adminThanksgiving is just around the corner! We always host single soldiers and sometimes a few extra families. Prepping and shopping all the food for one day, I AM EXHAUSTED!! Well, CHINET hooked me up twice this year! Not only did I save on disposable items for Thanksgiving but they also provided us with this amazing, simple recipe that takes the stress and thinking out of dinner for a night. We are planning this for the day after Thanksgiving, but it is such a good recipe to keep in hand for before also! Stress free, delicious, and easy clean up with CHINET plates! I couldn’t ask for more… well besides a personal chef 😉 Check this out!!
