This week, I’m teaming up with some fellow food bloggers to share frugal pantry meals before Turkey Day. These recipes are easy, budget-friendly, and made with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. But I couldn't wait to share my Coffee Cake Muffin recipe with you! It's budget friendly and made with basic kitchen staples and I dare to say it's the BEST muffin I've ever had the pleasure of eating! I could totally eat this every.single.day for the rest of my life and be a happy camper!! Over dramatic? I think not! I just love great recipes so passionately, LOL! You know I'm extra excited when I use wayyy too many exclamation points!

Before we all dive into our Thanksgiving prep, here are some simple meals to help stretch your budget and save time this week! Warm up with a bowl of Easy Turkey Chili from The Kitchen Girl or cozy Creamy Tomato Soup from Love and Other Spices.
If you’re craving something hearty, try my Smoked Sausage and Potatoes or the Slow Cooker Rump Roast from Real Life of Lulu. Round it out with a quick Lemon Caper Pasta, and don’t forget dessert, Homemade Chocolate Cake Mix from Saving Dollars & Sense and a simple 3-Ingredient Pie Crust from Ginger Homemaking.

Before I go, don’t forget about my Baking Kits for Kids! They’re still available at the special introductory price, so it’s the perfect time to grab one for your little chef!

I'm working on getting up a couple final Thanksgiving recipes. I can't believe it's only 2 weeks until Turkey Day!! What have you all been cooking or baking? Reply back and let me know, I read all your emails!

Happy Cooking!
