Extreme Leftovers (Thanksgiving)

The remnants from the repast: mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, the carcass (it does look gruesome, after the fact), etc. can be used to squeeze out a few more meals if you are so inclined. (We chucked the carcass this year; last year I made a tasty soup...) The following links will give you some ideas, not all healthy ones.

Last-Minute Thanksgiving Side Dishes

I found some 'emergency' links for side dishes and thought they might be helpful to others on this day of thanks. Some are healthy, some are not...this is an emergency, after all. My lips are sealed. :-)
