POTATO PANCAKES
Here's another yummy treat to make with your mashed potatoes. Mix 2 cups mashed potatoes, 2 eggs, ¼ cup flour, salt, pepper, garlic, and any optional ingredients (onions, green peppers, cheese etc.). Preheat skillet and add a couple of tablespoons of Crisco shortening or oil. Make sure the mixture is not too thin. Pour 1/4 cup batter into hot pan; brown on both sides. Enjoy with sour cream or applesauce.
CRANBERRY CINNAMON FLAX BEER BREAD
Cranberries are the quintessential Thanksgiving side item. Use any leftovers to make a warm bread. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 5x9-inch loaf pan. Gently whisk 2.5 cups flour, ½ cup flax meal, ¼ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon together in a large bowl. Whisk one cup ale into flour mixture; fold in one cup of cranberry sauce. Pour batter into the prepared pan; drizzle melted butter over batter. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 1 hour.
APPLE PIE MILKSHAKES
There's nothing quite like warm apple pie—but it's even better cold! In blender, blend one piece of apple pie, three scoops vanilla ice cream, and ½ cup milk until smooth. (Add more milk if you'd rather a thinner consistency.) Pour into milkshake glass and garnish with whipped cream, caramel sauce, and apple pie crumbles.
SMOKED TURKEY TORTILLA WRAPS
This recipe is a little on the healthier side. Heat 10 whole wheat flour tortillas in a large skillet over medium heat until slightly browned. Divide 10 sliced turkey strips, one avocado, ½ cup sour cream, and ½ cup cheese among the warmed tortillas. For an extra treat, throw in some of your left over green veggies, like asparagus. Fold in half and serve.
