Thanksgiving might be over, but the holiday season is in full swing and everyone is in search of unique recipes to reuse their leftovers from their holiday feast.  Lucky for us, the folks at Oroweat have developed the ultimate Holiday Leftover Sandwich, complete with turkey, herbed goat cheese, cranberry, butternut squash and turkey bacon.  Is your mouth watering yet?!

Makes 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

2 cups butternut squash, cut into ½ inch cubes

2 tbsp olive oil

2 Oroweat Multigrain Sandwich Thins® Rolls

1 cup turkey, roughly cut or sliced

2 tbsp cranberry jam

4 slices of turkey bacon, prepared according to package directions

4 tbsp herbed goat cheese

Salt

Directions

  1. Prepare the butternut squash: Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Add butternut squash cubes to a tinfoil lined baking sheet and toss with olive oil and a few pinches of salt. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until each cube is tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat, add to a medium sized bowl, and mash using the back of a fork. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the sandwich: Add half of the butternut squash mixture to the bottom of both halves of the 2 Oroweat Multigrain Sandwich Thins® Rolls. Top each one with half of the turkey, half of the cranberry jam, and half of the turkey bacon. Smear 2 tbsp of the herbed goat cheese onto each top half of the 2 Oroweat Multigrain Sandwich Thins® Rolls and place on top of the sandwich before serving.

Caesars Entertainment Unveils Stunning Transformation with the Grand Opening of Caesars New Orleans

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
