Thanksgiving night, dinner is the most hyped meal of the year. With endless amounts of food, from turkey to stuffing, to assorted veggies and soup, everyone holds off eating to enjoy as much of what's in front of them as possible. With a food coma always being the result, you probably wouldn't be thinking too much about your next meal. But that is a completely different case for me. The Thanksgiving dinner leftovers are by far my favorite. They last forever and the amount of different recipes for reheating everything is endless. Don't be boring this holiday season, here are ten fairly popular ideas for Thanksgiving leftovers!

In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city.
