    We use our potatoes for "corn" fritters. We always add the leftover corn and green onions for savory top with butter. Or sweet with just corn and maple syrup

    You are the most inventive meal planners on a budget. Some others are very repetitive, so I don't get new ideas. Also, you add tons of veg and items like tofu. As a vegan, it's very helpful to see what you come up with. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your channel ❤

    If you put your aromatics in the microwave for a few mins before putting into the turkey cavity, it gives off more flavor into the bird. I do the same thing when I roast a chicken. Debi in Vicksburg, MS. 🥰🥰

    I make a Spanish shredded chicken in my InstaPot. Add chicken, chicken broth and 1 can of Rotel w green chili's. Cook.until done, shred with 2 forks. Add a few tablespoons of sour cream and stir. Great for street tacos, taquitos, Mexi bowls, enchiladas, etc. Freezes well too!!!

    I grew up only having what we called shepherds pie after Christmas . My mum made it with leftover turkey . I believed it was called shepherds pie because of the shepherds who visited the stable at Christmas. I was shocked to find out that it had nothing to do with Christmas ,when I was 18 I still love turkey Christmas shepherds pie
