We had a quiet Thanksgiving at home. Our meal was the traditional turkey (smoked to perfection), mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, and stuffing. My husband did a fabulous job smoking the turkey. It was perfect. For once my mashed potatoes turned out pretty good too. Of course, the best part is using the leftover mashed potatoes to make my favorite bread... lefse.
No, I am not Norwegian, but I love lefse. Add some butter, cream, salt and flour. Roll into balls, refrigerate, roll out as thin as possible, lay on a hot griddle until browned, then flip to brown the other side. I can't think of a better treat. 
In an attempt to walk off the Thanksgiving feast, Dollor has been getting a lot of runs this weekend.
Did you have a good Thanksgiving? What is your favorite part of the meal? Do you have a go to leftover recipe?
We treated ourselves out to a very fancy meal. October was our 50th anniversary so we did a big splurge. It was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour bread is very interesting I have never heard of it.

We had a lefse party last year. What a blast! Barb makes great turkey noodle soup and of course there is the open-faced turkey sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteYum! I'll be right over for some lefse! We didn't have a lot of leftovers, but turkey pot pie sounds nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's always all about the dressing around here. Thanks for the pot pie idea, I needed a push in one direction or another. Dollor is a handsome fellow. Are the big cats still making their presence know around your woods?
ReplyDeleteI didn't have many leftovers. Enough turkey for a sandwich or two, but that's about itl Your lefse sounds interesting.
