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
