THANKSGIVING COUNTDOWN

[Guest guest]

THANKSGIVING COUNTDOWN Try our time-saving food tips to help manage Thanksgiving

planning, leaving you with ample time to enjoy the holiday. TODAY- Finalize your

menu.- If using a frozen soy protein entree, purchase. - Purchase non-perishable

items, such as flour, sugar, canned pumpkin, and beverages. TOMORROW- Buy

vegetables with long shelf lives, like carrots and potatoes.- Dig out your

serving dishes from storage. TWO DAYS AHEAD- Put your frozen soy protein entree

in the fridge now to defrost fully for cooking day.- Enlist household members to

help tidy up.- From breads to pumpkin pie, bake as much as you can today.- Make

dishes that will store for two days, such as soups and cranberry sauce. THE DAY

BEFORE- Set the table.- Finish any remaining baking, including that apple pie

(it loses its flaky, crisp crust if baked any earlier).- Shop for salad greens

and other perishable vegetables.- Plan tomorrow's cooking schedule, including

time and sequence. THANKSGIVING DAYFirst off:- Prepare your stuffing and extra

to serve on the side.- Clean, peel, and chop your vegetables, then cover and

refrigerate. Cooking time:- Bake or cook entree according to schedule.- Just

before the entree's done, begin cooking vegetables. While the entree is

resting:- If you have a pan of stuffing on the side, bake it now.- Warm your

rolls, soups, and casseroles.- Mash the potatoes and make the gravy. Press

guests into service for the final touches: They can help place food on the

table, pour drinks, and so on. Now, enjoy the fantastic feast you've created!

sizes. - Kids can help too. Have them set the table or take on other easy tasks.

- Clean out the fridge in advance to make room for the dishes you prepare ahead,
