Thanksgiving is a great time of year, no doubt. For those of us who are in charge or are being hosts, it can get a little stressful and overwhelming. This series is 14 days to an easy Thanksgiving and it will walk you through the 14 days before Thanksgiving and what you can do to get ready each day, just a little project or task that will make your Thanksgiving day EASY! Most of the things are great family time ideas and things your kids can help with too!
DAY 10 – Shopping Day + Traditional Thanksgiving Menu
With Thanksgiving just a handful of days away, you will want to go out and get the rest of the items from your shopping list today. If you haven’t made your menu yet, do it now. Time is running out and you don’t want to be unable to get the food you want because of lack of preparation. If you need ideas, here is what a traditional Thanksgiving menu looks like:
Turkey and/or Ham
Dressing / Stuffing
Mashed Potatoes
Sweet Potatoes
Cranberry Sauce
Gravy
Salad
Green Beans / Green Bean Casserole
Rolls
Vegetables
Butternut Squash
Asparagus
Pie and desserts
Be sure to figure how many people will be there and maybe buy a little extra. You would rather have too much food than not enough. Leftover Turkey is great for a lot of different kinds of meals, especially if you have to go back to work, it will be nice to have the leftovers!
