Great ideas! Adding the sticky notes to your serving dishes is great when a guest is asking what they can help with. It's also helpful because you're not making those decisions while you're trying to get everything on the table at once. For a number of years now, I make mashed potatoes, squash and gravy a day or two ahead and warm them in crockpots the day of. This year I'm going to cook and carve my turkey a day ahead and then reheat the sliced turkey in broth in the oven. I hope it works well because carving the turkey at mealtime makes a huge mess. This will also give me time to cook the turkey bones for broth.
I love your tip about preparing so much ahead of time! I love making my side dishes the day before as well. I love the idea that you have of cooking the turkey the day before. Thank you for supporting my channel.
Very good tips and I love that you made us feel “okay” using paper goods. So many people think you have to break out fine china, silver etc. I don’t have those things and I always feel cheap if I use paper goods. So thank you!!
Thank you so much for watching Janet. I don’t have China and like I said those paper plates or plasticware have come along way. Thanks for your support.❤️
These tips are perfect for any hostess. Great job! I usually do all of the hosting and planning ahead makes it so much easier. Looks like you've got everything covered! Thanks for sharing.
My family would spend Thanksgiving in the desert, so some things had to be done 2 weeks or more ahead. We would buy a 10 or 12 pound turkey and use it as the ice for other meats for the week. By the time we had eaten the rest of the meat, the turkey was defrosted. Many dishes were made from a box (mashed potatoes, gravy in a can, and stove top stuffing). The dessert might be a cobbler (apple, peach, etc). I would also buy another turkey for the freezer to make a repeat dinner in January or February after the holidays when the dollars were tight. There's the meal, the leftovers, sandwiches, and soup from the turkey carcass, which was about a week or more from start to finish. My husband made a great turkey spread from parts of the turkey that was deeelici 9:56 ous with pureed onions. It's amazing what you can eat from this holi 9:56 day meal. I even make a cranberry cake with a white cake mix, a can of cranberry sauce, and your favorite white frosting. Nice video and thanks for remembering the day of things for which we are thankful.
