Shepherd's Pie is one of my husband's favorites. I'll be sharing this one over at Sissy's recipe blog after I make it next week. I'll also share my favorite Chicken Pot Pie recipe, but we'll be using leftover turkey.
Some other things to work on this week:
1. Make up some Pumpkin Oatmeal with Cardamom* (here's the link). I'm sharing my version of this recipe tomorrow. Here's a sneak peek.
Doesn't it look delicious?!?! It's so good, healthy and easy to make ahead to eat for the rest of the week.
2. Bake up Turkey Croquettes and freeze them for next week. This should take care of the last of the leftover roasted turkey. I'm going to bake these to reduce the calories. I made some Salmon Cakes, which are very similar to this recipe. The first time I made those, I followed the recipe and pan-fried them. The second time, I baked them in the oven and they were perfect. So I'm going to try this approach with the Turkey Croquettes. Hopefully it won't backfire.
3. Bake up some Low Fat Blueberry Muffins (Krusteaz, free at Kroger a few weeks ago). The kids need some yummy snacks. Nevermind, I just found some Lemon Poppy Seed muffins in the freezer. We'll eat on those first :)
Hope you have a great and tasty week!
Enjoy!

The pumpkin oatmeal sounds intriguing, I cant wait to see the recipe. I also haven't made chocolate peanut butter smoothies in awhile, thanks for the reminder. :)
I don't like oatmeal, but this one sounds GREAT, what a creative idea!!
The turkey cranberry wreath is so pretty and sounds delicous.
Thanks for sharing your ideas!!
