Turkey a la King

Do you have a few pieces/ slices of roasted Turkey in your fridge?  Yesterday, we enjoyed Turkey a la King for dinner!  It's that very easy meal to prepare and tastes oh so good!  It is very similar to a Turkey Pot Pie.  Pieces of roasted Turkey are combined with mixed vegetables in a creamy white sauce and it is served over toasted bread.  It's that easy to prepare!

Most years I rewrite my recipe to share, but this year the weekend is moving quickly, so I am sharing my previously posted link. 

It seems to be a tradition that the day after Thanksgiving we always enjoy Hot Turkey Sandwiches and the next day Turkey a la King is on our menu.  Tonight? We will be enjoying Turkey Soup with carrots and potatoes with the last of the remaining Turkey chunks.  Yesterday, I prepared Turkey Broth.  I used the Turkey Broth instead of canned Chicken Broth in the Turkey a la King.  Some of the broth is also packed away in our freezer, too!

Enjoy!
Yummy! 

Thursday

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

Butternut Squash Bread

Thanksgiving Day is just around the corner!  Butternut Squash will definitely be a veggie that will find a place on our dinner table.  That orange colored veggie is also an ingredient in a delicious bread.  You guessed it! We will also be enjoying Butternut Squash Bread on that day and over the holiday weekend.  It is so good! 

The recipe is easy!  Cooked, mashed, cooled Butternut Squash is used.  This bread can also be frozen after it cools.  So, bake one or double the recipe and bake two this weekend. After they cool wrap in foil and freeze.  They will be ready to defrost and enjoy on Thanksgiving Day!

Enjoy!
Yummy!

Apple Bread

Apples are a favorite fruit in our household!  In autumn the fresh crops of apples are so good.  Slices of this fruit are a great snack, too.  Desserts made with apples are also favorites of ours and one of our favorite desserts is Apple Bread.  It has a very simple name, but it is packed with flavor.  Fresh chunks of Apples along with Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Orange Juice are tasted with every bite of a slice of this dessert bread. 

Slices in the serving dish!

This bread is so yummy that I always bake two of them at once.  If you are baking two at the same time, just remember to stagger the bread pans in the oven while baking the breads.  After baking and they cool, one of the breads is wrapped in foil and labeled/ dated and placed in our freezer.  It is a wonderful surprise to enjoy in a month or two.  This year during Thanksgiving Day weekend, the second bread will be defrosted and shared at our dinner table.  

For the ingredients and the recipe for Apple Bread- click here. 

In the next few days I will be baking 2 of them.  You guessed it!  One we will enjoy now and the second Apple Bread will be placed in our freezer!  This is a very moist bread that has become a favorite of ours over the years! 

*****If you plan to bake one bread, cut the recipe in half- use only 1/2 of the ingredients.  

Enjoy!
Yummy!
