Hi! How as your Thanksgiving? Ours was delicious! We ate around 2:00, and I was so stuffed that I didn’t eat again the rest of the day. Saying it’s rare for me to skip dinner is an understatement, so you know I ate at lot at lunch!

Now I’m taking a break from the very frustrating task of putting up the Christmas tree to pull together seven dinner recipes for you this week. I would love to describe a picturesque scene of my family singing Christmas carols while decorating the tree this morning, but it’s more like me holding back tears and curse words while trying to figure out why the dang lights won’t come on. We got a prelit tree a couple years ago to make our lives easier, but let me tell you: It doesn’t feel easy right now! I’m sure after a little break I’ll walk in there with a smile in my face and get the lights to work. Then the Christmas carols can start flowing. For now, here are some easy dinner ideas!

  1. Turkey Spinach Alfredo Pizza – This has to be my favorite use of leftover turkey ever. We’ll be enjoying this one at some point this weekend for sure!Turkey Spinach Alfredo Pizza - Your Thanksgiving leftovers just got a lot more awesome. #NewTraDish
  2. 30-Minute Pot Pie – I used chicken in this recipe, but it’s perfect for leftover turkey too.
