Cold weather descended upon Oklahoma a few days ago so hearty foods finally sound appealing. This month’s vintage menu plans include cozy winter meals such as beef stew, baked ham and of course, a traditional Thanksgiving menu. Sweet potatoes, cranberries and acorn squash are a few of the seasonal items you’ll find in our November Vintage Menu Plan.
