Hi there!
I have not written one single, definitive “Thanksgiving manual,” but you can piece together my approach from what I share:
- Start with the menu first, then build the shopping list (sometimes that list comes embarrassingly late).
- Cook a big, varied spread: multiple turkey preparations, several sides (yams, greens, Brussels sprouts with apples and bacon, mac and cheese, etc.), plus plenty of desserts.
- Mix tradition with what your family actually loves, even if that means chitterlings next to pumpkin pie cheesecake.
- Work ahead on sewing and handmade gifts so the holiday week is mostly about cooking and hosting.
If I wrote a true “definitive guide,” what part would you want most: timeline, recipes, or hosting tips?
