You cooked for three days, and the big day is here. Everyone is seated around the table, the blessing has be given and now it's time to eat and in 20 minutes it's over.
Now it's time to put those leftovers to good use so you won't have to cook for maybe 3 days.

Enjoy

Thanksgiving Leftover Croquettes




. The croquettes freeze well, then just pop them in the microwave for a quick meal or snack. :)

  • 2 -3 cups cooked turkey, chopped up (leftovers)
  • 2 cups prepared stuffing (leftovers)
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten

  3. Roll the croquettes in flour, then bread crumbs. Fry in oil in deep skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides and bottom, about 10-15 minutes. Keep warm in 200 degree Fahrenheit oven.
  4. Sauce: (or you can use leftover gravy) Meanwhile, mix the can of soup with the half cup milk in a saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until warmed and creamy.

    keto food on the go snacks to eat on keto diet affirms Gueron. If you’re not the pad and paper type,Ansel recommends keeping a running journal on your smartphone or trying an app like MyFitness Pal or Lose It.While it’s good to understand portion sizes on diet labels, you will want to flip them to your benefit? For example, of a plate of ice cream with a few blueberries instead, have a plate of blueberries with a spoonful of ice cream. While one glass of ice cream has a lot more than 250 calories rather than much in the true way of nutrition, one glass of blueberries contains just 80 calories and is an excellent way to obtain vitamin and fiber C. Or, rather than a plate of pasta with some veggies, have a plate of veggies with some pasta. A mix of steamed or roasted cruciferous vegetables works great with a smaller amount of pasta. Not only does this ingredient swap cut the calories in the dish, the additional veggies provide nutrients like dietary fiber, potassium and vitamin A.
