| These turkeys made it, they live in the nature preserve! |
I hope everyone had a great holiday!
Here are the ways I saved time and money this week:
In order to get things done for Thanksgiving day I made some of the dressing ingredients on Monday and Tuesday. For instance, I made plenty of biscuits on Monday to go with our breakfast meal. While the husband was peeling the apples I also had him peel enough potatoes for Thanksgiving Day mashed potatoes. We covered them with water in a covered Tupperware style bowl and stored them in the fridge. Tuesday I made extra cornbread.
We had planned pork chop leftovers on Wednesday which left me enough time to make the desserts. I used the pie crusts that I had frozen ahead of time.
I turned the turkey upside down and it was the best turkey we have ever had! Thanks for all your suggestions and encouragement. I will be making it like this from now on.
I used my sage that I grew this summer in my herb garden in my cornbread dressing. Somehow that made it taste even better!
I answered the survey on our Kroger receipt for more fuel points.
I bought two turkeys at .59 cents a pound at Kroger for later use.
I decorated the grand baby's birthday cake. Here she is making a funny face. She wanted to stay warm and we couldn't get her out of her sleeper! Mom dressed her up the next day.
