Turkey Alfredo Casserole

Turkey Alfredo Casserole
The best thing about holiday meals is leftovers. The worst thing about holiday meals is figuring out what to do with them. Here’s a delicious solution! And it is easier than it looks. You know I love easy-peasy, so I use frozen veggies to save time. I also start early - let the spinach drain while I do other things. I grate the gruyere in a food processor.
Course Main Dish

  • 1 bag or 1 lb Frozen Cauliflower Florets
  • 10 oz Frozen Spinach - thawed and drained

Spiced Plum Cream Pie

Spiced Plum Cream Pie
There is nothing quite like a good fruit pie. I like using seasonal fruit… and plums have a long season… from May 'till October. This pie could be made with other fruit, like peaches… however,  plums are my favorite! You can make this with a pre-made crust if you like. I prefer to make my own. It’s so quick with a food processor it’s crazy! There is something satisfying about rolling out a crust…especially on my trusty Tupperware mat.
