Thanksgiving Leftovers Casserole

Food is without a doubt the best part of Thanksgiving and it's fun to have leftovers to enjoy the next day. However, after several days of eating these leftovers as they are, it gets boring but you don't want to let them go to waste. In that case, you just need a way to bring new life to your leftovers. Yesterday, I brought some new life to my leftovers in this wonderful casserole recipe I'm about to share with you. It's also perfect because it requires minimal dishes and clean up and the oven does the work for you. So you can do the laundry, shop online, walk the dog, whatever you have to do while this is in the oven. That's how practical it is on a weekday between Thanksgiving and Christmas. This recipe is based both on the leftovers I had in the house as well as other ingredients but I hope it helps you to bring some new life to your leftovers and have some fun with them.

Ingredients:
1.5c seasoned rice of choice (I used the Basmati/Wild rice mix from Trader Joe's that has dehydrated herbs and vegetables in it. I used it to stuff an acorn squash on Thanksgiving so I had a ton left over)
1c stuffing
1 can green beans (I was out of green bean casserole but still wanted green beans in this dish)
1 handful of spinach
1/2c gravy
1c almond milk

Procedure:
1. Mix all ingredients in a casserole dish and season to taste.

2. Bake for 40 minutes at 350°.

Time is based on using a ceramic dish. If you use a different kind of dish, it might take more or less time. Comment how long it takes if you don't use a ceramic dish.

I hope this helps!

Product Review: Seneca Original Apple Chips

Occasionally, I'll buy or be gifted some new products to try, and a big source of said products I try are airplane snacks. I know a few flight attendants, and I also know a few people who travel a lot because of their jobs but don't work for an airline. American Airlines is through the roof when it comes to both healthy and not so healthy vegan snack options, and the options, especially in first class but probably also in main cabin, rotate seasonally and are ever changing. My travelling friends and family bring home some of those items for me to try and see what I think of them. Some I have liked and some I haven't. One of the products I've been introduced to this way is Seneca Apple Chips, original flavor. I wouldn't rank them quite at the top but I would absolutely not rank them at the bottom either. This post will cover my thoughts regarding the taste, nutritional profile, and what I'd be inclined to do with them. What I like about them Not greasy or me

Cinco de Mayo as a vegan

Happy Cinco de Mayo! When you think of the anniversary of the Mexicans winning the Battle of Puebla, what comes to mind? For me, it's food, food, and did I mention food? You will meet few people who love Mexican food more than I do. One of my favorite things about Mexican cuisine is how easy it is to make it vegan and on Cinco de Mayo, I don't need an excuse to load up on it. I made taco bowls for lunch today from cooked quinoa, lettuce, tomato, red bell pepper, salsa, and a chopped black bean burger patty. The salsa I used is the Tostitos original one. I grew up loving Tostitos products and I'm super happy that I don't have to give them up to live this lifestyle. My go to black bean burger patties are from the brand "Gardein", which makes plant based imitation meats 100% vegan and all of them that I have tried look and taste like the real thing and are quick and easy to prepare and I absolutely love them.

Vegan Pad Thai

So this is an original recipe of mine that's fairly easy to do but demands your full attention. Trust me. I've had one too many disasters in the kitchen when I did this one the first few times. Probably not the best recipe to do if you have to leave the kitchen unattended for even a second. However, if, like me, you find cooking therapeutic and are looking for an unrushed meal to prepare, this may be just what you're looking for. For you gluten free folks, this is gluten free as is. If you're nut free, suggestions for adaptations to make it nut free but just as amazing will be at the bottom after I discuss the recipe Ingredients: 1. A pack of rice noodles 2. Half a block of tofu, chopped or diced 3. 6 or more green onions, chopped 4. 4tsp peanut butter 5. A handful of chopped almonds 6. Himalayan salt 7. Garlic powder 8. Grated ginger or 1tsp maca powder 9. Red pepper flakes 10. 2tbsp coconut oil Procedure: 1. Prepare rice noodles according to package instr
