Big D Blog: Turkey Day Preparation

Posted by Estela Nunez

It’s hard to believe but Thanksgiving is less than a week away! Whether you’re staying in town to celebrate with friends or going back home to your family, preparation time is now.

First, decide if this year’s turkey will be roasted, smoked, or even fried.

Next, look for the right recipes of appetizers, entrées, and desserts that will satisfy even the pickiest of your family members.

Then, figure out the numbers. How many people are expected to come and how big of an appetite your family members have.

Lastly, take your grocery list and pick up all the needed ingredients for your turkey day festivities.

A little word of advice to my fellow procrastinators’, waiting till the last minute is not the best idea. Due to the recession people will be quick to look for the best prices before others beat them to the punch.

Voila! Your will be ahead of the pack and can rest easy till the big day.

Oh and for those who weren’t blessed with the greatest of culinary skills like myself, and need a little more help don’t fret. Holiday cooking hotlines and websites are available.
