Easy Thanksgiving Menu
Every year it happens: you think you have Thanksgiving under control, and then, just as your in-laws walk through the front door, you realize that the potatoes you were supposed to mash are still sitting in a sack in your pantry and your stuffing may have to pass for soup. Panic! So, how to make Thanksgiving easier? This Easy Menu explores two viable options: dress up store-bought ingredients by adding your own creative pairings to store-bought stuffing mixes or adding a smoky gourmet touch to supermarket cream of corn soup. Or, alternatively, pare down your preparations to simple, but delicious, from-scratch dishes, like the perfect baked potato instead of the incriminating mashed; Apple Cranberry Crisp that allows you to skip that temperamental pie crust altogether; or step by step instructions on, simply and thankfully, how to roast a turkey. Easy as pie that you don't have to make!

Simplicity is key! This menu is my favorite for sure as it lets the ingredients speak for themselves. Its earthy, solid, good, home-style cooking, isn't that what Thanksgiving is all about!

This is my favorite because it is simple. It is very much in the Thanksgiving tradition. And it sounds delicious. I'm giving it a try.
