Thanksgiving Dinner for the Masses…Simplified Food is such a huge part of the holiday season so it just makes sense that Thanksgiving is my family’s favorite. My home has become the gathering place for all of our holiday meals since it is big enough to accommodate our extended families. Without a plan, cooking the entire meal alone can be quite a stressful ordeal. However, with careful planning, organization and early preparation of classic dishes, the day of Thanksgiving can be easy, enjoyable and stress free.

Now, with the bird tucked in until the big day, I can start on the relish tray. Prepping this ahead of time is simple since the tray is comprised of fresh vegetables, pickles, and olives. I carefully cut the bright carrots, …show more content…
For the green bean casserole, the blanched green beans are bathed in a mushroom cream sauce that is made with diced onions, cremini mushrooms and heavy cream. This mixture is transferred to a foil baking pan that is covered and refrigerated. The roasted sweet potatoes are mashed and blended into a vanilla custard then poured over chunks of day old French bread for a delicious sweet potato bread pudding. The crumbled cornbread is mixed with sautéed onion, celery and bell pepper. I season it with ground sage, salt and pepper. It goes into a foil pan for storage. Last, but not least, are the potatoes.

Normally all my fathers family members can attend and I get to catch up with my Canadian cousins and brother who lives in Boston. Additionally we enjoy the classic feast of turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce, and more. Thanksgiving has a lot of importance to my family because I get to spend time with the people I don't see as often and bond with them. I believe that my family can also feel this social importance, which is why nobody ever seems to miss it, and we always leave so late. Between the food, friends, family, and extra long weekend off school,

The holidays can be stressful and with Thanksgiving right around the corner we tend to forget about ourselves, because we're so busy taking care of others. Together with Alouette, I want to share three easy ways you can keep it together this Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is always big for us. I would generally spend hours in the kitchen making sure everything is ready. This year we won't be hosting, but that doesn't mean that our meals aren't going to be extravagant.
Now it is time to set the table (in addition, butter dish, salt and pepper shakers, wine bucket, serving utensils). Also remember to chill the beverages in advance you will be serving. Most important, you will need to plan out your baking time for each dish. For instance, while the turkey is cooling down you can bake the stuffing and sweet potatoes. In addition, you can boil and prepare the mashed potatoes and gravy.
Martha looked at the myth of Thanksgiving. The idea that an entire family would happily get together for a huge meal. The family will think and talk about everything that they are thankful for. This is heavily discussed in elementary schools. As a child I remember my teacher suggesting that at dinner we should go around the table and have each family member say something that they are thankful for.

204 million pounds of turkey was wasted over Thanksgiving. Currently the United States is battling a major food waste crisis and between the holidays Thanksgiving and New Years, approximately 40 days, Americans creates 5 million tons of household waste. With wasting food, turkey especially, it's not just the nutrients that are thrown out; time, money, labor and a whole lot of gallons of water go into raising turkeys and to get them ready to be eaten. America is the leading contributor to the global food waste crisis due to the fact that most of America is lucky enough to have access to regular trash collection. Our country's oblivion to the waste problem impacts our society because wasting food is damaging to the environment.

The pecan pie had to be just about the best one I ever had. It tasted just like freshly cooked, warm pecans, in a pie crust, with frosting on them. Thanksgiving dinner lasted us for the rest of our trip in South Carolina. When we arrived home, I immediately knew that I would never forget this trip. If given the option of doing this again next year, as opposed to having Thanksgiving at home as usual, I would immediately say
