I’ve started my grocery list for Thanksgiving and the first thing I thought of was that I was not going to go through another holiday without this handy Three Tier Oven Rack so that I can cook more than one or two things at a time. It is a madhouse in my kitchen on holidays, and I don’t have a gourmet kitchen with two or three ovens! This is the perfect solution for us normal folks.

It’s under $25, and if you are going to someone’s house for Thanksgiving, this would make a great hostess gift! Or Christmas gift for the cook on your gift list.

From Nifty Home Products:

• Bakes up to 3 tiers of heavy casseroles
• Durable chrome-plated steel construction
• 3 Tiered oven rack makes most of oven space
• Collapses flat for easy storage
• Dimensions 14-1/2-inch by 11-inch by 10-1/2-inch

Don’t think for a moment that I just randomly pick apps to tell you about. I probably downloaded 25 Thanksgiving game apps and tested before deciding which one to share with you. It’s a tough job, but I will color and play for you, my dear readers!

This looked like the easiest game for a small child to play. And you know I love to entertain the small children so they don’t get bored around me! The Paint and Play Yummy Thanksgiving app allows you to color a turkey, and then turn it into a puzzle too! So it’s double the fun!

From the developer:

Kids of all ages will love the beautiful illustrations to color. Enjoy the musical sounds as you finger touches the screen as you stroke you brush. In addition, enjoy beautiful sparkle effects whilst painting.

Once complete you can save or email your picture. But, that’s not all! Take your picture and play with it in a challenging Slider puzzle or memory building match game!

Doesn’t that look yummy? There is nothing better than pumpkin butter on toast! Oh wait; there is something better, low calorie pumpkin butter! Only one weight watcher point for two tablespoons!

I’ve been making this recipe for years, and it’s so easy I can make plenty for my husband and me and plenty to give away to my friends and family. Then they think I’m some sort of master baker with a big, kind heart. Let’s just keep this easy recipe between us.
