Time to take care of those Thanksgiving leftovers. Let’s take a closer look at how we can make the most of leftovers and maybe even make some new dishes. Thanksgiving is one of the most food-focused holidays on our calendar! City-Base Vista is winning at Thanksgiving.
Fall & Thanksgiving Treats Even After the Holiday
Most people waste food during Thanksgiving celebrations; leftover turkey isn’t very appetizing after sitting out for hours. Leftover turkey can go bad quickly if not stored correctly, so this is one thing you’ll want to learn after the holidays. Additionally, there are always leftover side dishes like mashed potatoes and stuffing. Many people prepare for Thanksgiving dinner by baking pre-made dinner rolls. However, throwing these items into your food storage doesn’t do any good either. Excess food waste in your home is never good for the environment or your health.
Storing Your Leftovers
You can store your leftover Thanksgiving food in several large containers or plastic bags; just make sure to label each container clearly, so you know what’s where when you open them up again. You can also freeze some of your leftover turkey or stuffing later. Freezing food preserves it and makes it more easily digestible after thawing out. This way, you don’t have to worry about eating leftovers immediately. Instead, you can simply defrost some of your food and eat as many meals off of it as you like throughout January and February.
Enjoy Your Thanksgiving at City-Base Vista
Thanksgiving is a great time to connect with loved ones- but leftover food waste can be cumbersome if you don’t know how to store your leftovers after the holidays. Instead of storing excess food, store excess food storage containers in your home! That way, you’ll always have room in your fridge for leftover Thanksgiving food without starving or composting away materials that have no value. Be thankful and enjoy the holiday.
