Whether you are hosting or helping out the host, we have some tips for you to create a calm and easy Thanksgiving. Go easy on yourself and allow for some time to simply enjoy the holiday.

Don’t try for perfection

Preparation as Much as Possible

Set Up Stations Outside the Kitchen

The kitchen can get crowded and, if you are cooking, it can be near impossible to get it done with a crowd around you. So, to keep things easier on you, try setting up drinks and appetizer stations outside of the kitchen. Set up the appetizers on smaller tables around the guests and keep the beer and drinks in a chilled cooler near them.
