1. These recipes are VERY basic and not my "normal" style of recipes that a lot of you are used to. I just wanted to create a video showing that anyone can make a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner on a tight budget. 2. What we thought about how everything tasted. - We truly enjoyed this meal! And would be super happy to serve or be served this meal. The turkey breast filets were delicious marinated in the GV Italian dressing. Darren smoked them and I didn't get to film it. But you could cook them in any way. Grill, bake, pan fry, etc. Deviled eggs surprised me. I am very picky (usually) about our meat and eggs. I loved these! Could not tell a difference. Although I probably will still buy organic cage free eggs. Candied Yams, delish! I will use butter if I make them this way again, but they tasted great. Mashed Potatoes, Honestly...with the turkey gravy over them.-.we loved them! Green Bean Casserole - Tasted like the classic. Chocolate Pie - VERY sweet. Almost 2 sweet. I recommend using only 2-3 cubes of the baking chocolate if you do use it, or go for the Hersheys if you can! Biscuits - More dense and heavy, as compared to a light and fluffy biscuit. Still tasted great. ALL IN ALL - We give it a 9/10. We had plenty of leftovers also.

Jen, this was a wonderfully thoughtful and helpful gift to many right now. This is how my mamaw cooked for years while raising my mom, aunt and uncle on her own - she did the best she could with what she had and never once did her children do without. This is eye opening to many who may be blessed enough to not have or may never have had this worry and may lessen the worry of many who may be facing the holiday season with much less than they ever imagined. Sharing this video so hopefully others will see and share it, too. I love watching your videos, but this one is the best! Thanks, Jen. Sending love and best wishes to you and yours!

I bought my $20 Turkey yesterday, and recurved a $9 rebate for it today. They also have rebates for cranberries sauce, stuffing, frozen green beans, mashed potatoes, and Coca Cola. I just wanted to throw it out there to anyone who might benefit from it. Happy Thanksgiving!

Allow the eggs to boil for two minutes. At the two minute mark, turn the heat off... remove the pot from the heat and place the lid on top of the pot. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for a total of ten minutes. At the ten minute mark, drain the eggs and rinse with cool water. Peel and enjoy the perfectly cooked hard boiled egg. Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
