8 Best Recipes for Using Up Leftover Turkey

by Carrie Havranek

Turkey Leftover Round-Up

My mother always used to say that she enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner better the next day, once it was just the four of us and the stress of the meal prep was behind us.

I tend to agree. And when we get tired of reheating plates of turkey and gravy, there are plenty of ways to turn the rest of the turkey into something else altogether.

 

Candy Cane Cookies

Candy Cane Cookies

Practically everyone has lived through one of those crazy roommate situations — the kind that provides fodder for endless cocktail stories. These stories that are amusing in retrospect, but never fun when they are actually happening. (One of mine actually involved a missing python snake in our apartment.)

But every now and then, something decent comes from all the insanity. One of my favorite memories from an otherwise mismatched roommate situation is learning how to make candy cane cookies.

Sweet Potato Waffles with Fried Egg, Bacon, and Scallions

by Sally Vargas

Sweet Potato Waffles with Bacon, Scallions and Fried Eggs

Breakfast for dinner. When my son was little, we called it “upside-down day”!

Waffles for supper are an especially comforting way to end the day. They're relatively quick to make from scratch and they change up the meal routine in an unexpected way.

Any break in routine feels slightly festive, no matter how simple.

 

Snowman Chocolate Icebox Cake

Snowman Chocolate Icebox Cake

This chocolate icebox cake was a standby at my grandmother's house. She made hers in a loaf pan, turned it out, and covered it in icing. Then she served it sliced paper-thin, on the diagonal, which showed off all the delicious layers.

It is no surprise that later in life, with a family of my own, I started making this same cake as a holiday treat.

Meal Plan for November Week 5

by Marta Rivera

November Week 5

I don't know about you, but here in Central Texas it's getting cold. With the cold and the hustle-and-bustle of the holidays, I always feel like everyone gets really short tempered. Better to stay indoors!

Since I'm trying to keep the number of times I have to venture outside to a minimum, that means making sure my pantry is stocked and my recipes are versatile enough to handle a change of plans. I’m also doubling up several dishes so we have plenty of leftovers.

Alas, I'm saying "See you later" to my grill until warmer months, but it also means having more time with my toasty oven!

Salted Pecan Cake + First Look at "Cake, I Love You!"

by Sally Vargas

Salted Pecan Cake

When it arrived, the first page that fell open in Jill O'Connor's new book Cake, I Love You! was her recipe for Salted Pecan Cake.

A not-so-subtle voice in my head screamed, “Stop what you are doing right now and go directly into the kitchen.”

Crispy, Golden Turkey Skin: 4 Methods Put to the Test (and One Winner!)

by Summer Miller

I've been wrist deep in the business end of chickens all week. I'm on a quest to determine the best way to achieve perfect deep, golden, crispy skin, both for our everyday roast chickens and also for that bird of all birds — the Thanksgiving turkey.

Why? A well-roasted bird makes an undeniably beautiful presentation on your holiday table. Also, of course, the snap of salty, crisp skin with each tender morsel of meat is a little bite of heaven. In the end, we want a bird with tender, flavorful meat, and deeply golden, crispy skin. The goal is to inject the meat with moisture while eliminating it from the skin.

2017 Favorite Cookbooks

Cookbooks. We anticipate their arrival. We love them and cook from them, splattering their pages. They pile up on our counters, bookshelves, and nightstands. They become our trusted advisors, friends in the kitchen.

Mercifully, even in the age of the Internet and websites like ours, people are still buying – and loving — cookbooks.

Holiday Pinwheel Cookies

by Irvin Lin

Holiday Pinwheel Cookies

When I was working on my cookbook Marbled, Swirled, and Layered, I had to make some tough choices about which recipes to keep and which to let go. The cookie chapter was pretty overloaded as it was, and some recipes ended up falling by the wayside.

Red and white pinwheel cookies were one of them. And that’s too bad because they are a classic holiday cookie that everyone should learn to make.

But today is your lucky day! I’m resurrecting the recipe and sharing it with you.

Why is Vanilla Extract So Expensive Right Now?

How to Make Vanilla Extract

If you bake regularly, you may have encountered bit of sticker shock the last time you bought a bottle of vanilla extract. There are a few reasons why we’re seeing higher prices on vanilla right now.

 

Creamy Ziti Florentine

by Sally Vargas

Creamy Ziti Florentine

Florence, the capital of Tuscany, is known as the birthplace of the Renaissance. But art is not its only treasure.

The food of Florence is renowned, albeit simple and with roots in peasant cuisine. One famous dish, a hefty Tuscan steak, is grilled and often served on a bed of spinach with a few lemon wedges.

In fact this dark, leafy green is so frequently found in dishes from this region that seeing the tag “Florentine” in the name of a recipe usually implies that spinach is involved. Chicken Florentine, Quiche Florentine, and now this one – Ziti Florentine!

7 Easy Breakfast Recipes for Thanksgiving Morning

by Carrie Havranek

Holiday Breakfasts

We spend so much time planning Thanksgiving dinner that breakfast is often neglected. A good breakfast, though, is part of a winning strategy.

Starving yourself for turkey won't help—especially if you're charged with all the cooking. No one want to pass out face first in their gravy.
