Leftover Turkey and Stuffing
Leftover turkey-enough to cover and layer on the bottom of a slow cooker
Leftover stuffing-enough to spoon and layer over the leftover turkey
1 can of whole corn-drained
2 tablespoons butter
~1 cup water
Directions:
In a slow cooker, cover and layer leftover turkey on the base of the slow cooker. Next spoon the leftover stuffing over the leftover turkey until it is covered with another layer. Add the drained corn over the stuffing as the last layer, then dollop a couple tablespoons of butter over the corn and stuffing, and lastly drizzle water into the slow cooker to create additional moisture for the dish. Cook on low for an hour. Serve with left over green bean casserole, cranberry sauce and dinner rolls.
Caramel Corn
6 quarts popped corn
2 cups brown sugar
½ white Karo syrup
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 sticks butter
Directions:
Pop-popcorn and let cool evenly across a baking sheet. Combine brown sugar, Karo syrup, salt and butter in a saucepan and bring to a slow-rolling boil for five minutes. Be careful, this combination will be hot and can spurt out of the saucepan once it begins to boil. After five minutes, add baking soda and vanilla into the saucepan combination. Stir slowly until the soda and vanilla are stirred evenly. Remove from heat. Pour combination over the popcorn on the baking sheet. Toss the sugar combination to coat the popcorn, lightly and evenly, then bake in the oven at 250 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Enjoy!
Hot Chocolate Sticks
Hot Chocolate Mix
Candy canes
White or Dark Almond Bark
Sprinkles of any kind
Wax paper
Directions:
Line table or countertop with wax paper. In a microwavable dish, break 3-4 chunks of your choice of almond bark off the main log of almond bark and place in the microwavable dish. Melt almond bark in slow increments in the microwave, 20-30 seconds at a time. Once it is melted, dip the candy canes into the almond bark and remove to wax paper, and quickly add sprinkles. The almond bark will harden fast.
Heat your choice of hot chocolate, and add the candy cane covered treat as the stirrer. Enjoy!
