Leftover Turkey Skillet Shepherd's Pie and a holiday Giveaway!

If your household is swimming in turkey and mashed potatoes leftovers, here's an easy meal to prepare with what remains of Thanksgiving dinner.


Make it and bake it right in the skillet, doesn't get much easier than that! Find my recipe here on PBS Food.


And with Thanksgiving behind us and December just around the corner, I've got a wonderful giveaway for you, generously provided by the lovely folks at Nature's Path. This giveaway features Nature's Path Feel Good Holiday Gift Box which includes $50-worth of goodies including their amazing Love Crunch Gingerbread Granola, their super addictive Chia Coconut Granola, and tons more yummies that will bring some tasty and healthy holiday cheer to your kitchen table. 



PLUS, in this lovely gift box, you'll find everything you need to create these 3 super duper DIY edible holiday gifts (click on the links for the recipes):

Chocolate Gingerbread Crunch Cookies-Mason Jar Cookie Mix: Give someone the gift of a beautiful, ready to mix cookie recipe, all in a mason jar. 

Sweet Popcorn Seasoning Pack: If you’re looking for an easy-to-make, but always well-received gift, these popcorn seasoning jars are perfect.

Gingerbread Crunch Brittle: The most heart-felt gifts are homemade. In just 20 minutes, this brittle recipe can be made and put aside for either snacking or giving to loved-ones. Add a little ribbon to a mason jar and give out to your party guests. 


Nature's Path is a family-owned business that is certified organic as well as non-GMO verified. I love their products and this is a giveaway I'm proud to host! As an aside, when food companies approach me to host giveaways or endorse their products, I always do a quick bit of research on them and usually I say no, because so many food manufacturers out there, even the so called "natural" ones are actually owned by bigger corporations whose food philosophies I don't wish to support. For instance, Annie's is now owned by General Mills, Kashi is owned by Kellogg's (which has been donating lots of money against GMO labelling initiatives in various states, paying for misleading ads to scare people into thinking food prices will skyrocket if GMOs are labeled (which has been shown to be false). In the world we live in, it's really hard to find truly sustainable food products made by companies who actually stand by their values. Nature's Path is one such company. So I hope you'll enjoy this fun giveaway, you can enter right here:

  4. I love Nature's Path products! Their Pumpkin Granola is one of my husband's favorites! They are one of the few companies left that are still independently owned. I no longer support those companies who have been bought out by the big conglomerates. It is SO important to vote with not only our consciousness but also our dollars. I am grateful for this opportunity!
