Prep for Success
For many people, cooking is a relaxing, peaceful pastime…so why should Thanksgiving dinner be any different?

Then, place an array of mixing bowls and cutting boards around your kitchen and give each station its own recipe so your family members can join in on the fun! Because when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner prep, there’s no such thing as too many cooks.

Dress to De-Stress
While your turkey’s preoccupied in the oven, turn your attention to the table. Except, rather than spend an inordinate amount of time creating elaborate table settings, we suggest dressing up the dishes instead – after all, you eat with your eyes first! Put your pumpkin pie on its best behavior with a beautiful dish that matches the rest of your decor, and make your side dishes even more irresistible with decorative serving platters and bowls!

Clean House
After every last plate is licked clean, it’s time to undo the damage that has been done to your dishes (and kitchen). To make clean-up a cinch, emulate an efficient restaurant by setting up a dirty dish station! Place a plastic dish pan and garbage can near the sink so plates can be scraped clean of debris and left somewhat organized. Not only will this expedite the table-clearing process and reduce rinsing time, it’ll save yourself from the additional mess that dirty dish sprawl can create!

Savor For Later
And finally, one of the best parts of Thanksgiving dinner: the leftovers! To simplify your delicious food storage, stash your prized pie slices, side dishes, and turkey in glass container sets that’ll stack well in the fridge, and re-heat well in the microwave! And when the last of the leftovers are gone, keep those containers organized inside your cabinets with a few smart shelves and drawers.
