Black Friday came a little early around here….
And I do not mean the shopping……. I mean the leftovers!
Remember the Saucy Cranberry Chicken?
Yeah, I stuffed it into some puff pastry dough with lots of yummy cheese! Then baked them till they were flakey and perfect!
Blue Cheese!
I used the chicken and cranberry sauce from the Saucy Cranberry Chicken, but leftover turkey and cranberry sauce from your Thanksgiving meal will work just as well! It is the perfect way to use up those Thanksgiving leftovers!
It is a combination of sweet and savory cranberry sauce, meat and cheese and it is amazing! The blue cheese works surprising well with the cranberries, and the spinach adds color and flavor! It is the perfect easy meal after a long day of shopping, cleaning, or digesting!
Here is this weak’s meal plan. We had a few unplanned dinners last week so there are some are roll overs.
