What do you do for at least three days after the biggest feasting Holiday of the year? If you’re like me or my family, you’d reach in the fridge to find mounds and mounds of goodies such as leftover roasted turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and more.
Although I didn’t get to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family this year, I had plenty of leftovers from a Thanksgiving buffet over at work (one of the perks of working in the food and beverage industry!). Some food purists or in a bad way “snobs,” would refuse to touch the leftovers as if their palates are in a way superior to leftover foods but for a single gal like me trying to live on a limited budget, leftovers are always welcome :) I probably saved over $30 this week not having to shop as many groceries as I probably would have if it weren’t for those leftovers. So don’t trash leftovers, utilize them to the best of you ability!!
First Thanksgiving leftover remix required the following: ham, cranberry sauce, whole grain bread, and veggies. I bet you had some too! I put the ham in the middle of my two fluffy and grainy multi grain bread and smeared the cran-pom sauce on top. For veggies? Easy. Just pop ‘em in the microwave!
I mean.., need I say more?
Next was nothing extraordinary. Just a reheated plate of turkey thigh meat rolled with fresh herbs and garlic next to mashed potatoes. Just bumped up the veggie volume by adding sauteed pencil asparagus (that was on sale for $1.79/lb << a total steal).
The mountains have been definitely getting a ton of snow lately as I whip up my little bottom on walks to and from the bus stops. I am definitely going to focus on investing in some ski apparel to take advantage of my four-mountains pass. Yesterday was my first day at my part-time and although I loved being in Aspen and interacting in other ways aside from the restaurant, my feet/legs felt the pain when I woke up this AM. Anyways.... HELLO DECEMBER! :D
