Using Your Holiday Leftovers

Okay, so if you’re anything like my family, you have a ton of leftover food from the holidays, and not a clue what to do with it all. When I was in college, I fondly remember wrapping up as much as possible and bringing it back with me! This year, I’m determined to find a creative way to use the leftovers – they certainly aren’t going to waste. Here are some great recipes that call for ingredients you probably have taking up room in your refrigerator right now or staples you should have in your pantry if your relatives did indeed suck you dry. Try them out and let me know which is your favorite!
