So Thanksgiving is here again and maybe you’re not a cook, don’t have the time, or simply feel like mixing it up this year. You don’t have to cook the entire Thanksgiving meal from scratch if you don’t want to. There are many options now-a-days from having Thanksgiving dinner at an actual restaurant to amazing meals made by Chefs that you only have to heat up and serve in your own home. Then again, you might like cooking most of the meal, in that case I also have some yummy dessert options to add some new flavors to your Thanksgiving table.
If you are the kind to cook everything from scratch and make centerpieces for the table, my hat off to you Martha Steward minion. I wish I had your time and skills. For the rest of us regular souls, let’s see what we’ve got!
