Four Seasons Enchiladas
Nice and spicy use for leftover turkey in a form that even the children will enjoy. Quick, too! Great topped with black olives, green onions, and tomatoes! Leftover ham would also be excellent in this dish.
Frozen Vanilla Custard
This frozen custard recipe makes a rich and creamy, French-style ice cream with eggs, heavy cream, milk, and pure vanilla extract. Although traditionally served soft in cones, I prefer to freeze it until firm, then scoop it.
Instant Pot Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Spice Soup
This always reminds me of fall. It's a creamy, but dairy-free, squash and pumpkin soup with holiday spices. It also happens to be paleo, and without the honey it's Whole30 friendly too! I make this in my Instant Pot pressure cooker where I just leave it under pressure for 15 minutes, puree, and it's ready. If you don't have a pressure cooker, there are also directions for using a medium or large pot below. Garnish with roasted, salted pumpkin seeds.
