Meal plan: the week *after* Thanksgiving

So. much. turkey.

Sunday: gutton and turkey dumplings, cranberry soy dipping sauce


French Canadian meat spread with a hard-to-spell name (we pronounce it guh-tahn), plus chopped turkey, plus sauteed onion, garlic, ginger and mirin to deglaze the pan.

Monday: turkey soup! duh.


Tuesday: tex mex sweet potatoes with chopped turkey


Josie enjoys this meal, especially when I let her lick the sour cream spoon. Homegirl is DOWN with dairy.

Wednesday: I went out to a new Korean joint with some friends, Adam and Josie went next door and had chicken and sweet potatoes. Josie refused food due to excitement of neighbor's toys, ate a pouch and pounded some milk before a late bedtime. #winning


Thursday: MORE LEFTOVERS no I am not kidding. (But the last of them, I suspect)


I made these "potato puffs" based on a recipe on The Kitchn, but I veered wildly off script since... that's what I do. Mixed up the 2ish cups of leftover potatoes, the 1/2 cup of sweet potato and maybe 1 cup of stuffing with 3 beaten eggs and like 3/4 cup of cheddar, mini-muffined, and baked at 375 for about 25 minutes. We are still eating these, hoping to finish them tonight. Josie LOVES them, so that's a nice win.

Friday: Granny's bringing food for herself and the baby, Mommy and Papa are going out for dinner!
