Tips to Turkey
It’s the week before Thanksgiving. Your family is coming into town. You have no idea where to put who, what dishes to make, or even if you want to host. We get it, the holidays are stressful but we are here to help you pull it together!
First, let’s start with who’s coming. We all need to know “who all gone be there?!” Have a proper headcount and rundown of what family members are coming into town. So if you do decide to host that big Thanksgiving you always wanted, you can have zero surprises. Also, a side note, be aware of everyone’s palette. Take into account any allergies or special conditions.
Now that we know where to put Auntie Linda, let’s get to the best part. THE FOOD. If you are blessed with the culinary skills of a chef, then we need that address. We do to-go and pick-up orders. On a serious note, here is a list of things that should help you get your food noticed by every person present,
It’s on everybody’s mind so, BUY THAT BIRD EARLY! (This speaks for itself)
Do not doubt the use of crockpots. If you have more than one, use all of them. Even if it’s to reheat your premade dishes.
Don’t be afraid to reach out! If you’re hosting, use your resources to handle some of the workload.
Make your pies and rolls in advance. We need that oven to cook that bird. This will clear up some space in advance.
Make a plan of what you want to make, and stick to it.
To bring everything together let’s take a look at one of the most overlooked moments on Thanksgiving. Keep it simple! We all want everything to be tip-top, but we also celebrate balling on a budget. Bells and whistles are great but it’s important to remember, it’s about the experience. Make it something unforgettable and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
