It\u2019s coming. The day when most of us with unite around a table laden with foods like turkey and ham and cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes. Green bean casserole. Sweet potato casserole. Mac and cheese<\/a>. Soft, warm rolls. All those side dishes. And all those Thanksgiving leftovers. <\/span>Ahh.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

But when the face-stuffing is done, there will be leftovers. And you will have food fatigue. <\/span><\/p>\n

What am I supposed to do with all of these leftovers?! <\/span><\/i>you\u2019ll think. <\/span>I can\u2019t eat the same meal for five days straight! <\/span><\/i>And you don\u2019t have to.

Before we dig into these creative solutions for your Thanksgiving leftovers and tips for storing them, I just want to acknowledge the elephant in the room, so to speak: Thanksgiving, for many of us, brings up conflicting emotions. Its grand intentions are admirable: we should all practice gratitude and eat delicious food with people we love on a regular basis. But for some, coming together with extended or even immediate family can be impossible, painful, and\/or traumatic. I want to acknowledge and send some love out to those people. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thanksgiving is also a painful reminder that the United States, as a country, is built on stolen land. I\u2019m going to write a fun recipe roundup, but I can\u2019t leave out the fact that Indigenous Americans have historically been and continue to be oppressed and ignored in this country. It\u2019s important to remember the true history of Thanksgiving as we enjoy our feasts and transform the leftovers into entirely new dishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
