Making a Quesadilla………………..
Cheddar, Monterey Jack, goat cheese, or Oaxaca cheese are all good options—choose one, or combine two for a creamy, melty mashup. Grate your cheese if it needs to be grated, crumble if not. In a pinch, you can certainly use pre-sliced cheese. You could stop here and make a cheese-only quesadilla. Other Ingredients often include a variety of vegetables like onions, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms and some type of protein such as diced chicken or steak.

Leftover Turkey……………
Cooked turkey is safe in the fridge for up to three to four days, so you can get creative with some recipes over the next few days. Remember, if you’re heating up the leftover turkey, ensure it is piping hot throughout. Do not reheat meat more than once.

When making Deviled Eggs…………
Don’t use Fresh Eggs! Use older eggs that are closer to their expiration date, as you’ll find them easier to peel. Also Avoid Overcooking Eggs. Also overcooked yolks turn a grayish color and emit a slight sulfurous odor, making them unappetizing and unpleasant to smell and look at, so don’t overcook.

Make sure your Bird is done…………………..
If your turkey has a “pop-up” temperature indicator, it is recommended that you also check the internal temperature of the turkey in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast with a food thermometer. Cook your turkey until your thermometer reads 155 -160 degrees. Yes, we know that new safe cooking guidelines say to cook your bird to 165 degrees, but remember that your turkey will continue to cook after removed from the oven and it’s temperature will increase by 10 degrees while resting. Enjoy that Turkey!

Mashed Potatoes……………..
Add cream cheese to your mashed potatoes so they are extra creamy. Add boursin cheese for potatoes that rich, creamy, and lighter in calories. Add a teaspoon of Wasabi powder for spicy Japanese style potatoes. Mash your potatoes with Greek yogurt to make a healthier version that is still creamy and tangy. You can also add minced garlic or garlic powder which enhances potatoes, especially when followed by a healthy sprinkling of shredded cheese. Bottled ranch dressing or dry ranch dressing mix offers a zesty kick. Other favorites are dill, chives and crumbled bacon. Enjoy those Mashed Taters!

Hints for Pork Roast…………..
For a crisp surface on your roast, be sure the oven is fully preheated before putting the roast in and don’t cover the meat while roasting. Searing (quickly browning at high heat) the outside of a pork roast before continuing with cooking is a great way to seal in flavor.

It’s about the Curry…………..
The spice blend, Curry, is rich in anti-inflammatory compounds and consuming it may help reduce oxidative stress, boost heart health, and improve blood sugar levels, among other potential benefits. The best part is that curry powder makes an excellent addition to a wide array of recipes. A Curry is often viewed as a treat but experts have confirmed it could be good for you, and help burn off calories.

Making the best Muffins…………..
When making Muffins if you put the batter into a warm oven, the muffins may not rise as beautifully. Stir all your dry ingredients together very well with a whisk. The idea is to distribute the leavening agents (baking powder or baking soda) evenly throughout the batter so that the muffins will achieve a lovely texture and a good rise.
Having eggs, butter, and milk at room temperature helps them form a smooth mixture that traps air and expands when heated in the oven. That expansion makes your muffins fluffy and light.

Oh those Cranberries………..
Many people consider cranberries to be a superfood due to their high nutrient and antioxidant content. In fact, research has linked the nutrients in cranberries to a lower risk of urinary tract infection (UTI), the prevention of certain types of cancer, improved immune function, and decreased blood pressure.
