Leftover recipes

I came to my roommate’s house for Thanksgiving because my family doesn’t live in the country. Half of the turkey was left over and we sat down to try and figure out what to do with it.
I found this blog post about leftover recipes.

Thank yourself for not overeating

Holiday season, in my head, equals food. Think about it… it is not long after swallowing hundreds of candy bars in October when you are already feasting during Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. It is the time of year when most of us gain weight and feel excused to do so.
