Just in time for Thanksgiving, one lucky Mom in the City member will win an assortment of Libby’s Vegetables and a Mayfair & Jackson Covered Casserole Dish with Rack.

Libby’s also has some budget-friendly dishes for the holiday season. I’ve included a couple of the recipes below and I’ll be sharing a few more next Tuesday.
