Two Week Thanksgiving Countdown Plus Recipe

Yes. It’s just two weeks from tomorrow, folks!

Last week I shared with you the $5 Dinner Mom’s new Holiday ebook. This week our turkey is in the freezer. We saved $11 by following a tip in Erin’s Holiday Entertaining Guide. We bought our turkey on sale – at just 79 cents a pound! I have had such fun with the easy holiday ideas from $5 Dinner Mom. And, with Erin’s permission – and just to whet your appetite – I am sharing a Cranberry and Celery Stuffing recipe from her book. (The side items really are my favorite!)

A burst of sweet-tart and crunch make for a wonderful addition to the traditional stuffing mix.
