Hosting your first Thanksgiving dinner can be stressful.  You can minimize the stress by using this Thanksgiving Checklist.

This Thanksgiving checklist guides you through the tasks you need to accomplish:

• the weekend before
• 2 days before
• the day / night before
• Thanksgiving Day

It also includes tips, such as how much should the turkey weigh and how many sides you should serve.

This checklist can be used to prepare for any large event involving a lot of cooking.

Print it out and check off tasks as you go.  I hope you find it helpful whether it’s your first or tenth time hosting Thanksgiving dinner.  If you have any questions not covered on this checklist, feel free to leave them in the Comments section below.  I’ll do my best to answer them for you.  Don’t worry, you got this!

Below are some recipes you might want to consider as you plan the menu.

• Roasted Turkey
• Potato Salad
• Caesar Salad
• Rice and Beans
• Mac and Cheese

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I want to thank you for reading my blog and allowing me into your home.

Happy Thanksgiving!
