I Love Leftovers!

One day away from Thanksgiving! Amazing food. Amazing company. And we can't forget the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade -- if that's a part of your family traditions. One thing that doesn't always bring smiles to the kids faces is leftovers! The same thing day after day! But no worries!! Today we want to share with you a recipe that has always brought excitement back to the table post-Thanksgiving.

We call this the Leftover Holiday Dish! Start by preheating your oven to 450 degrees. Next grab the leftover turkey, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes and of course, the dressing. Get a casserole pan, whatever size you want to fix, or that will fit and grease it. No, don't fret not much more to go. All you have to do is LAYER! First: the dressing! Second: the turkey! Third: the cranberry sauce! And Lastly: the mashed potatoes!!

Once that oven is telling you that it's heated up, put your dish in and let it sit for 35 minutes. Check it periodically towards the end of the time to make sure you've got the mashed potatoes browning on the top to your liking. Time's up!! Take it out let it set for ten to fifteen minutes, then eat!!

This dish has always been a family favorite because it incorporates everybody's favorite holiday dish! And let me tell you even if you don't like cranberry sauce, try it, because it sweetens up the entire casserole!

We hope everyone has a gracious and loving Thanksgiving and, please, if you try the Leftover Holiday Dish let us know how it suited your family's fancy!

20th Anniversary!

Kandy Kane Castle Year Round was not always year-round. KKCYR first started off as KKC – Kandy Kane Castle an annual holiday craft boutique.

Since then, the boutique has grown from eight crafters to as many as 65 crafters this year! Being that this year is our 20th, we are predicting it will be our most successful and fun boutique yet! With each year we have expanded the offerings with different homemade and handmade goods, and when you see the plethora of wonderful merchandise and food this year, you will see just what we mean. Kandy Kane Castle's 20th Annual Holiday Boutique is November 11, 12, and 13, then again November 18, 19 and 20, 10am to 5pm each day.

Behind the Crystal

Swarovski crystals are a big seller here at Kandy Kane Castle Year Round. Yes, it's a crystal, it looks very glamorous and can easily catch someone's eye. But we are constantly asked what IS a Swarovski crystal? Well, I'm glad you asked...

This all begins with Daniel Swarovski, born on October 24, 1862, in Georgentahl, Bohemia. Now wait, before you bring out your atlas. Bohemia was, then, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was there that Daniel Swarovski's father owned a factory that cut crystal. As he grew he stayed very close to his father's business, and gained interest in electricity and wanted to invent something that could cut crystals

perfectly! After attending school at the First Electrical Exhibition in Vienna, in "1892 Swarovski took out a patent on his automatic cutting machine."

Because of the 19th and 20th centuries being a time that crystals were extremely popular for formal evening attire this made Swarovski's beginning very successful. It was only up hill from there, for the Swarovski family.

Take a look for yourselves at Kandy Kane Castle Year Round. Go to our Quick Find option and type in "Swarovski" and you'll see what we're talking about. That was your history lesson for the day. Class dismissed!
