Preparing for Thanksgiving

Tip of the Week – Get Ahead for Thanksgiving!

Although it’s too soon to actually start cooking that special meal, I love ideas that will give me a head start on the big dinner – and while I’ve detailed a few of those suggestions in a Thanksgiving Countdown Planner, here are a few more very easy things that you can do to get ahead:

Get Practical Now

• Self clean your oven.
• Stock up on disposable plastic containers, saran wrap, tin foil and food storage bags for easy clean up.
• Clean out your refrigerator, getting rid of everything you can!  Think – old condiments, salad dressings, and such.  Make as much room as possible for your Thanksgiving meal.
• Are you tired of gathering chairs from around the house?  Call now to rent chairs – they’ll all match on turkey day and be gone with the leftovers!
• Trying a new recipe?  Practice now!
• Shop for non-perishables – it will make the final shopping trip much easier!

And Again, a Day or Two Ahead

• Clear your countertops of all unnecessary appliances and decorations.
• Write out and post a copy of your entire menu in the kitchen (listing even the little things like butter!)
• Use post-its to label a dish, bowl or platter for every dish to be served.

Here’s to a stress free and delicious Thanksgiving Dinner!
