Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwich

You know why I put up with hosting and cooking the all-day affair aka Thanksgiving Dinner every year? The answer is…..so that I have a fridge full of leftovers. Aren’t they the best part of Thanksgiving, the leftovers? C’mon, let’s be frank. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. Amirite?

Without leftovers there wouldn’t be a second meal to look forward to. And then, the saddest part of all, there wouldn’t be the Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwich. That wouldn’t be right. Wouldn’t be right at all!

So, on Thanksgiving Day, I’m thankful for the leftovers. I’m happy and feel blessed that my fridge is full and I don’t have to cook again for at least half a week. And that I can feed my family leftovers sandwiches, for which they are thankful!

There are many more reasons to be thankful, of course, too many to list here, but the sandwich is one of them. What about you? What are you thankful for?

Features from FF43 are:

Mille Crêpe Cake from Tina @Mademoiselle Gourmande.

In Stephanie’s words, “This recipe might not have been as easy as snapping your fingers but I thought that the time that Tina put into making this cake was WELL worth it– because I got to sit at my computer and drool over it. (A few times throughout the day, to be honest).”

When I made my Mille Crêpe Cake (remember?), I thought I found an incredible recipe. Until I saw Tina’s. This is even better! This is incredibler! I know exactly what Stephanie is talking about. I’m drooling all over my computer now.

White Chocolate Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls from Hannah @Domestic Gothess.

In Tracy’s words, “Um. These are ridiculous. As if the white chocolate pumpkin cinnamon rolls aren’t enough, that white chocolate cream cheese glaze I want to drizzle on everything!”

Pumpkin and white chocolate, wow! Why didn’t I think of that combination before? It sounds like a winner to me! I’m giving this a try. You should, too!

Purgatory Eggs from Mandi @MADAVOCADO.

Whaaat?? That title alone should get your attention. And is that a smiley on the egg? Whaaat?? Definitely got my attention now. Seriously, this sounds so simple and so yummy. After an all day Thanksgiving dinner affair, a simple brunch like this is just the ticket. Thank you, Mandi! I will follow your advice, I won’t go fancy with this. Stick to simple, I geddit!

A New Take on Lobster Bisque from Petra @Food Eat Love.

In Stephanie’s words, “Petra took a risk and steered away from all of the classic lobster bisque recipes – and from what I can see, that was the RIGHT thing to do! This bisque is creamy, and full of fresh, delicious lobster. She definitely stole my heart with this one :)”

It’s been years since I last made lobster bisque. I can’t even remember what goes in it, it’s been that long. But Petra’s version sounds tantalizing! Next time I make lobster bisque, I’ll reach for her recipe. Hopefully it won’t take me more years to get to it.

Poached Pear Salad with Blue Cheese, Candied Walnuts and Bacon from Johanne @French Gardener Dishes.

In Tracy’s words, “I just love the idea of a poached pear in a salad. Plus, I don’t think you can do any wrong with blue cheese, caramelized walnuts and bacon.”

This must be what people call an inspired dish. I never really understood the term before. But just look at that deconstructed pear. So creative! Plus, like Tracy said, how can you go wrong with blue cheese, caramelized walnuts and bacon?
