I opened the fridge and looked at all those leftover food from Thanksgiving. Thinking “Nah, that is not the kind of food I want now, I need some real breakfast. I am making some pancakes. Yes, peanut butter pancakes.”
I grabbed some peanut butter from the cabinet, flour, egg, sugar, honey and butter. Starting my pancake preparation. About half an hour, breakfast was ready with a cup of hot coffee. Enjoy!

Every Thanksgiving we will prepare a lot of food and it is always impossible to finish all of them. There are always leftover food for the next couple of days, we will be eating the same thing over and over again, especially the big roasted turkey. So what will you do with the leftover turkey?
Instead of eating the same roasted turkey for the next day, you can actually prepare a new dish with the turkey meat. You can make a soup with the leftover turkey, adding some preferred vegetables as well as noodles. This will make a perfect noodle soup as all the turkey essence is preserved in the soup. Another way that we usually prepare is to make the turkey porridge, or congee. Having a hot bowl of porridge in the cold weather will definitely warm you up.

Apparently when I made the Sweet Potato Pie with Marshmallow Meringue, I have some of the sweet potato fillings remained. It would be a big waste to throw it away. So I’ve turned the fillings into a new sweet potato dessert in a smaller portion, which is a pretty nice size for individual serving.
The main thing for this recipe is the crusted pecan streusel toppings. I like it the way it is prepared because the toppings will create a golden brown sugary crust topping to complement the creamy sweet potato fillings. You can use this recipe for any kind of pie toppings as well, just substitute with other nuts or add some spices if preferred.
