Hispanic Heritage is a month to celebrate family traditions, customs, fiestas and much more. It also means enjoying delicious food!

Some of us have homework and others have work, but that doesn't mean we can't have a home-cooked holiday dinner away from home or that we have to spend $30 on a turkey alone. I made it my mission to prepare a savory Thanksgiving dinner without spending Thanksgiving money. I made my way to Stater Brothers with only $20 in my pocket and went straight to the meat aisle. I found a ready-to-heat, honey cured boneless ham for about $11. I bought a can of pineapple for $1.50, so I could add it to the top of the ham, but that is … [Read more...] about Cooking Thanksgiving Dinner with Andrew Jackson
