SENIOR MOMENT 4 WOMEN

My son bought our family a 13 pound turkey for Thanksgiving. This was way too much turkey for our small family. We split the turkey in half. One half was put in the freezer. There was still breast  meat left over from the other half we served on Thanksgiving Day.   I needed to come up with a recipe quickly.   I don't like to eat leftover turkey after 4 days.  I rummaged in my pantry and saw  packets of White chilli mix and chili seasoning mix.  I decided to prepare Mexican flavored dishes.  These dishes can be used  anytime you have leftover chicken, turkey, or beef. walmart.com QUICK & EASY.

My family ate good food on Thanksgiving Day. They had full stomachs and went home happy. Everyone took take out plates of food home too.  Figuring out what to do with the rest of the  leftover food was clearly considered my problem. I decided to prepare the same meals  I usually prepare from Thanksgiving leftovers. I have no time for  stress. I'm not going  to try to come up with  new recipes.

unsplash.com I have seen movies where families have a kid' s table set up during Thanksgiving  and Christmas. I have never had to do this. But I do have one dessert that kids love,  Pineapple Banana Pudding! My children  loved  it any time of year. I came up with this twist on Banana Pudding because I don't  love bananas. I tried crushed pineapple mixed with the bananas as an experiment. The family really raved about it.  Therefore, I make Pineapple Banana Pudding several times a year.  Most cooks serve Banana Pudding doing the summer,  since it is a cool  no-one bake dessert. I  break the  rules and  tradition and include it with my Thanksgiving or Christmas desserts. clipground.com PINEAPPLE BANANA PUDDING 2- 3.5 oz boxes vanilla pudding mix  1- 15 oz can crushed pineapple, drained, (reserve juice) 2 large bananas 1 teaspoon lemon juice 11 oz Box vanilla wafers 16 oz extra creamy whipped topping, ...
