Welcome Back!

Welcome Back

I am hoping to slowly bring back the blog...I am planning on posting weekly menu plans and recipes I am using weekly.  This will allow me to become accountable to my meal plan once again.  I also will share in season produce recipes. I have a thriving garden and am hoping to find recipes to use most of the produce this year. If anyone has any ideas for Kale---Please let me know.

My Thanksgiving Meal

This is what I will be serving this year for Thanksgiving.  I am planning a rather quiet holiday this year at home with my small family.   Our extended family is not able to travel to visit us this year, so I am planning the feast myself.  I have been stocking up for the past couple of weeks and my meal comes in under $50 for 4 of us.  I think that is wonderful.  The kiddos are busy planning a wonderful holiday play and I am awaiting Thanksgiving and am looking forward to a great holiday season.

Breakfast:
Homemade Cinnamon rolls

Lunch/Dinner

Turkey with old fashioned farm stuffing

Corn casserole

Pistachio pudding salad

Fresh rolls

Home made Orange cranberry sauce

Mashed potatoes and gravy

Lettuce salad
