Thanksgiving Menu 2012

This year we are headed to my in-laws for Thanksgiving day and then hosting my family at our home the weekend after. We're very fortunate to celebrate with both of our families and I'm sure y'all know I love having so many reasons to cook delicious meals! This is our first year hosting Thanksgiving and I'm really excited to prepare a meal for my family in our new home. What are your plans this holiday?

Each recipe should serve at least 8 people so cut them in half or pick and choose dishes to prepare depending on the size of your get together.

Typically the sales ads reset on Wednesdays each week. With Thanksgiving falling on Thursday, most ads will run through 11/22. The best deal I have seen on turkeys this week is at Food Lion for $.49/lb with additional $35 purchase. If anyone has seen a better one, please leave a comment and I'll update.

I want to let each and every one of you know that I'm so thankful to you for reading Coupon Kitchen! This little hobby of mine has come to be a big part of my life and it wouldn't be possible without all of your support. I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Lowes Foods Weekly Menu Nov 11-17

Fall squash is on sale this week for $.97/lb and you know I have to take full advantage!

A few tips:
1) Dice a whole butternut squash at one time and keep the leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
2) An easy (or should I say easier) way to cut butternut squash: Cut off both ends of the butternut squash. Lay one end flat on a cutting board and use a vegetable peeler to take skin off down the sides of squash. Cut the squash lengthwise and then slice into smaller sections.
3) The Spaghetti Squash Pie can be made with a meat substitute or with vegetables only.

The subtotal this week is $47.
