Thanksgiving is wonderful… and a lot. Holidays can make the calmest of us fray. Feeling overwhelmed? Here are a few simple, stress-cutting ideas so you can spend more time enjoying your guests while helping keep the kitchen calm. Or at least calmer!
Tips to make it easier:
1. Plan backward from mealtime. Sketch a quick timeline for two days before, the day before, and day of. A little planning keeps everything moving.
2. Share the work. Give helpers clear jobs like drinks, bread and butter, salad, or dishes. One task per person is plenty.
3. Prep ahead. Chop vegetables, measure spices, and make sauces early. Label serving bowls so food lands in the right place without questions.
4. Set the table early. Lay out napkins, water pitchers, trivets, and to-go containers for leftovers. Tomorrow you will be grateful.
