The day is finally here. The infamous Thursday.
Thanksgiving. You’re rushing around the house trying to get everything done
before your family arrives from the airport. You have so many things going on
your head might just explode! Here are a few helpful hints to make your day
easier and delicious!
1. Be prepared. Start with your turkey.
It’s the most important part of the meal so why not treat it as such? Try to
get get it done early, about an hour before you plan on sitting down to eat
then put all your sides in the oven to keep them warm.
2. Use every last drop. Don’t know what to do
with those turkey drippings from the bottom of your pan? The best place for
those drippings is your gravy. It adds delicious flavor that everybody will
love!
3. Make the best mashed potatoes. Some people might say
mashed potatoes are the best part of Thanksgiving. So, take your time and make
them right. The best mashed potatoes are made with a ricer or foley food
mill.
4. Get as much done ahead of time as you can. Lay your buffet out the
night before(or even a few days before). Label all of your serving dishes and
serving utensils with sticky note so you know exactly where everything will go.
5. Get your pies ready. As you begin to serve
your meal, turn off your oven and pop your pies inside. This will warm them up
so they’re ready to go when you finish your meal. What better way to end a meal
than with warm pie?
6. Maximize your space. Don’t have enough room
in your oven for all your sides? Break out the summer coolers and put warmed
side dishes in there. Without the ice, coolers have the opposite effect on your
food and are a great place to keep things warm.
*Bonus Tip*
The best addition to turkey is football. They
are the two components that are key to making your Thanksgiving a great day.
