Thanksgiving Tips & Recipes from our Foodie Friends!!!
/Are you ready for Thanksgiving 2016?
For those of us who need a little help navigating the kitchen, here are a few tips from our friends who have made their passion for food into a business!
TIP #1: Plan Ahead for the Big Day
“Be proactive, not reactive. Every Thanksgiving I prep each dish the night before and have them organized in plastic bags. That way, if someone wants to help, you have everything ready.
Also, roughly map out the timing of everything so that you can stay on schedule and reduce the stress!”

TIP #2: Those Sides Tho!!!
“Let your macaroni noodles set in the hot water after cutting the burner off for an additional 10 minutes. They get plump, and I swear my macaroni and cheese is so much better!
Also, I add butter to my cobbler batter and to the pan before I pour the batter in... OMG! Hahaha!”

TIP #3: Let's Talk Turkey
“If deep frying your turkey, keep the oil temperature at 350 degrees, or until the internal temp reaches 165 degrees or better. Then cool for 25 minutes.”
