Ah the last #Tuesdaytip for November and Thanksgiving just passed. I don’t have much in terms of tips on this one but if you are like us, you make a ton of food and end up having a lot of leftovers right? Having the same can get boring, which I hear from Matthew constantly. So we decided to do a challenge on this one. We aimed to change up one meal using the same ingredients from our thanksgiving dinner but enjoy it in a new way. Besides out Monte Cristo sandwich, we wanted to bring you more ideas to enjoy your leftover dinner.

This year, why not try something different?” – Lyne
