Weekly Menu for 11/25

There are a million recipes out there to use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey. My problem with most of them is they use much of the same flavors. I love sage and rosemary as much as the next girl, but after overloading on traditional herbs during Thanksgiving, I like to switch it up. The Asian flavors in the bok choy noodles were just was I looking for. I realize it's way past Thanksgiving at this point, but next time you have leftover chicken or turkey, try a noodle bowl. Happy cooking!

Weekly Menu for 11/18

I have seriously fallen off the blogging bandwagon. My apologies! I will catch up on past menus over the next few weeks and be back on schedule after the new year. Thanks for your patience!

Thanksgiving Leftovers

Needless to say, Thanksgiving was the highlight of this week. I truly enjoyed all of the food we made. As a bonus, we had leftovers of just about everything. What's your favorite Thanksgiving food?

Broccoli raab is one of my favorite veggies. Adding sausage cuts out any bitterness and you're left with the nutty-tasting green. Mix it with pasta and you have an easy weeknight meal. Happy cooking!

Monday: Pasta with sausage and broccoli raab
Tuesday: Leftovers
Wednesday: Cauliflower with almonds, raisins, and capers
Thursday: Turkey, stuffed mushrooms, brie, sausage and cranberry stuffing, sweet potato puree, Gouda mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, Brussels sprouts, pumpkin pie, apple crumble, pear cranberry crumble
