Thanksgiving was four days ago–but is your fridge still full of turkey? This recipe, by Rachael Ray, is a fabulous way to use it up.

Tis the season! One of my favorite parts about the holidays is walking down my long driveway to the mailbox with the kids to find out what has arrived today! Receiving cards from friends and relatives is like a mini-gift for our family with each one that’s delivered. Of course getting it together each year to send my own always adds that little bit of stress, so Breezy Mama compiled a list of ideas to help you get a head start.
Bright Baroque — Aqua Photo Holiday Card
The pop-out star card above is a favorite! I instantly picture my own li’l twinklers in the photo. Even better — if you order 96 or more, the pricing gets down to $0.91 each! If that still scares you, skip the next two options for cheaper alternatives. Or…pssst… for you crafty types, Read More…

Throw in some grilled chicken, and you have yourselves a Read More…
