Welcome, Friends!
Tomorrow is the first day of December.....officially my favorite month of the year. I love a season that brings together family, food, and faith, and there is no better time to share some of my favorite dishes with you all.
This week, I am giving you a couple of delicious ideas on what to do with that leftover Thanksgiving food. My Turkey Enchilada is a family favorite around here, and you will even want to make it when it isn't leftover season.
I have also included one of my go-to comforting and hearty dishes that my family craves as it gets colder outside. You might even want to consider it for a festive twist on your Christmas dinner theme.
Let's dig in,

You know, making lasagna does not have to be complicated to be delicious. I promise that if you try this one, you will not be disappointed.

So simple yet so delicious! Chop up some fresh romaine, add crunch croutons, and toss with this creamy Caesar dressing. Finish with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for the perfect side dish to your lasagna dinner.

Thanksgiving Leftovers Waffle Part 1 - this was super easy to make and did not take much time at all. If you want the recipe to the Cranberry Relish at the end of the video head over to CookitwithTim dot com #leftovers #thanksgiving #turkey #stuffing #cheese This waffle was much better than I thought it would be. Here are the ingredients I used: Leftover Stuffing 2 Eggs Turkey about 1 cup Cheddar & Mozzarella Cheeses BBQ Seasoning Topped with my Fresh Cranberry Relish

🎄 Some Tips for Getting into the Christmas Mood! |
|
|
- 🎵Make a Christmas playlist filled with your holiday favorites! Let music set the tone as you ease into the season.
- ☕️Spread kindness on purpose. It could be as simple as texting someone an encouraging word or paying for the person behind you! Be creative!
- 🎄Decorate something - anything! If it seems overwhelming or "not worth it", start small with picking a cozy corner or shelf!
- Christmas baking always brings joy in our home- Below is my recipe for Monster Cookies (a family favorite) and Christmas Praline Cookies

This is a favorite dessert that we make early in December so that we can share them all season. They freeze great and are gluten-free! |

🕊️ Fuel for the Soul (Not Just the Belly):
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it. John 1:5
As we move from Thanksgiving's gratitude into the expectant joy of Christmas, we can remember this promise: God's light shines steadily, even in our hurried or weary moments.
I pray His presence warms your home and quiets your heart this week.
Take a moment to pause, breathe deep, and invite His light to guide your week.
