Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We have a fun-filled few days coming up. My dad and step mom are coming over today for Thanksgiving dinner and tomorrow we're having my mom, step dad, brothers and my brother's girlfriend over. They are getting lasagna. Then for Christmas, I make Thanksgiving dinner for my mom and crew and my dad and step mom get the lasagna. It's been working well for the past couple years. 🙂 And I like having people over. Saturday we are going to Chuck's mom's house and Sunday we have no plans! I think we'll need that day for recuperation!
When I first had people over for Thanksgiving I was looking forward to making everything except the turkey. That's a lot of pressure. At least in my mind. Then I heard about this little life saver!
This is a Oven-Ready Turkey in a Bag by Jennie-O. We get the whole turkey and it's so easy. Just stick in the oven frozen and go. (I just put mine in a couple minutes ago.) They have a couple different flavors and they come in the freezer section. They also make just breasts which would be nice for an everyday meal or a small gathering.
That's my Thanksgiving tip. I have some Schminke Stuffing to make (Chuck's mom's side of the family) and potatoes, but I am not even stressed a little! 🙂 Just very excited to eat until I explode! 🙂
Chuck and I put our tree up today, so while I am waiting for it to be closer to time to make more food, I am going to start decorating the tree! Oh, and we took our house off the market for the holidays. It's just not fun to keep it clean this time of year and we wouldn't want to move in the winter anyway. So we'll put it back on the market in February. (Just a little update!) Enjoy your Turkey Day!
