Did you all survive the dreaded black Friday? I personally turned into a hermit. Seriously. I didn’t ever leave the house that entire day. The sheer fear, dread, and anxiety of being trampled to death had me hold up like a recluse, refusing the venture out into the wild unknown. I decorated from Christmas instead. It was perfect.
Lets talk some leftovers. I know…I know…I’m still at it.
This could very well be my favorite day of the year.
I love waking up and knowing there are loads of leftovers awaiting me in my fridge. I’m talking awesome leftovers too. So many options and possibilities. The breakfast hashes, the TURKEY SANDWICHES, the turkey soups, turkey pot pies…aww lawdy! I can ramble on and on and on.
By the way, how was your Thanksgiving? Did you manage to lounge around, and have a lazily food filled day, or did you have to dodge shrapnel and landmines at forced or uncomfortable family gatherings? I defiantly had an amazing day full of fabulous food and wonderful family.
This. Is. Possibly. The. Greatest. Sandwich. Ever.
If you find yourself belly up in couch cousins the day after tha Thanksgivins feast smorgasbord food-o-rama extravaganza, feeling extra lazy and extra hungry come lunch or dinner time I’ve got a superb recipe for you. Actually this isn’t really a recipe. It’s just a great sandwich idea. Perfect for leftover usage of the Bird.
I have been so totally geeked out lately! Think a hummingbird on the crack rock.
That’s because Thanksgiving is nearing and I cannot help but get pumped up. Blasting around, making lists, time schedules, and menus. Thanksgiving and Christmas, well they are, kind of my jam.
I’ve taken it upon myself recently to bring to you some lovely Thanksgiving inspired ideas. Outside the usual fixings on Turkey Day. Some traditional, some tweaked in small little ways, and just some Adriennetastic recipes.
Let me tell you a wittle seetwet. I like to eat cheese.
Lots of cheese. Fried cheese, cheese quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches, baked bree cheeses, lasagna, or basically anything that has a generous layer of cheese coating it, I’m going to be a big supporter. So as you can imagine, nachos hold a special place in my heart.

Holly smokes guys. It’s election day! Boo-baaa-daa-daaumm. Did you all go down and vote? Bet your surely little whiskers I did. I have been in a constant state of abuzz wondering who will be the next leader of our country and if I have a mustache growing. Big deal stuff here folks.
Speaking of smoke. This pasta. Smokey shrimp, which happens to be uninhibitedly one of my favorite flavor combos just really makes for a nice, quick, toss together week night dinner.
Mexican food. Why do I love you so much? I have been smitten for as long as I can remember, and I don’t think my burning love for thee will ever smolder.
Simple chicken tacos with cabbage slaw. I mean, it’s so easy, we’ve all seen it done 10,000 times, but yet, I still find myself completely satisfied and happy when I make them and consume them.
Recovering nicely from a sugar hangover? Did you feel the need to take a slew of Ibuprofen this morning, wear dark sunglasses, and avoid loud noises and bright lights? Yeah…(sigh) me too.
So this healthy, easy soup is totally my ticket back to normalcy from the candy mayhem bender that I ventured upon. Let me tell you, I looked into the glorious sugary face of evil and it was not pretty. It was unspeakably beautiful.
My life, my real life, started late one fall night as a cowboy in perfectly broke-in jeans and a stetson walked into it. And yes, I’m totally aware at how this sounds. But it’s true. You all should know.
I get sentimental and nostalgic this time of year, particularly the end of October when my world was forever changed in the most magnificent way. Now before you spike your computer out the nearest window and throw up a little in your mouth because of my sappiness, I promise I’m getting to the good stuff.
I thought I needed to make this man, this cowboy, happy and bake loaded potato skins. These are so perfect for a pretty fast easy supper, or a great football/party appi.
