I know! A double QotD!!! Shocking!!! But it’s the season of giving, and I’m feeling generous.
(Plus I have been planning ahead in anticipation of my upcoming vacation!!!)
Yesterday, I waxed poetically about my love for sandwiches using Thanksgiving leftovers. With regards to leftovers…I generally eat all my leftovers with sandwiches.
But what I’d love to hear are other ways to use them! I love the low prices around Thanksgiving for turkey…I got a fresh turkey for 79 cents a pound this year and was very happy. But other times of the year, it’s far pricier. My plan next year is to buy a lot of turkey (in the form of turkey breasts) so that we can enjoy it more often. I don’t want to do a Thanksgiving dinner every time, though.
How do you use your leftovers?
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.
