25 Budget-Friendly Recipes To Fill Your Thanksgiving Table
Plan Thanksgiving Dinner on a Budget
From fresh herbs and fancy cheeses to pricey nuts and best-quality bottles of wine, it’s easy to overspend when you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner. It’s tempting to want to go all-out (even if you’re planning a smaller get-together) but it’s not necessary in order to cook a truly special meal. Even if you’re trying to stick to a budget, you can still put delicious appetizers, a roast, plenty of sides and some traditional desserts on the table—you just need the right recipes and a few smart swaps. (Spoiler alert: We’ve even got a trick for stretching a bottle of wine so that you can serve up a Thanksgiving cocktail, too!) Ready to plan your feast and save some money? These are the recipes you need, starting with this one-pan roasted chicken. It’s just the right size for a smaller group (why spend money on extra turkey that you don’t need?) and, with a touch of sage, rosemary and thyme, it will make your entire kitchen smell just like the holidays.

Does Pumpkin Pie Need to Be Refrigerated?
Whether it’s a homemade or store-bought pumpkin pie, learn if you need to store pumpkin pie in the fridge.
So you’ve baked up a beautiful homemade pumpkin pie from scratch. Or maybe you just got home from Costco and have carried a store-bought pumpkin pie from the car to the kitchen. Now what? Can that pumpkin pie stay on the counter, or do you need to refrigerate it? Read on to find out!
Does Pumpkin Pie Need to Be Refrigerated?
The short and easy answer: Yes, pumpkin pie needs to be stored in the refrigerator. The USDA advises that all “egg-rich pies” must be kept refrigerated after baking and cooling. Pumpkin pie falls into this category, along with custard, pecan, and meringue pies.
This holds true whether you’ve baked your own pumpkin pie or brought a pumpkin pie home from the store. Both homemade and store-bought pumpkin pies need to be stored in the refrigerator, not on the kitchen counter.

36 Best Indoor Grill Recipes for Enjoying Year Round
Whether pressed on juicy burgers or strewn across a cut of scrumptious steak, grill marks turn anything they touch into a mouthwatering feast. But what do you do when the weather sabotages your plans for outdoor grilling? Well, you can still achieve that satisfying sizzle with an indoor grill. In fact, anything you can cook on direct heat will cook up beautifully on an indoor grill too. From starters to dessert, these indoor grill recipes will make a believer out of you.
Choose from different cuts of steak, all sorts of kebabs and hamburger recipes to make inside tonight. Just remember that there are a few differences between indoor and outdoor grills.
Indoor grills are powered by electricity and don’t cook food by flame, so they minimize smoke and offer a fuss-free grilling experience. The raised grill ridges also allow greasy, high-fat drippings to drain off with ease. The time and temperature you’ll need for cooking on an indoor grill is basically the same as outdoor grilling recipes. Just make sure you’re using an indoor grill with a lid when needed and a food thermometer to check that meats are coming up to temperature.
