Carmel Apple Salad

5 granny smith apples (I usually add more like 7 or 8)
5 snickers bars
1 box vanilla pudding
1 cup milk
1 tub cool whip

Every time I make this it is a hit, but make sure you label it if you take it to a gathering, because it looks a lot like potato salad! (that's not a bad thing, but it is surprising to get apple if you're expecting potato.)

Turkey Stock

• I put as much of the carcass as I could fit in my pot.
• I added:
• 1 onion
• 2 carrots
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 celery rib
• drippings from the turkey
  
• thyme, bay leaves
• enough water to cover everything
  
• Brought to a slow boil and skimmed foam off of top.
• Simmered for 2-3 hours
• Strained the liquid from the contents of the pot.
• Stock can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week, or frozen to use up to 3 months.

Turkey Soup

• 2-3 Quarts broth (1 quart=4 cups)
  
• 3 cups cooked turkey
• 1 chopped onion
• 1 chopped carrot
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 1 cup brown rice
• 1 TBL chicken bouillon
• salt
• pepper

Combine all ingredients together in pot and boil until rice and vegetables are tender, about 30-40 minutes.

Roasted Chickpeas

• 1 can (15.5 oz.) Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
• 1 jalapeno pepper
• Olive Oil
• Salt
• Pepper
• Baking Sheet

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rinse entire can of chickpeas and towel dry. In a bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil (eyeball it), 1 chopped jalapeno pepper (more depending on your spice tolerance), and generous amounts of sea salt and fresh black pepper. Spread out on a baking sheet covered with tin foil. Bake the chickpeas for about 20-25 min. You'll hear them crackling and popping and get a sense as to when they're finished when they start to brown up. Enjoy!

White Sauce

2 Tablespoons Nucoa
2 Tablespoons Flour
1 Cup almond milk

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and stir until the butter and flour are well combined. Pour in milk, stirring constantly as it thickens. Add more milk depending on desired consistency.
