Have you started planning your Thanksgiving holiday...? Are you cooking for your family and/or friends? Are you dreading and stressing out over the entire ordeal...or do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and a little apprehensive....?
Don't make the prospects of cooking all that food ruin your holiday. Its possible with a little planning and preparation to have a wonderful holiday!
First of all ....make a list....I make several lists to get me through the cooking.
I usually have around 15 for Thanksgiving dinner. We have family and friends...! I love to invite anyone who doesn't have a place to share the holiday. To me that's the spirit of the season! So it is imperative to be well prepared and have a plan.
The first thing you should do is plan your menu. Then make a shopping list followed by a schedule of preparing all the food. I try to start cooking at least several days before my meal. There are several things you can prepare ahead of time.
The most logical and smartest move you can make is to shop early...don't wait until the weekend before Thanksgiving or a couple of days prior to the holiday. Shop at least the week before...even if you are buying a fresh turkey...the stores get them in about a week before Thanksgiving. If you must wait for lack of room in your refrig...do all of your shopping the week before and pick up your turkey on Tuesday or Wednesday. You might have to wait in line at the checkout....but you won't be frantically running through the aisles at several stores trying to find all of your ingredients for the meal.
I thought it might be fun for you to follow me through all of my Thanksgiving process. So over the next couple of weeks...we will plan...make lists....shop....and cook ....together....!
Looking forward to you joining me.....Leah
