The truth is that cooking Thanksgiving dinner is one of the easiest meals to cook! To cook the turkey just right, make sure you have a thermometer. The secret to great potatoes is that you have to use redskin taters with the skins left on half of them. They must be whipped by hand to make them fluffy, and you have to used whole or 2% milk that has been heated in the microwave, and of course, REAL butter. When it comes to stuffing, there are a thousand different varieties out there, just get your mom's recipe. The same rule goes for sweet potatoes. Yes, there's a lot to cook, but the beauty of it is that you can prepare most items in advance. That's what makes it so easy!

You are my hero. It just scares me to even think about it! Truth be told... I cooked Thanksgiving dinner twice (in my whole life) and I found it to be completely stressful, yet oddly satisfying. Perhaps I should try again? Jessica – good luck on the TURKEY! You are my hero. It just scares me to even think about it!

Keep it up, seriously! I used to ALWAYS visit family for Turkey Day and not lift a finger; however, living over 1000 miles and having a toddler makes traveling much more difficult. It is nice to have someone else cater to you, especially a large holiday meal (and cocktails). This year will be my first attempt at cooking a turkey, it should be interesting to say the least. I guarantee there will be lots of vino consumed as I prepare our feast because I am scared of the outcome. I did purchase frozen rolls and pie though, I am just not that domestic (and won't pretend to be)! .-= Jessica (aka The Unemployed Mom)´s last blog ..<a href="http://theunemployedmom.com/2009/11/23/stork-crib-recalls-over-2-1-million-cribs/" rel="nofollow">Stork Crib Recalls Over 2.1 Million Cribs</a> =-.
