Here are a few ways to stretch your dining dollars this month:

Bambara restaurant, 202 S. Main, is offering a three-course "Red Plate Special" menu for $33 Nov. 9-13. A portion of proceeds from each Red Plate Special will be donated to the Utah AIDS Foundation in honor of World Aids Day. The menu, which changes nightly, includes a choice of salad or soup, entree selection and one of Bambara's house-made desserts.

Log Haven, 6451 E. Millcreek Canyon Road, is offering a 15 percent discount to celebrate its 15-year anniversary. Mention the anniversary through the month of November and receive 15 percent off the regular dinner menu. The offer isn't valid on Thanksgiving, early bird specials or private parties. Dinner is served every day beginning at 5:30 p.m. (www.log-haven.com)

And if you're stumped about cooking your upcoming Thanksgiving Dinner, here's another deal: Viking Cooking School's Nov. 14 Turkey Workshop is half-price. This class, normally $135 for 5 hours of hands-on instruction, plus an enormous feast at the end, is from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. and shows you how to brine, truss, season and roast the ultimate holiday bird; make several side dishes and desserts; and ideas for using the leftovers (801-464-0113).
