Let's be honest, Iowa. By the Sunday after Thanksgiving, the leftovers are getting to be a drag. Though I'm no chef, I am an expert in food consumption. Here are a couple of helpful hints to make those leftovers desirable.

1. Freeze side dishes for later treats such as creamed-corn Popsicles.

2. Deep fry the remaining cranberry sauce.

3. Put a dollop of whipped cream atop those cold green beans.

4. Wrap everything in bacon.

5. Two words: Gravy smoothie.
