Save time on Thanksgiving and prep your pies and freeze them unbaked.

You may need to bake the frozen pie for 20 to 45 minutes more than the recipe specifies.

"Tent" with foil if the crust starts to get too brown.

Our biggest nightmare is forgetting to defrost the turkey, and having Thanksgiving morning come and our turkey is still frozen. 😱
Be prepared and know how soon to start thawing your turkey by weight.

The first trip, plan to do before the supermarkets get crowded. Shop for non-perishable's — canned goods, flour and sugar, spices, paper goods — anything on your list that doesn't need to be fresh.

The week of Thanksgiving, plan a quick & easy trip for perishable items like fresh fruits & veggies, milk and fish, etc.

Deck the halls with homemade Salt Dough Ornaments!

With only 3 ingredients, this recipe is even better than the air dry method (3 to 4 days) and baking method (2 to 3 hours), because it's ready in 3 minutes or less!

Get Creative:
❄ 1 cup flour
❄ 1/2 cup salt
❄ 1/2 cup water

Mix flour and salt together. Gradually add water. Mix and add more water slowly as needed to reach a doughy consistency. Knead dough on a flour prepared surface until smooth. Roll dough evenly until about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter or use a free printable snowflake template available for download on our pinterest page! (pinterest.com/ktasuperstores). Use a chopstick, skewer or straw to make a small hole for stringing the ornament. When your shapes are ready, gently place onto a microwave safe dish. Microwave in 10 second increments for up to 3 minutes or until it hardens. (Microwaving in long times may result in burning.) When ornaments are hard and cool to the touch, add ribbon or string! Hang on the tree!
