Another Christmas Decoration Idea

Here is a simple Christmas decoration idea, just use bows. Decorate everything with bows.

* Tie ribbons to chair backs, candlesticks, picks in plants, wreaths, garlands, basket handles, drapery tie-backs, stair railings, and doorknobs.
* Bows look festive and the ribbons you choose should tie together with the rest of your decorating. Choose ribbons in colors and patterns that coordinate with your decorating scheme.
* You don't have to stick with red and green. Choose plaids or florals that tie in. If you can't find anything that looks quite right, then choose metallic silver, gold, green, or red.
* Choose a ribbon that you can untie and re-tie each year. This will save money in the long run, and you'll end up with a good collection.
* When the holidays are over, untie the ribbons and press them lightly. The bows won't get crushed and the ribbons will be ready when you want to take them out the next year.
I hope you can use this decoration idea.

Have a great weekend.

Frittata For The Day-After Thanksgiving

This is the last Thanksgiving post. I just had to give you this recipe for those Thanksgiving leftovers. The best thing is that this will only take you 30 minutes to make.


Ingredients
PAM Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
1 can (14.5 oz each) Hunt's Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic & Oregano, drained
1-1/2 cups chopped cooked turkey (1-1/2 cups = 8 oz)
1/2 cup leftover chopped zucchini or green beans
1 carton (16 oz each) Egg Beaters Original (16 oz = 2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, optional
1/4 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup = 1 oz)

Directions

1. Preheat broiler. Spray medium nonstick skillet with ovenproof handle with cooking spray; heat over high heat. Add drained tomatoes, turkey and vegetable. Cook 3 minutes, or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
2. Pour Egg Beaters and red pepper, if desired, evenly over turkey mixture; reduce heat to medium-high. As edge begins to set, lift up using a spatula to let as much liquid Egg Beater flow underneath until edge is set, about 2 minutes (top and center will still be very loose). Sprinkle cheese evenly over top.
3. Place skillet under broiler. Broil 4 minutes, or just until top is set. Cut into 6 wedges.

HAPPY DAY-AFTER THANKSGIVING

Gravy For Your Thanksgiving Turkey

For those of you who like gravy with your Thanksgiving turkey here’s a recipe for it.


Ingredients

* 2 pounds turkey wings
* 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 medium onion, halved
* 4 carrots, chopped
* 1 head garlic, smashed
* 2 sprigs fresh sage
* 2 sprigs fresh thyme
* 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
* 8 black peppercorns
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Put the turkey wings (also backbone and neck if you have it) into a small roasting pan and roast them until they are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, garlic, herbs, and peppercorns and cook for 5 minutes. Add the turkey wings. Pour some water into the roasting pan and scrape up all the browned bits on the bottom; add this to the pot. Cover everything in the pot with cold water by 1-inch and bring to the boil, skimming any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Strain out the solids and discard. Wipe out the pot and put it over medium heat. Melt the butter with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and add the flour. Cook this roux, stirring frequently, until it is golden brown. Slowly whisk in the strained stock being careful to work out any lumps. Cook until the gravy has thickened, about 10 to 15 minutes.
