Does anyone remember the Friends episode with the “moist maker”? (Ross’ turkey sandwich with a gravy-soaked slice of bread in the center.)…

Keep leftovers exciting with this Low-Carb Leftover Pot Roast Hash with Chimichurri-Inspired Sauce! Topped with a fried egg, it’s perfect for any meal of the day.

Easy Turkey or Chicken Masala Wraps

January 15, 2016 by Faith 14 Comments

Easy Turkey or Chicken Masala Wraps are a delicious recipe to transform leftovers into a completely new meal! I don’t consider myself a food snob at all. My go-to meal when nothing sounds good is a humble egg (preferably fried, runny yolk) with roasted vegetables, or a big pile of salad greens topped with whatever leftovers I can find in the fridge....

November 18, 2015 by Faith 10 Comments

These Easy Leftover Turkey, Mushroom, and Brie Puff Pastries are a great way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers, but you can also use rotisserie chicken. In a little over a week I’ll be making these beauties again. Because the day after Thanksgiving, you know dinner will be leftovers…but that doesn’t mean you have to just have leftover Thanksgiving dinner....

20-Minute Chicken Fajita Quinoa Dinner Skillet

July 6, 2015 by Faith 14 Comments

This quick-cooking 20-Minute Chicken Fajita Quinoa Dinner Skillet is cooked on the stovetop, and is a great recipe to have up your sleeve for those busy summer nights when you don’t want to heat up the oven or fire up the grill! It’s a great way to use leftover chicken too. So, Mike still won’t eat quinoa. I wish we could be one of those happy dinner households where they make one meal and all sit down to enjoy the same thing together like The Brady Bunch or something. That has just never been the case with us....

A Juicer’s Glorious Morning Muffin

April 20, 2015 by Faith 15 Comments

Since I started juicing about a year ago, I’ve frequently wondered what other uses I can come up with for the pulp. Even composting it seems like such a waste since it’s still full of nutrition…just in an altered form. What am I working with? Kale, apple, pineapple, and carrot go into my usual juice, but sometimes beets, parsley, celery, spinach, lemon, grapefruit, and/or ginger get added in....

Meals in Minutes — Smoky Turkey Quesadilla with Raw Salsa (And a $65 CSN Giveaway!)

September 12, 2010 by Faith 107 Comments

The season for slow cookers and dutch ovens is almost upon us. In an effort to relish the last bit of warm weather, Mike and I recently had a barbeque and grilled a whole turkey. (Which was an endeavor in and of itself, but was so worth it in the end when we were rewarded with tender, juicy meat with a subtly smoky flavor.) Anyway, after everyone had eaten their fill we were left with as much leftover turkey as we normally have after Thanksgiving dinner, so I knew I had to get creative with different ways to use it. In this quesadilla, I used […]...

Turkey Croquettes

November 25, 2009 by Faith 24 Comments

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover turkey, and although croquettes might sound complicated, these are really just shallow-fried patties made from cooked, shredded turkey and a few vegetables and seasonings. What a way to dress up leftovers!...
