I am so stuffed, I feel like a turkey!
Our Thanksgiving menu:
- Turkey (from the yard)
- Mashed potatoes, which were from *oh the horror* store bought potatoes. We had a horrible potato harvest this year, and Aldi had potatoes on sale: 10 lbs for $1.49, so I picked up a bag.
- Green beans from the garden
- Turkey gravy
- Rolls from scratch
- Sweet potato casserole, but I actually used squash instead of sweet potatoes.
- Stuffing, from a box. *sigh* I know, but my family loves that stuff, and it's easy...and cheap - .89 a box at Aldi.
- Pavlova
- Pumpkin pie, made with our own pumpkin.
I remember when I hated shopping for Thanksgiving dinner, since I'd spend so much and still need to shop for the rest of the week's groceries. This year, I bought potatoes, butter, stuffing, cool whip, strawberries, pecans, sugar and flour, so our total spent for Thanksgiving dinner was about $15.
Homesteading, gardening, and from-scratch baking are the things I am most thankful for this year. Oh, and of course that new washer and dryer. ;) What are you most thankful for?
