
Volunteering at Christmas is an excellent new family tradition at Christmas. Investigate the “traditional” Christmas volunteering ideas: food banks, Meals on Wheels, Christmas hampers, etc. Consider making Christmas volunteering a less traditional holiday tradition, such as making simple Christmas stockings with your family and delivering them to street kids or a youth shelter. A new Christmas family tradition could include visiting sick kids in the hospital or donating toys, books or needed items to the Ronald McDonald House or a women’s shelter. Always call first. Christmas volunteering makes you feel good about yourself and your family – even if you’re grieving a death at Christmas.
New Christmas Traditions: Christmas Recipes
Creating Christmas traditions should ways involve food! Spend time with your kids, partner, parents or loved ones in the kitchen, baking Christmas cookies or decorating gingerbread houses. Pick a holiday recipe that you only make at Christmas – perhaps homemade candy canes will be your new holiday tradition – and invite friends and family to help make them.
New Christmas Traditions: Christmas Ornaments
New family traditions include making different Christmas ornaments from scratch every year, such as popsicle stick picture frames or popcorn wreaths. Christmas ornaments can become holiday traditions even if you add a new variation each year. For instance, put new family photos in Christmasy picture frames; every year, line them up on the mantle or bookcase. If you don’t have time to make Christmas ornaments but like this idea of creating new Christmas traditions, consider purchasing instead of making a new ornament every year.
New Christmas Traditions: Christmas Stories
Make your family story a new tradition at Christmas. Keep copies of your annual family Christmas card or letter, and read them out loud each Christmas. Or, read squo;Twas the Night Before Christmas or e Best Christmas Pageant Ever out loud to your kids the night or week before Christmas. Holiday traditions are about you as a unique family, warts and all. Sometimes new Christmas traditions start by accident and continue unattended; other times, you have to deliberately implement your new Christmas traditions. Either way, holiday traditions are a reassuring, fun, and healthy way to celebrate Christmas.
