Turkey Day Leftovers

Here is a stockpot that has the turkey carcass, onions, celery, carrots, thyme and parsley. I also poured in the juices from the turkey then added in water to cover the bones well.

Here's a bowl of soup we had made for tonight. When the stock was done I poured everything through a sieve and just kept the broth. I threw all the dark meat into the pot and some fresh chopped carrots. In a separate pan I made some basmati rice. I don't like making it in the soup pot because all the leftovers become mushy. So what we did was put a spoon of rice in the bowl, a scoop of cooked sweet potato and some of the meat and carrots out of the soup pan. I then drizzled the broth over the top.

We ended up seasoning only with salt afterwards. This was lovely! Just one of many leftover ideas. I have more ideas posted below. Have fun!

My Adult Tonsillectomy Story

Post Surgery as soon as I arrived home. For anyone who really knows me, I have always been completely terrified of surgery. So when I went to an ENT and he said I needed a tonsillectomy I was not very happy. I found out in either January or February and I couldn't make my appointment till the end of June because that's when my husband could get off work to help out. I wrote this so I could hopefully help someone going through the same thing. Without further ado, here goes. Week Before Surgery: This is when I started purchasing everything I had seen online that might be helpful. I also started setting up an area on the main floor where I could be inclined for sleeping and have everything at my finger tips. At the bottom of this post I will have a list of items that I personally found helpful for my recovery. I also have food allergies and tried to stay away from them as much as possible. So my food options may seem different than ma...

Christmas Gift Planning Year Round

Picture borrowed from http://moneysavingmom.com/2011/09/get-a-jump-start-on-holiday-shopping.html/christmas-presents I love to plan my Christmas gifts starting in January. This helps me not only save money but save sanity. I save money because I have all year to look for those specific items and it saves my sanity because my family is not stressed about what to get someone. We're prepared. Here's a few steps that have helped me. 1. First decide if you want to make all/some of your gifts. If you want to make them, try to find neat and unique ideas online. I LOVE pinterest.com for getting great ideas. 2. Is there someone in your family that has a lot of stuff? For those people I get the same thing every year. For our grandparents we do pictures in some form and homemade goodies. For my mom and dad, I always get them a gift certificate to a Bed and Breakfast and add in something small for each one. 3. Make a list of everyone...

Joshie's Busy Book

I wanted to do one of these for Jon when he was little but never got to it. Now, several years later I've finally started AND completed one of these little books. I'd love to add more pages in the future, but for now I call this good. Knowing Joshie, he'll love this! I can't wait to see him get it on Christmas Day! A Big Letter "J" for Joshua! A black fuzzy buckle to play with; fringed felt to run his sweet baby fingers through and a red wagon; every little boys dream. Cut out shapes with velcro for matching and a Kangaroo mama and with a baby roo that peeks in and out of her pouch. A dolphin leaping out of the waves (that make noise) and a cow with a jingling bell. Last bu...
