I was looking for a new way to make green beans this Thanksgiving. After my cranberry sauce incident, I was a little worried my new green bean recipe (that I told you about in my turkey post) would be just as disappointing. Maybe I should just let green beans be green beans, I thought. But at this point, the recipe was already bookmarked, the ingredients already shopped for, and my family was already excited for my addition to the Thanksgiving meal. It was too late to change my mind, there was just no turning back..

If you still have turkey left over from the weekend, I’d like to recommend some recipes for dinner tonight (or tomorrow) to help you carve away at your stockpile of refrigerated poultry. Leftover cooked turkey is perfect soups, salads, sandwiches, wraps, you name it! So in other words, don’t let it go to waste.

I know what you’re thinking: why are we writing about cranberry sauce twice in a row? Well, for one thing:Â it’s Thanksgiving, but also, if you read on you’ll find out why this cranberry sauce post is different than the one below it. Maxine and I both decided to look for a new cranberry sauce for this year’s Thanksgiving, but my quest for a twist on this Thanksgiving staple had a very different ending.

Last night, I had an early Thanksgiving dinner with some of my family since not everyone will be in town on Thursday. My aunt made her famous smoked turkey, my dad took care of the sweet potatoes and I brought the cranberry sauce. I’d never made cranberry sauce before, so when I was browsing through recipes, I was shocked at how simple they were! Cranberries, sugar, water… that’s it! But I wanted MORE!

As a Recipe4Living editor, I receive a lot of emails with questions and tidbits about food and recipes and the like. The other day a woman sent me an e-mail about Beaujolais Nouveau with a little poem she wrote about this apparent wine. She touted: “This my little item about 2008 Beaujolais Nouveau. It’s funny, because I just met a group of people who had never heard of it - then, they thought they would have to buy a case if they had it ordered! Oh well, it takes all kinds, I suppose.”
Well, I have a confession to make: up until this e-mail, I had no idea what Beaujolais Nouveau was! In fact, I’m still not quite sure I’m clear on the concept but I am intrigued and I would totally be one to want to try a case of the stuff in spite of my lack of knowledge! So, I want to know: Am I alone in this? Did you know what Beaujolais Nouveau was and did you buy some this year?
Read on for an explanation of Beaujolais Nouveau.
