Prep, Prep, Pass – the Thanksgiving Side Dishes We Love To Make and Share
Look on the bright side: Thanksgiving is always observed on the fourth Thursday of November. In 2019, the month of November started on a Friday, making Thanksgiving occur on the latest possible day — November 28.
You have more time than usual to prepare and plan for your Thanksgiving holiday.* Doesn’t that make you feel less stressed already?
It can sometimes feel a little overwhelming, when you have a lot of different recipes to cook and bake for one day-long feast. But, as we’ve noted in previous years, there are lots of yummy dishes and desserts you can make days (or even weeks!) in advance, freeing you up to enjoy Thanksgiving day.
Here are some other Thanksgiving tips, tricks, and just plain interesting trivia that you can share with your visitors — perhaps as they join you in the kitchen to speed the preparation of the day’s feast:
