    I have been putting cranberry apple sauce in my oats- I just made apple sauce cooked with leftover cranberry sauce. So good and happy to see it make an appearance here!! Looking forward to your turkey soup recipe.

    I always thought it was my imagination that my brother (1st born) got all the attention. I’m beginning to see why I felt that way!

    Yummm a Thanksgiving salad sounds perfect! We don’t have Thanksgiving leftovers anymore, we always have it at my cousins’s house and honestly, there usually isn’t much left!

    The attention from grandparents is just so great and never stops at any age! I love it! Haha.
    I am excited to see that turkey soup recipe. I love the idea of putting the turkey on a pizza. Makes me want to do a Thanksgiving themed pizza!!!

    Oh we have still been loving the leftovers too! I think today we’ll probably be the last day for them though! Our mashed potato supplies are dwindling 😉

    I had Thanksgiving dinner at my parents house, so no leftovers for me! I kinda want to make a mini Thanksgiving-round-2 just so I can have it all again! 🙂

    Doesn’t cranberry sauce make everything taste amazing! I even had it on pizza with roasted squash, cashew cream base and crispy kale on top! Also swirled it through a pumpkin pancake batter…amazing!

    Kath,
    What is the brand of straw sippy that you are using for Mazen’s milk? Is it Zoli or something else? I”m looking for a sippy just for milk that doesn’t leak, and Zoli’s often leak with milk! Thanks.

    The sandwich and the granola bowl look best to me – but everything looks great! Excellent use of leftovers 🙂 I almost like leftovers better than the ‘real’ thing!
