Getting Thanksgiving Dinner to the Table ON TIME! (WFMW)

It dawned on me several weeks back that one of the toughest parts of the Thanksgiving dinner preparation is the timing. And it is all about the timing on that day! From having enough oven space and kitchen space to thawing items in time and having items cooked in time, there really is an organized science to it. There is nothing worse than having everything warmed and ready only to have to wait another few hours for the turkey. Ugh!

So I thought I could at least help those of you out that purchased the Once A Month Mom Holiday 2010 eCookbook. As it just dawned on me that this day can be an organizational and timing nightmare, I thought I should have included a “what to do on your cooking” day page. So, in light of the fact that I forgot, here is a step-by-step outline for how to prepare for the Thanksgiving Day using the Once A Month Mom Holiday 2010 eCookbook as your guide.

If you haven’t purchased the Once A Month Mom Holiday 2010 eCookbook it is still available for purchase and can easily be bought and pulled together in an afternoon this weekend! That way you have time to visit with your family when they are here and won’t have to spend all of your time in the kitchen! That is what the holiday is all about, right? Celebrating family! And here is your guide to keeping your sanity on Thanksgiving Day and HOPEFULLY having dinner on the table at the same time.
