Happy Saturday before Thanksgiving!

1. Grandma's Banana Nut Bread

2. Buffalo Chicken Dip

4. Copycat Chipotle Chicken

1. Puzzle Advent Calendar - There are four different puzzles/scenes to choose from (I got the nativity scene)… each day you put together a 24-piece puzzle and by Christmas it all connects together into a 1,000-piece puzzle!

2. Large Silicone Dough Mat - I LOVE having a big dedicated silicone mat just for rolling out dough, and the one I have has the measurement markings both along the edges and in circles in the middle, perfect for pies, cut-out sugar cookies, pizza dough, and any pastry dough. I can't recommend this enough! (Currently over 50% off)

3. Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce - An ingredient that packs tons of flavor into the reader-favorite copycat Chipotle chicken recipe.

4. Ancho Chile Powder - Another key ingredient for making the copycat Chipotle chicken recipe!

5. Glass Pie Plates – I own three of these; they are my go-to for all of my pies.
