Can I Make a $20 Walmart Thanksgiving TASTE GOOD?🤔

[@raisingwildflowers]

What is YOUR favorite Thanksgiving dish? (Or favorite autumn dish if you don’t celebrate American Thanksgiving 😊).

[@jenniferlisow2901]

My favorite Thanksgiving dish is sweet potato casserole. It's basically a dessert but we serve it as a side dish. It's so delicious, especially when served with baked apples. They taste great together.

[@Amethyst2768]

I'm split between green bean casserole and sweet potatoe casserole

[@HolyokeHomesteader]

I love my mom’s recipe for pumpkin pie, I don’t like pie crust, so I skip making it.

[@Tcosby]

Dressing (not stuffing)… not a turkey fan so am fine if we don’t cook one lol. Oh & deviled eggs !!! Your meal looks awesome & im sure it was very good ! Happy Thanksgiving!!!

[@rangersbaseball8956]

I think my favorite dishes are green bean casserole cranberry sauce and pecan pie

[@ritaculp578]

My mom, who is in heaven, would always tell me, "You are peeling the potatoes away!" I miss her so much! Your meal looked lovely, Katie ❤

[@JM.5387]

I may have said this before, but I love how you do plant-based meals without being dogmatic about it. It's so refreshing.

[@raisingwildflowers]

Thanks! I know we are all just doing our best to keep ourselves fed and healthy ❤️

[@busybaldaufs896]

Your husband is so sweet talking about his grandma. Mine was the same way. She would peel potatoes with a knife, towards her own body without sticking herself, and would have at least 5 potatoes peeled while I was still working on my first.💜🌵

[@mariamendoza5859]

I do that too. It is better with my arthritis

[@rangersbaseball8956]

You did a fantastic job cooking that meal everything looks delicious

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

looks good. I do a stuffed baked sweet potatoe. Stuffed with sauteed cannellini beans, garlic, sundried tomatoes, onions and balsmaic. side dishes sauteed oinions and sauerkraut, steamed broccoli, crockpot apples and homemade cranberry sauce made with date paste instead of sugar. I hope that give someone some ideas. Everyones dietary needs are different so make it your own. My meal is also very budget friendly🌻

[@jillgott6567]

I will have to look into making Stuffed Sweet Potato for a regular meal. Sounds delicious thanks for mentioning it.

[@ingriddavis1201]

You guys have the cutest relationship!! Never lose that sparkle & respect xx

[@thehomespunwife]

I enjoy watching you cook from scratch! Your meal looked delicious and the marshmallows on your sweet potatoes were perfectly broiled for my taste! Thanks for sharing your budget Thanksgiving meal.

[@FreakkyBananaPt_2]

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your videos you are teaching people so many things how to live very well with a budget how to take care of a family in the process how to teach your children to become responsible as they grow up I love the way you cook I have to try that lentil loaf I m very glad that you found a partner in life that shares your values you don’t have to have a 9 to 5 job to make a good life for your family

[@myeshiaunderwood9078]

Lentil loaf is always a hit! Everything looks delicious! The marshmallows are just the way I like them!

[@barnrazedbyjesse6893]

Yes, agree! Sweet potato casserole is dessert. Particularly if it has a pecan praline topping. Delicious!

[@raisingwildflowers]

Yum! That sounds delicious

[@ashleybosvik3031]

I use whole chicken instead of turkey because it's cheaper for me

[@oxfordcreekfarm]

White sugar plus molasses in a blender makes brown sugar. Might be cheaper.

[@jillgott6567]

Exactly what I was going to write when I saw your comment

[@weaverwagon6084]

Wow! Your meal looked so delicious. It was fun to hear commentary from your honey and to see your big smile as you brought your meals to the table. Thank you for sharing your recipes!

[@NoOneUKnow-c3y]

Dinner looked delicious. Thanks for another great video, see you on the next one. Have a blessed day.

[@divineinfinitelove]

Your cooking is so calming. You have inspired me to cook more intentionally and from scratch. Thank you so much for letting your light shine!💛✨

[@sallyapplegate4591]

What a delicious meal!!!!! I want to try the lentil loaf!!!😊

[@raisingwildflowers]

You need to! When it’s not Thanksgiving, our favorite sides with the lentil loaf are mashed potatoes and peas 😋 Definitely a family favorite!!

[@HolyokeHomesteader]

I really enjoyed this video! You and your husband are just the cutest couple! Thank you for making this video, it helps me a lot!😊 I’ll be making the cranberry sauce, the sweet potato dish for Thanksgiving. I don’t want a huge spread, or all the leftovers! Keeping it small this year. I’m going to make your Lintel loaf, but I’m going to tweak it and use the same ingredients, as my Great Aunties meat loaf, I only make her recipe for meat loaf, but I haven’t made in a long time cuz I’m plant based, but now I can! 🌻🤎🌻🤎🌻🤎

[@raisingwildflowers]

That is a great idea to season the loaf like your granny’s! ❤️ I loved cooking this smaller meal over the huge meal we usually do … it was the perfect amount and I didn’t have to try and fit SO MANY leftovers in the fridge 😂 It just made things so much more enjoyable!

[@PaulaFlatt-vt1pz]

I think it’s like pumpkin pie. So yes it can be like a dessert. I also love all Thanksgiving foods.

[@Grigio4526]

Frozen turkeys are 49 cents a pound at publix this week! Got a 20 pounder for 10 bucks! I'm in florida so ads may vary by area!

[@chantal3172]

Looks great. I did my budget for Thanksgiving and we came under 25.00 that is in Canada. We manage to get everything on sale including our turkey. The turkey was the most expensive at 12.00 but once we made the meals we had leftovers for three days and more in the freezer to use later. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@ireneroy8820]

Same for me… love the Turkey leftovers

[@fayepruitt8509]

It all looks delicious! I'm going to try some of your recipes.

[@bdelightful12]

What a beautiful meal ❤ thanks for sharing. I will definetly be trying the lentil loaf. We usually get those plant based roasts from gardein or whole foods but they are so pricey

[@raisingwildflowers]

Lentil loaf is so much better! We’ve tried those too and they are ok, but lentil loaf is AMAZING!

[@bjrudder8538]

You can make your own brown sugar with white sugar and molasses. It is so easy and very tasty.

[@GrannyLinn]

Great teamwork!

[@donna-keithsmith3925]

Lovely dinner, might just do the lentil loaf for Thanksgiving for us thank you, great idea! I'm mindful of the jet puffed marshmallows with gelatin, I've recently given the vegan Dandies brand a try and thought they were pretty darn good. They are expensive but they'll last me a year at least. We've been vegan a while now and have now gone back to vegetarian (darn cheese), I'm hoping to get myself back on track and eating better. I really enjoy your down to earth approach to life, thank you for all the hard work you put in on your channel! Favorite dish is roasted potatoes!

[@JM.5387]

Trader Joes has vegan marshmallows that are not outrageously expensive.

[@Elsa_318]

Mmmm😋 look delicious 🤤 Love lentils, I might try the lentil-loaf🤗 Have a great Thanksgiving! Thank you for sharing! Blessings 💜💜💜

[@toniannicolari5991]

You did a fantastic job!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family!!!

[@tessramos8828]

Hi Katie n Family 🌻 We all look forward to our traditional Thanksgiving dinner. . Particularly green bean casserole and sweetheart salad 💖

[@immanuelwithsu]

Everything looks delicious!!!

[@iriswelch3553]

What a wonderful meal. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@DollyJohanne]

We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in Norway, but everything looked delicious, especially the sweet potatoes marshmallows dish 😋🥰 Thanks for sharing, and again so great and relaxing music in this video 😊 Love from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴

[@raisingwildflowers]

Thank you! 😊

[@reader7788]

When my family makes mashed potatoes, no dairy is used. When we boil the potatoes it is done in broth and then the leftover broth is used as the liquid. Tastes amazing.

[@msfranklin1550]

Looks delicious. Great prices on the groceries, they would be almost double here In Ontario Canada. Enjoy your dinner!

[@carolsmith2699]

Yummy Thanksgiving! My family loves sweet potato casserole, too. I find it difficult to peel and cut them, I bake them so the skin just falls away. I don't lose any of the potato that way. My family would say your marshmallows were perfect since they like the crunch. Thanks for sharing your recipes!

[@lamamireyesjanetramirez5909]

Everything looks so good I'm going to try and make that lentil loaf

[@SuGilstrap]

I always get a free turkey for spending a certain amount. Also they go on sale for like 50-80 cents a pound so I usually get another for the freezer. Thanksgiving is a great time to stock up on turkey!

[@Amethyst2768]

The food looks delicious, I hadn't thought about making meat loaf which would be great since I don't like turkey. All great ideas for Thanksgiving especially I love the not spending all day in the kitchen part.

[@JM.5387]

We usually make seitan pot pie for Thanksgiving. Since you taught us how to make seitan in a previous video, I'll use homemade seitan. Can be made with a top crust, with biscuits, or just seitan and veg in gravy (serve over mashed potatoes if desired). We also make roasted root veg, roasted Brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce, corn bread, and pumpkin pie.

[@raisingwildflowers]

That sounds delicious!!

[@carolinehaavaag-jrgensen1423]

Thank you for sharing ❤

[@sdoncam5491]

I don’t have a lot of oven space, so I make my stuffing and then I mix up my green bean casserole and put it on top of the stuffing. I bake it all and add the fried onion topping in the last 5 minutes. It is my family’s favorite side on holidays

[@sdoncam5491]

Also I do my month shopping so I get my free turkey for spending $100

[@nt6719]

It looks yummy. I like the idea of lentil loaf. Favorite dish that has been served as I was growing up was pecan pie. If you're asking about non-dessert dishes it would turkey, cranberries, and the stuffing.

[@maeganblanchard8542]

Love the Grandma potato story ❤

[@ingridkunze5458]

Bravo! 👏 Looks delicious.

[@teeadvocate]

Love this meal,gonna copy & add mushroom gravy.❤

[@kathypants123]

To make brown sugar, just add a small amount of molasses to sugar.

[@megb7491]

I had people helping with dinner one year and my favourite potato peeling knife must have been thrown out !! Saddest day of my life and I've never found another one I like as much !! :(. One of our must have side dishes is mashed rutabaga layered with sliced apples and topped with a crumble. Delicious. Happy Thanksgiving. :)

[@mwahl1686]

Meg - is anything more than butter added to the mashed rutabaga? Thanks if you see this and are wiling to share!

[@megb7491]

@@mwahl1686Hi there....just butter and salt and pepper. But the apples I toss with brown sugar and cinnamon. Then the crumble topping is butter, brown sugar ,flour and cinnamon. I never use measurements! I just know that everybody loves it with any roast dinner. My Mum made it for years too. :)

[@PaulaFlatt-vt1pz]

I think it’s like pumpkin pie. So yes it can be like a dessert.

[@deborahhealey9275]

I make my own brown sugar with reg sugar and mix in a little molasses.. Much cheaper. All looks good!

[@amydecker6207]

Asher talking about his granny being a speed peeler cracked me up 😂

[@raisingwildflowers]

❤️ She is just as funny as he is 😂

[@karenmbbaxter]

And just remember that any celebration is about spending time together and U don't need traditional foods......E.G. In Australia at Xmas we don't really want to cook or eat a massive turkey so we buy a whole lot of roteseriie chickens..

Maybe lentil loaf with stuffing baked together. Maybe. Nobody in my family likes lentils.

Walmart right after opening and an hour or so before closing tends to be very quiet. In my experience as both a customer and a former associate.

[@lindaorozco4595]

My favorite is stuffing with cranberry

[@raisingwildflowers]

I love that combo too ❤️

[@Crystal-i7n]

Love the idea of no turkey Thanksgiving. Our family is having fish and rotisserie chicken. For sides we are having roasted squash, fruit crisp, seasoned cabbage, nuts and fresh fruits.

[@kathymccune2679]

My favorite is my sister's Spinach Madeline and pecan pie! I do love sweet potatoes also.

Hi Katie 🌻 I have a sensitivity to MSG as well. . Unfortunately it seems to be in more foods lately 😢

It is! If I get a migraine, I can almost always trace it back to MSG I didn’t know about 😑

You know monosodium glutamate occurs naturally in foods, right?

@@jadadallas5891 MSG does not occur naturally in food. It is the synthetic version of glutamic acid.

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Looks so good. Mine would be Pumkin pie, or pecan pie.

Sometimes I turned the cresent rolls over half way through so they'll brown more evenly. Don't know why they brown so quickly on the bottom, I don't have that problem with yeast rolls or biscuits.

[@cherylhowker1792]

As always I’m shocked at what you can make for your money. It just shows that all that basically cost $30 if you had nothing at home. And man the amount of food you have on the table is great. Our prices in the uk are just going mad. I don’t think we could do it at that price or equivalent to the £. Even the turkey was well cheap. Ours are double that I’d say- I personally don’t buy it mum does but I’m aware she says atm meat is expensive but my dads a meat and 2 veg man with every meal. He can be a pain but she loves him so I do lol. Well done.

[@lindamedeiros4618]

Love the video. I find Thanksgiving one of the cheapest meals to cook. Turkeys near me are $.47/lb. That’s cheap protein. Walmart and Aldi do not have cheap turkeys. Expensive stores have them as lose-leaders. Buy the turkey at the expense store or one that matches prices.

[@raisingwildflowers]

Excellent advice! Thanks so much for sharing 😊

[@sallyapplegate4591]

Just got a 13lb turkey for .47lb. $6.41 at nob hill. I was so happy!!!

I'm Sorry, but a Lentil Loaf for Thanksgiving sounds "Dreadful"!! I'm sure you could put aside a little extra money several months before Thanksgiving to afford a small Turkey. Even a Roasted Chicken would be good. I've had to Scrimp and Save many times in my life too, but this "Loaf Thing" is Ridiculouse!!

😂 Put your listening ears on👂 That would be a dreadful waste of money for us since most people in my family don’t even eat meat. Besides, lentil loaf is amazing 🤫
