Turkey Tortilla Soup

This happens to be one of my favorite ways to use the left-over turkey from Thanksgiving.  So easy to put together and the homemade turkey stock makes all the difference.  Indulge!

Pilgrims Pie

The day after Thanksgiving has become just as popular in my home as the actual event.   Instead of trying to find room for all of the leftovers and heating them up individually, how about layering them all together into a wonderful "pot pie" like dish.  Use whatever you have in the fridge (turkey, stuffing potatoes, veggies, gravy and even cranberry sauce) and no additional ingredients are needed (unless you do what I did this year and put a pie crust in between the Thanksgiving layers.  I can now see the back of my fridge again.  Thank you Jessica Collins for such a lovely idea, Indulge!

Turkey and Veggie Meatloaf Cupcakes {aka how I get my kids to eat some veggies cupcakes}

Since Valentines is around the corner my kids have been bugging me about making cupcakes.  I don't know if I am ready for the sugar induced coma again (for goodness sake I am still recovering from the holidays!).  As I was planning out dinner and going through the fridge, I realized I had some veggies I seriously needed to cook.  A light bulb went off!  How about putting dinner in cupcake form (and throwing in some hidden veggies),  I love playing motherly pranks on my kids and thought this would be fun to watch.  When they got home from school they noticed the "cupcakes" in the oven and got so excited, until they looked a little closer as I was plating them.  But soon those frowns turned back to smiles once they dug in.  They had so much fun eating them and didn't even notice the good for you ingredients inside.  The beauty of this recipe is that you can use your favorite meatloaf and mashed potato recipe of your choice if you like and it will turn ordinary into awesomeness!  I will definitely be making these again.  Indulge!

Smoked Turkey Crepes

This is my attempted to recreate a fabulous dish I had in a little cafe in Dallas called Cafe Brazil.  I love everything about this dish.  It's light, fresh and amazingly delicious.
