Post # 204
I am retired and the money I live on comes once a month, therefore, if I am going to have money to cook Thanksgiving dinner I have to plan and save now. Usually I make a pretty simple version of Thanksgiving dinner:
turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, green salad, pink stuff*, sweet potatoes, dinner rolls, pumkin pie w/cool whip, apple slices w/apple dip*.
*pink stuff...my kids love this
mix 1 carton cool whip
1 small carton cottage cheese
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained
1 pkg strawberry jello, dump it in the bowl dry, not prepared
mix well and chill
*apple dip...beat together with a mixer one 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened and one 15 oz jar of marshmellow creme, enjoy with sliced apples!
Grocery prices have gone up so much here in Texas so I made a run through the grocery store today.
