Menu Plan for the Week – Plus This Week’s Grocery Pictures

Here we are, beginning Thanksgiving week already! We’ll head to Kansas to spend time with family later this week, thus the abbreviated menu plan below. Since my side of the family won’t be together again at Christmas time, we’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas all in the same weekend.

Home-canned goodies make great gifts!

Here’s a picture of this week’s grocery store run. See that nine year old boy hiding behind the groceries? He was on sale, and I couldn’t resist.

We’ll be enjoying the special treat of Chex Mix over the holiday.

Our Amazon Subscribe and Save order came this week. I got such good deals – and they are all over my storage room. Not only have I not had time to put them away, it’s freezing in there! I’ll do it….later. ;)

My new Menu Planning Notebook is proving to be soooo much fun – and super helpful too. Do you have yours put together yet? As you can see, I shared my work space with cookie cutters. Malachi and I were getting cookies ready to take to Kansas. :)

      It’s different each month, based on what is on sale and what coupons I find. But here is a page where I’ve shared many of the good deals I took advantage of: https://www.heavenlyhomemakers.com/amazon-deals

    Well, our oven broke last week sk we had to cancel Thanksgiving dinner! Our local family does not have the space to host so we will spend the day at him being thankful for a working stovetop and a full day together with no responsibilities. Oh, and we might do some Christmas decorating. ???? Have a lovely Thanksgiving!

    We always head down to my husband’s side for Thanksgiving and as the resident baker I will be busy baking desserts to take down for 2 family meals.
    Pumpkin, apple and possibly cherry pie for Thanksgiving dinner and pumpkin bars, cranberry bars and fudge for the following day. Thankfully, my husband will be getting the kids out of the house so I can bake in peace.

    I just got an email today that my S&S order is on its way! Have a fun and safe trip celebrating with your family. We have so much to be thankful for, don’t we? This year, our church is getting together to share our Thanksgiving meal so that will be a fun change. Thanks for the pumpkin breakfast cake recipe – looks good!

    We will be joining my family and we just bring gluten free cranberry muffins and this year we will be making the pies gluten free and lactose free and regular ones. My mother said she would use the lactose free butte for the turkey gravy and stuffing. Half the family heads to the mountains weather prrmitting. It works fine for Thanksgiving. Only Holiday we do this for.
