The flavors of carrot cake are positively perfect together. Sweet and crunchy carrots, tender raisins, tangy cream cheese frosting—it’s a combo that shouldn’t work together, but absolutely does! I’ve been known to turn dessert flavors into healthy breakfasts (like I did with Healthy Carrot Cake Muffins and with Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Squares), so it should come as no surprise that I took a riff from my favorite springtime dessert and turned Carrot Cake into healthy overnight oats. Mixing up these oats is a great way to feel like you are getting a decadent dessert without actually eating a decadent dessert. Welcome to the magic that is overnight oats!

I have something to tell you guys and you aren't going to like it. But it's the truth and I think we have a relationship built on trust and honesty, so here goes... The fact is, in just a few days, you are going to be sick of Thanksgiving leftovers. I know. I know. Right now, that seems like an impossible outcome. It’s Thanksgiving week, and you are so excited for all things turkey and gravy, you can't even fathom not wanting that food. But I promise you, someday in the near future (Saturday? Sunday? Monday?), you are going to go to the fridge, stare in the face of that giant pile of slowly-dwindling leftovers and say, "Meeeehhhhhhh. I don't want another giant plate of carbs." And you'll remember this post and think, "Gee whizz, gosh golly! I wish I would have used some of those leftovers in that soup."

The idea behind this soup is to take the remnants from the Thanksgiving table and combine them seamlessly into a delicious, healthful turkey vegetable soup. To make the ideal next day soup, you have to go into the kitchen with an open mind. Have a big pile of roasted Brussels sprouts? In the pot! A leftover platter of steamed green beans? Perfect! A bunch of sweet potato casserole with marshmallows on top? Meh. Maybe not. Just use your best judgment. Or, if you are leftover-less, just make it using the frozen veggies I recommend in the recipe.

I’m a believer that it is never too early to start thinking about all the wonderful ways you’re going to repurpose your Turkey Day leftovers.

How about Turkey Pot Pie with Sweet Potato Biscuits or Turkey Vegetable Soup or Turkey Gnocchi Soup? Or, if you’re looking for a truly comforting, cozy meal that is packed with good-for-you-ness, then look no further than this Creamy Turkey Wild Rice Soup.

If you’re like me when it comes to dinners, the main course is easy, but the sides can be a bit of a struggle. I mean, you always know whether you’re in the mood for chicken or beef, but it can be a little trickier to figure out what you’re going to serve alongside it. That’s why I love honey-glazed carrots. It doesn’t matter what my main course is—these carrots work! They’re versatile, sweet, and super easy to make, freeing up my time to focus on the rest of the meal.
