Thanksgiving is next week. Since I have to go shopping for that, I didn’t want to have to add a bunch of other foods for the column. I decided this week I would cook from the pantry and freezer and just see what I could come up with based on ingredients already on hand. This allowed me to not only clean out a little bit, but also saved a bit of money here around the holidays. Luckily, I always have a few things on hand for throwing meals together.
