Don’t we all love thanksgiving leftovers? For one, no cooking and two its a comforting meal. But I must admit, after having the same meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day I do get a bit tired of it on day 2 of leftovers. You can either freeze those leftovers or put them to use!

I’ve been using pumpkin spice A LOT lately. Perfect excuse, because it’s fall. I had some leftover chicken and decided to make loaded pumpkin spice sweet potatoes. This meal is perfect to make with leftover thanksgiving turkey. I will definitely be making this again with turkey! Loaded sweet potatoes with everything fall. What else could you ask for? I only had a bit of chicken leftover and so I made my husband the one with chicken and I had the meatless one. They boys had resorted to russet potatoes. Honestly, I choose sweet potatoes over regular potatoes. Anything sweet is a YES.

Do you have a favorite side dish for Thanksgiving? I really love all my sides but my ultimate favorite is sautéed brussels sprouts and carrots with bacon. It is a must for Thanksgiving. It’s full of fall colors and tastes amazing. Brussels sprouts and carrots with bacon is perfect, since there are so many dishes to already make. You don’t have to worry about using multiple pans. I love roasted vegetables but this is one of the few vegetable dishes I like to sauté.

November first is here. Time to start preparing for Thanksgiving. It will be here before you know it. Normally this time of year we are wondering what to make for dinner, who will host or if your are visiting family. Then of course you have to figure out if you are bringing a dish. Of course, this year will be a lot different than other years, due to social distancing. However, there is still a meal to prepare at home! More than ever, we need to be thankful for everything we have. Things may get worse but we have to be positive and be grateful.

This a perfect time to make an organizer basket. The holidays are just around the corner. With so many online orders we get all types of boxes and so many different sizes. Once I start ordering gifts, even more boxes will be delivered to my doorstep. Some boxes are super cute in size and some are super large. From time to time I like to save them and recreate decor storage bins. I must admit I love decorative storage bins! A few years ago I made this DYI organizer basket made with jute. I am going to show you. It was super easy and lots of fun.
