What Do You Do with Thanksgiving Leftovers? We Have Ideas-image

Thanksgiving will soon be a memory, and chances are you will have a lot of food leftover. Rather than reheating the leftover food for your next meal, the Liv Northgate Blog invites you to transform it into something new. Enjoy eating turkey pot pie, stuffed shells, potato casserole, and paninis in your Gilbert, Arizona apartment. Keep reading to learn more! Dad’s Leftover Turkey Pot Pie This is a great recipe that takes about 30 minutes to prepare. If you don’t know what to do with all that extra turkey, this is the perfect use for it. Read what one person commented in response to the recipe: “This was fantastic! So easy and quick to make. I used a bag of mixed veggies (corn, peas, carrots, green beans, lima beans) and everything else was per the recipe. Delicious. My whole family loved it and my Hubby ate seconds. Will definitely make this again!” Thanksgiving Leftovers Stuffed Shells If you’re more of a visual learner than a follower of a recipe, watch the tutorial video for this recipe at the above link. “Turn all your Thanksgiving leftovers into totally tempting comfort food with this mouthwatering stuffed shell recipe. Mix leftover turkey and stuffing with cream cheese, Parmesan cheese and mayo. Stuff this savory mix into jumbo pasta shells and top with gravy and mozzarella. Then just try to resist when it arrives hot from the oven, all bubbly, beautifully browned, tempting with meat, cheese and Thanksgiving goodness.” Turkey Potato Casserole For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients: one pound of cooked turkey meat, one onion, green beans, cheddar cheese, and one can of condensed cream of mushroom soup. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and then another 30 minutes to cook. “After a holiday meal half the work is done because you usually have the mashed potatoes and turkey. When I make it from scratch, I usually use chicken rather than turkey. Prep times are from leftovers.” Turkey and Bacon Panini with Chipotle Mayonnaise This sandwich is perfect for getting rid of a lot of leftovers. Did you know that you can make it vegetarian? Simple leave out the turkey and bacon for a lighter treat. What’s your favorite use of Thanksgiving leftovers? Let us know by leaving a comment. Thanks for reading!

Gratitude Scavenger Hunt-image

With great food, cool weather, and a gathering with friends and loved ones, there’s a lot to be thankful for this time of year. If you’re having a hard time thinking of things that you’re thankful for, then today’s blog post might help! We’re happy to invite you on a gratitude scavenger hunt. The great thing is you don’t even have to leave our Liv Northgate apartment community. Invite a few friends to join in the fun. If you’d like, you can even make your own gratitude scavenger hunt!  In this scavenger hunt, use a camera (either on your phone or another device) to capture the items. Gratitude Scavenger Hunt Rules:  Find scavenger items in any order. The object in each photo will only count toward one scavenger item. No two things can be the same for different gratitude items. If a similar subject is photographed, a new photo must be taken in its place. Once all 10 items are complete, meet back at the apartment. If you’re doing the hunt with friends, compare pictures. Technically, everyone can win in this game, so don’t worry. The point is to find things to be thankful for. If you’d like to add your own rules, feel free to do so! The Items: — Something that brings laughter — Something you can’t live without  — This has changed the world for the better — This represents Gilbert, AZ — Something that helps a lot of people — Something that makes life easier — Something that makes life harder — Something that can be used for multiple purposes — An item, image, person, or place that you love — Something that relates to a happy or funny memory   Take a moment to leave a comment about your experience with this gratitude scavenger hunt, or share a few things that you’re thankful for. Thanks for reading. Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving Stories to Listen To-image

Thanksgiving is coming. That means great food, company, and a short amount of time that is perfect for reflecting on experiences. In today’s post, we thought it would be fun to share a few Thanksgiving stories that are available for listening online for free. Invite friends and family from Liv Northgate or nearby Gilbert, Arizona friends to join you in your apartment for a fun evening of great and inspiring stories. For even more fun, invite everyone to prepare a story of their own. The first story in our list is An Old-Fashioned Thanksgiving by Louisa May Alcott, who lived from 1832 to 1888. Enjoy listening to a dramatic reading with more than ten different people performing as the characters. Here’s the synopsis: “When a neighbor brings word that Grandma is sick, Mr. and Mrs. Bassett hurry off to tend to her, leaving their seven children to prepare for Thanksgiving on their own. The story of the adventures of Eph, Tilly, Prue, Seth, Sol, Roxy, and Rhody Bassett as they go sledding, face bears, tell old stories, and wrestle with plum puddings is a holiday treat fit to make anyone stop and count their own blessings.” There are two chapters for this story, each running around 20 minutes in length. Just click the play button next to the chapter selection at the bottom of the screen to begin. The second story on our list is The First Thanksgiving by Margaret Pumphrey, 1912. Enjoy this 10-minute story, which is narrated by G. Barrett. If you’d like, you can download it as an MP3. Look to the right of the screen after clicking on the link to find download options. The last story you can listen to can be found on YouTube. You can either watch while you listen, or just listen to ‘Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving , a fun children’s book. Enjoy listening to this adaptation of the classic Christmas poem as it tells the story of eight boys and girls on a field trip to a turkey farm. Which Thanksgiving stories are your favorite? Share links to them in the comments below today’s post so we can all read or listen to them. Thanks for reading!
