Thanksgiving Leftovers-What to do???

It is this time of year that most families find themselves saddled to the hilt with the task of providing the perfect Thanksgiving dinner. That dinner will result in leftovers for days, sometimes weeks, and in some cases, even months! If preserved and re-worked properly, one person could feasibly eat Thanksgiving Day leftovers for the rest of the year! Some might think this sounds like I am telling a tale here, but I am actually COMPLETELY SERIOUS.
In 2007, I found myself living alone in a one bedroom apartment. This afforded me a lot of benefits, such as, being able to stretch my groceries for a long time. :)  Thanksgiving of 2007 provided me with enough food via leftovers from the family feast, that I did not need to buy groceries until well after the new year!!!  From Jello-salad to turkey to leftover rolls, I made use of every leftover item from my family's Thanksgiving dinner and the Thanksgiving dinner from my office as well. With proper refrigeration, flash freezing, and a bit of creativity, I made fantastic meals for an entire month.
I challenge you to make the most of your Thanksgiving leftovers this year, whether it be by donating to the local women's shelter, re-working leftovers to feed your family, or even using table scraps for beauty treatments. How thankful are you really?

Link of the Week: WE 11/12: Little House in the Suburbs

As winter is closely approaching, we often find the need to keep those little tootsies as warm as possible. Like many folks, I am not a huge fan of socks or slippers, but I will wear them if I am forced to.
Something I have found that helps a lot during the cold months (especially where wood floors are concerned), is a good old fashioned rag rug. Rag rugs are UBER easy to make and can be fashioned out of just about anything now a days! So, if you are looking for an alternative to resting those feet on a cold floor this winter, wander on over to Little House in the Suburbs and check out her No-Sew Rag Rug tutorial. It's easy, promotes recycling what you already have, and will keep those floors and feet toasty!

With things getting a little chilly in Virginia and heat being so expensive, I think this would be an appropriate link for the week:

Check out the Candle Radiator from GBE. It really works-I made three!!!! PLUS-what a great way to enjoy your Candles by Jennifer??? (shameless plug-haha)
