Some people love leftovers while other people are a little unexcited by the prospect of eating the same thing for several days running. Personally, I adore not having to cook for days at a time and can happily eat plates full of turkey, stuffing and potatoes for five or six days running. The only problem I encounter is that the veggies tend to run out before everything else, leaving me with nothing more than a plate of starch and protein.

One of my mom's Thanksgiving tricks, that I'm adopting this year, is to buy a second vegetable that you don't cook on Thursday but instead save for the next day. That way, you have a fresh veg to go along side the mounds of potatoes, stuffing and turkey. If you're looking for a little vegetable inspiration, and you didn't cook up a mound of Brussels Sprouts yesterday, check out this recipe from Food+Photography.

We're big wine drinkers during the holidays. I'll go with a Cabernet Sauvignon before a cocktail or beer. We'll finish off a bottle no problem and then open another one, but there's often a lot left from this second bottle. Sure, we could put the cork back on and/or put it in the fridge, but how about using the leftover wine in a cookie recipe?

This is a recipe for Wine Cookies, or Biscotti al Vino. Basically it sounds like sugar cookies only with a cup of wine of your choice added in. Cheers!

My roommate makes yams with marshmallows on top every Thanksgiving, and every Thanksgiving there are always a bag of them left over (really, two bags is too much for one bowl of sweet potatoes). So what can you do with them, besides eating them as a snack, putting them in hot chocolate, or toasting them on a campfire?

You can make Marshmallow Icing for cakes and other desserts. I usually go the canned Duncan Hines route for my frostings and icings, but this one actually seems rather easy.

I'm ashamed to admit this, but I don't own a crockpot. It's just one of those kitchen items I haven't bought for myself yet, but I'm going to remedy that this winter. I'm starting to realize that many of the recipes that have intrigued me lately start with the phrase, "Put the ingredients in a crockpot..."

This comes from the Cooking For 2 blog, and it's a recipe for Crockpot Thanksgiving Turkey. You've had it roasted from the oven, you've had it in sandwich form, and you may have even had it deep-fried, so try it crockpotted (?).The ingredients include turkey gravy, sage, Worcester sauce, garlic, pepper, and bacon. Mmmm...bacon.

This is the dish that actress Rebecca Mornay serves to her family the day after Thanksgiving every year. OK, that's not true at all. I really have no idea where the name comes from. But if you're looking to do something with the leftover Turkey you're going to have this Thursday, besides the usual sandwich or soup (nothing wrong with those,of course), take a look at this recipe after the jump.

My family buys the canned cranberry sauce, the jellied stuff that comes out of the can retaining the shape of the can, grooves and all! Is that great or what? If you're like us, you always buy too much cranberry sauce. The cans are fairly cheap and we always have a can or two leftover. Hell, there's probably a can in my cupboard right now from last year.

This is a recipe to use that cranberry sauce. It's for Cranberry Meatballs, and it's pretty easy to make (you use frozen, cooked meatballs, unless you want to make your own).

I was thinking about the Friends episode where Ross goes crazy because someone at work eats the "Moistmaker" turkey sandwich that sister Monica made for him, and oddly enough, I came across this recipe for the sandwich at fredericksburg.com (scroll down on their site), also inspired by the Friends episode. The secret is the slice of gravy-soaked bread in the middle! Recipe after the jump, along with a special video clip to get you in the mood.
