Thanksgiving 101: Prepare menu ahead
Having a couple of weeks to plan, purchase and prepare lends an advantage to creating a hassle-free Thanksgiving dinner. Plan the menu first, then make a list of what you need and start shopping. Decide what dishes can be made ahead, and do those you can easily store.
