Oh mah stahs, I can't get ovah the commersheeyul Cate posted yestahday, straight from Boston!
I LOVED IT!!!!!
Oh I will smile all through the Super Bowl, thinking of this commercial, although I did see a really funny Bud Light Seltzer commercial on Twitter, too.... so we'll see.
Anyway, it's been a busy week here on the farm, unusual for mid-winter, but just how it rolls sometimes, so while I did a turkey breast for Sunday (like a real, proper Sunday dinner!), it gave me awesome Monday leftovers.... which I turned into a mashed potato-topped pot pie.
And it was easy and delicious and I served the leftover stuffing on the side.
Stovetop, by the way..... I got a box of 8 Turkey and 8 Chicken in November.
So here's the easy peasy:
Heat the leftover gravy or use a large jar of gravy and pour it into a 13 x 9 pan.
Thin gravy with about 1/2 water (so if two cups of gravy, one cup of water)
Add 1/2 10 oz bag (or the whole thing) of mixed vegetables.
Add about two cups of cut/chopped leftover turkey or chicken
Pop into oven....
Once hot you can top it with leftover stuffing or potatoes. I used potatoes and then kind of wished I'd used the stuffing because the bottom of the potatoes got soggy.... the stuffing holds its own.
And here was the final look:
See what I mean? The spuds kind of sank.... mushed.... now it tasted great and the family loved it, but if I'd reversed the order and used the stuffing on top, it would have been better.
But there is something about such a wholesom, old-fashioned dinner, total comfort food. And here are some fun pics of our Make a Gingerbread House Day... Oh my stars, we are not artists, but we had so much fun!!!!
Goofy kids....
Moms pressed into service, well out of their comfort zone!!!
Boys having fun in a quiet nook...
Watching Beth/Mom assemble the houses....
Miss MacKenzie home in time from gymnastics to do a couple of houses!
And a train!!!!!!
It ended up being a really fun family project... and that's the beauty of it!
Until next week.... post-Super Bowl where I'm cheering for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, so all youse Midwesterners will be cheering with me, I expect!
