It’s officially Thanksgiving week- where did November go?!- so it’s definitely time to start thinking about your Turkey Day meal and how you are going to use those leftovers if you haven’t already. Call me weird, but my favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal is cranberry sauce. I love it! Perfect mix of tart and sweet!
Unless I’m invited to your Thanksgiving, you may have some leftover cranberry sauce. That’s quite okay- you can use the leftovers in so many delicious recipes. My vote? This perfect day after Thanksgiving (or Friendsgiving) breakfast- Cranberry and Cottage Cheese Stuffed French Toast. This is a truly decadent breakfast that tastes almost more like a dessert. I used Hood’s Cottage Cheese with Strawberry for a little something extra sweet and it paired really well with the cranberry sauce.
What is your favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal? If you love cranberry like I do, keep reading for the recipe to make my Cranberry and Cottage Cheese Stuffed French Toast made with Hood Cottage Cheese with Strawberry.
