From the Kitchen

Posted by Alicia Overby on 20th Nov 2018

Today, as any other day, I have spent a fair amount of my time in the kitchen. Today, however, was a bit different. Because you see, I am an emotional eater...which also means I am an emotional cook/baker/entertainer. I like to do these things to soothe myself...and by golly it works wouldn't ya know!


Massive pot I know...but for the massive turkey carcass I had, this pot was the one for the job!




One of my favorite parts of thanksgiving or any other large meal day for that matter, is the leftover part. Not eating them. Cooking with them. I always am thinking to myself "what can I make with that?". Hopefully something really gourmet and wonderful comes to mind, but usually comfort food is where I go. And with a turkey....it's all comfort. For with this stock I will make Turkey & Vegetable soup, Turkey Pot Pies, Turkey & Stuffing Quiche (this is a new one...I'll let you know what Scott thinks!) and hopefully some turkey left for Turkey & Wild Rice soup!

And...what? What's that in the corner of the shot you ask? Well...come on a girl can't go hungry while cooking can she? And I mean...we were talking comfort foods right? Yea yea yea...they're double stuff Oreo's all right...a fellow blogger was speaking of them the other day and I have had "oreo" brain ever since! I know...I am pathetic! This is why I run!

And well..along with that I was having another little snack!

Can you guess what it was?

infant support pillow

Written by Alicia Overby - Founder & President of Baby Elephant Ears

Alicia is wife, mother, and creator of Baby Elephant Ears. Baby Elephant Ears was created out of parental concern, not financial desire. In 2005, when their second child was an infant, he cried all the time and just couldn't seem to get comfortable.

After seeking advice and suggestion from the medical community and alternative medicine, they eventually ended up in the chiropractors office where their baby was successfully treated for a subluxation, discomfort most likely the result of the strain during labor, which was now being exacerbated by the normal lack of infant neck strength. Only proper neck, head, and back alignment would offer him relief. When they couldn't find a product to give their baby the necessary support, Alicia took matters into her own hands and crafted her own infant support pillow. The first Baby Elephant Ears was born!
