How do you like to enjoy your Thanksgiving recipe leftovers? On the Friday after Thanksgiving, I like to warm up a plate of the full turkey dinner and eat it as-is.

But after that, I’m ready to repurpose the leftovers into something else, like mashed potatoes becoming mashed potato cakes topped with my easy gravy recipe, and some of the turkey becoming turkey and ham sliders.

The Michigan-Ohio State football game always seems to fall on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. So, serving a big pot of chili on that day works out really well for my family. I’ve already served my apple cider chili earlier this fall.

So, what could be more perfect for a football game on the Saturday after Thanksgiving than Leftover Turkey Chili?

Two to three nights a week, our dinners are comprised of the recipes you see here on this blog. But what about the other three to four nights a week where we eat at home (we go out to eat on Fridays)?

Well, it goes one of two ways: 1.) Lazy Bones Roasted Dinner, or 2.) Use-All-The-Things Mega Dinner Salads.

Packing our lunches for the work week is a continual series of ups and downs. Since I work from home, with full access to a fridge and kitchen appliances, my lunches can be a little more flexible.

If all else fails, I can poach an egg, put it on a piece of toast and call it good. But I like to make sure that Jeff has a good lunch to take to work, too.

Some weeks, we have all kinds of blog food leftovers. “There’s buttermilk grilled chicken! !And crock pot ribs! And acini de pepe pasta salad! Or, I could make you a smoothie! Or a sandwich! Or a chicken and roasted veggie sandwich! Which one do you want?”

Other days, the “What can I take for lunch?” question is met with “Well…there’s this apple. I’m not sure how old it is. But you could dip it in peanut butter. And…there’s this half of a piece of grilled sockeye salmon. There’s one goat cheese fritter. And….mixed nuts? Is that an OK lunch?”
