Turkey Carcass Soup

Turkey Carcass Soup  is the most flavorful turkey soup you will ever make.  Don't throw the carcass away. It's the star of this recipe!   HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF LEFTOVER TURKEY When making your Thanksgiving turkey keep in mind the delicious soup you can make from the turkey bones and the lingering meat left on the bones.  It is the best kept secret for leftover makeover recipes.

Pumpkin Recipes

Ten plus recipes made with pumpkin, canned, or fresh.  I have included cakes, cinnamon rolls, muffins, soups, and a recipe for the most delicious Honey Pumpkin Cornbread. Are you a fan of pumpkin recipes?  I can't wait for Pumpkin season.  It seems to come earlier and earlier every year. Even though some of the pumpkin products may be marketing ploys some people seem to welcome it back every year. Part of the hoopla is the warmth the fall season brings, mugs of apple cider and pumpkin bread, playing in the leaves, and wrapping up in cozy blankets.

Crusty Breaded Pork Chops with Caramelized Purple Onions

Crusty Breaded Pork Chops have a wonderful home-cooked flavor like the ones my Mom used to make. The breading makes them crispy outside and tender and juicy inside. My husband has been so hungry for Crusty Breaded Pork Chops  that I took a recipe that I generally make liver and onions by and used it this time for the pork chops.
