Another of my leftover turkey recipes from last year. It's a super simple soup recipe that you can make even on the busiest of nights. Dustin actually made this for me and had it ready and waiting for me when I arrived home from a long day at school. I never got around to making chicken noodle soup like I wanted, this similar turkey version was...

This might be my favorite use for leftover Thanksgiving turkey. Whole Foods has this amazing chipotle cranberry cheddar cheese that is subtly sweet and spicy. When paired with turkey it makes a delicious quesadilla. I got super busy and very behind on posting around this time of the year, so I decided to write up all of the recipes we made...

I've really wanted to try my hand at pad thai for awhile now, but I decided to put my own twist on the dish inspired by spaghetti and meatballs. For a basic pad thai that's easy and doesn't require fish sauce (which we couldn't find), just leave off the meatballs. Or just serve the meatballs on toothpicks as an appetizer for a football party....

This may not be the most the most creative use of Thanksgiving leftovers— paninis are no cranchiladas that's for sure. But I'm sensing a new Thanksgiving tradition because this has got be one of the best paninis we've made, which I think makes it deserving of its own writeup. I think the key ingredient is the brie— ooey gooey, melty brie. It...

How hard it it to find spaghetti squash? Apparently really difficult around us. Whole Foods hasn't ever had them when I've looked, and Amazon Fresh can't seem to keep them in stock when they are delivering to me. But I finally got my hands one, and decided to make low-carb spaghetti and turkey meatballs with marinara. We've joined a fancy...

Clearly Dustin and I love the flavors of buffalo wings (see these burgers and this dip), so it was only a matter of time before we incorporated those flavors into something else, say lasagna. I am astounded at no-boil lasagna noodles. They allow your dish to come together so much faster than having to wait for your water to boil, then the...

Dustin's not a huge pot pie fan. I am. So guess what else we did with our leftover turkey? Made a big turkey pot pie! All kidding aside, I know this wasn't Dustin's favorite meal I've made for him, but I think he enjoyed it more than most pot pies. We used his mom's leftover pie dough to make the topping, so it was extra buttery, flaky, and...

Dustin knew we were making enchiladas with our leftover turkey. However, he didn't realize that we'd also be incorporating our leftover cranberry sauce into the enchiladas to make Turkey Cranchiladas (love the name). Never has Dustin been more unsure of a dish I wanted to make, but he stuck it out. Upon smelling the cranberry sauce, sour...

I am absolutely infatuated with the flavor combination of goat cheese, bacon, and caramelized balsamic onions. Somewhere from the depths of imagination, I came up with pizza. I'm not sure where it came from or why, but all of the sudden I just had to have this pizza on my plate. Now! I began working on this pizza early in the day by...

So this might not be the prettiest dish in the world, but it pretty accurately captures the flavors of the tamale, at least well enough until I find some corn husks and bust out the masa harina. Basically you begin by cooking up a delicious filling. Below is ground turkey spiced with Mexican seasoning, corn, red onion, and jalapeño cooked in...
