No cooking in our household today, just leftovers and more leftovers = yum! I really am still full! Yesterday was a great Thanksgiving spent visiting my family, previewing our wedding video, and me learning Catch the 5 or something like that;)
Recipes will come again Sunday. Right now, it's all about the leftovers, and shopping! I went back and forth all day about going out on "Black Friday" and finally about 3pm I did venture out - not bad at all, and the same sales as 5am! I ventured out again around 7:30 for some fake snow for our village, etc, and it was a little busier then, but still not bad. Maybe tomorrow I'll make it out before 3:00pm as I'm working on my shopping "plan" while watching Moonlight and Mistletoe:)
Enjoy the holiday season, everyone - take a minute to take it all in everyday:)

In a skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onion and celery; saute, stirring, until tender. Blend in the flour, salt, and pepper, stirring and cooking until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add chicken broth, stirring constantly. Add milk, stirring. Continue cooking, stirring, until mixture is thickened.

Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until topping is browned and filling is bubbly.

Others:
What my mom does is make a sandwich - turkey, meat dressing (recipe to come later today), and cranberry sauce, maybe even mashed potatoes i'm not sure, and eat it like that and loves it!
My husband shredded some turkey, mixed it with mayonnaise, salt, and pepper, and had a turkey salad sandwich:) He also, on a roll, made a sandwich of turkey, stuffing, meat dressing, and gravy, and heated it up:)
