’Twas the Night Before Christmas Dinner

Written by MemphisCash-Editor on . Posted in Cash Saver Blog, Recipe Blog, Uncategorized, Wellness.

’Twas the night before Christmas dinner, the house all a-flutter,
With pots stacked by stoves and counters wiped of their clutter.
The ovens stood ready, the pans tucked away,
For a feast in the making come Christmas Day.

No need for perfection, no stress in the air,
Just the comfort of knowing soul food would be there.
Recipes remembered, not written or read,
Passed down in stories instead of in thread.

The greens would be simmered, cooked low and just right,
Casseroles queued for their moment to shine bright.
Gravy would thicken by feel, not by rule,
Rolls would disappear off the rack, warm and foolproof.

In the living room, laughter drifted with cheer,
Kids counting the hours til morning was here.
Mugs waited patiently, cocoa in mind,
And sweet little treats were already being eyed.

The fridge held its secrets of pie yet to come,
Of something poured creamy and desserts made for some.
The table stood waiting for plates piled high,
For seconds and thirds and the long goodbye.

This is Christmas in Memphis, familiar and true,
Where the food fills the house and the heart does too.
It lingers, it stretches, it lasts all day long,
With leftovers wrapped up before dessert comes along.

And when lights dimmed low and the kitchen went still,
Every pan sat ready, each space set to fill.
The feast was prepared, the people were near,
And Christmas dinner would soon be here.

From Deviled Eggs to Dessert: Memphis Thanksgiving Made Easy

Written by MemphisCash-Editor on . Posted in Recipe Blog, Wellness.

A Midtown Holiday Menu Made With Love

Thanksgiving in Midtown Memphis has its own kind of magic. It is porch lights glowing at dusk, kids racing across leaves in the front yard, and kitchens warming up long before the guests arrive. At Memphis Cash Saver, we love being part of the traditions that make this holiday feel like home. So this year, we pulled together a full Thanksgiving menu using featured items from our November circular. Think of it as your one stop shop for feeding the whole family with Memphis heart.

Start With Appetizers Everyone Knows

Every good Thanksgiving begins with a snack spread. It keeps hungry family members from wandering into the kitchen asking when dinner will be ready. Fill your starters table with:

  • Deviled eggs made with fresh eggs and Blue Plate Mayo
  • A big salad using Dole Classic Romaine or Greener Selection Salad, tomatoes on the vine, Best Choice croutons, and Kraft salad dressing
  • Knott’s Pimento Cheese in original or jalapeno with crackers

And yes, we know the rule. There must be a salad at Thanksgiving. It must be placed on the table in a nice bowl. Someone must pretend to take some. Will anyone actually eat it? That remains one of the great holiday mysteries.

The Main Event Begins With Ham

If your family prefers ham to turkey, we have you covered. Cook’s Smoked Ham comes in both butt and shank portions and fills your home with that classic holiday aroma the moment it goes into the oven. Slice it thick, serve it warm, and watch it disappear faster than you expected.

Sides That Steal the Spotlight

Everyone knows the sides are the real stars of Thanksgiving. No matter how beautiful the ham is, nothing compares to the comfort of a full Southern spread. Stock up on:

  • Fresh Turnip, Mustard, and Collard Greens
  • Best Choice Cranberry Sauce in whole berry or jellied
  • Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
  • Wonder Dinner Rolls in the classic 12 count package

These are the dishes that never disappoint. They are the flavors that bring people back to the table for seconds and maybe even thirds.

Dessert To End the Night Right

You are already halfway to dessert heaven with Pillsbury Pie Crusts in regular and deep dish. Add Prairie Farms Egg Nog or Holiday Custard to sip alongside your pie and you have a sweet finish everyone will love.

If you need pie inspiration, here’s a great recipe from Julia Child herself. 

Julia Child Inspired Fluffy Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients

  • 1 Pillsbury deep dish pie crust
  • 1 can pumpkin puree
  • 3 eggs, separated
  • Sugar
  • Pumpkin pie spice
  • A splash of milk or evaporated milk
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Bake your pie crust according to package directions and let it cool.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, egg yolks, milk, and salt until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks.
  4. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the pumpkin mixture. This is the magic step that creates the fluffy, cloud like texture.
  5. Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake at 350 degrees until set. The center will jiggle slightly but should not be liquid.
  6. Cool completely before slicing.

Whether your table is filled with family, neighbors, coworkers, or friends who feel like home, Memphis Cash Saver is here to make your Thanksgiving delicious, warm, and wonderfully Memphis.
