Christmas Dinner Leftovers

I hope your Christmas was wonderful! We had a very special time with our family. It was sweet to be together and celebrate the birth of our Savior. We enjoyed a delicious lasagna dinner at my sister's on Christmas Eve, a special breakfast Christmas morning prepared by my daughter-in-law, and we had a great meal Christmas evening with all of my husband's family.
We served country ham, a Kentucky favorite, as well as turkey. If you happen to have turkey and ham leftovers and need an idea for how to use them, I thought I would share a favorite dish of our family's--Kentucky Hot Browns. If you've never had a hot brown, you're in for a treat. The recipe originated from the Brown's Hotel in Louisville. There are many varieties of the hot brown but most include toast, turkey, tomato, cheese sauce and bacon. It's not a low-fat dish but the diets don't start for a few days which gives you enough time to do something creative with those leftovers! Enjoy!

Best-Ever Apple Pie--Really!

You just can't beat a good ol' American apple pie for a great dessert. This recipe was featured in the September 2008 issue of Southern Living. It has five pounds of apples in it!! The picture above is the picture of the pie I made. It was so good! As you read the recipe, you will notice that the crust is a little different--it has cornmeal in it. It also uses apple juice as the wetting agent. The trick is rolling the top crust out large enough to cover that mound of apples. If you love apple pie, try this one. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
