Ember's tips

I love a helpful tip so I figured why not share them with others. I get them from books, magazines, friends and experience.

leftover Holiday food

While everything is still on sale at the grocery store, by an extra pack of frozen deep dish pie crust. (the double pack). Fill one up with left over turkey, chicken, roast beef or even ham. Then throw in leftover veggies- peas, carrots, even sweet potatoes minus the marshmallow, potatoes (cubed or mashed), then top it all with the extra gravy. Use the other crust while still in the pie pan, and flip it over on top of the bottom crust and filling to become the top crust, and then remove the metal pan. Poke a few holes on top, sprinkle a little salt and pepper or herbs (you can sprinkle a little poultry seasoning since you have nothing else to use it for) seal the edges, and bake until the crust is browned and the filling is heated through and you have a pot pie. If the crust is browning to quickly before the filling has time to heat, just throw the metal pan back on until the last few minutes of cooking. I know it still uses the same ingredients you've been eating, but by day 4 at least it's a new presentation. Plus with the store bought pie pans you just throw them away! You could even skip the pie crust and use a layer of mashed potatoes or stuffing on the top and bottom and make like a shepherds pie type of thing.
