I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Now, what to do with leftover turkey? Patricia Nicholes says to make a turkey pot pie, and she gave me the recipe.

I said, “Yes, I am making this.” I love pot pies and I have all the ingredients to make one. It looks pretty easy. Thank you, Patricia, for this recipe.

As for myself, I am still full of Thanksgiving and I might just eat a salad and save this for later. I need a break from my kitchen. Or maybe I will order a pizza. I do happen to have a free pizza coupon from my friend at Papa Johns. Thank you, Chip. Now I guess I really will have to make you a peanut butter pie.

Have a great week, and please send me your favorite holiday recipes. Send them to [email protected] or call me at 937-393-3456.
