Thanksgiving is the only truly American holiday we have. We did not borrow it from any other culture and it is completely secular, so every American celebrates it. The best part about Thanksgiving is that it is not commercialized. It truly is only about family, food and flavor.
Food creates memories. Undoubtedly, you have dishes that you eat only once a year and that you associate with particular events, people, or places. Tradition dictates that holiday meals are always the same. Expecting the same dishes brings happy anticipation. I never change my Thanksgiving dinner; I believe a rebellion would take place if I did.
If this is your first year to cook Thanksgiving dinner create a menu that you will enjoy cooking, that will taste good, and that your family will look forward to every year. Cooking Thanksgiving dinner is not necessarily hard, but it is very labor intensive. Make that labor count by making sure your ingredients are as fresh as possible and that everything has a lot of flavor. Thanksgiving is a feast; this is not the meal to skimp on fat, salt or sugar. If the meal is colorful, it will be full of nutrition and fiber.
Let's Cook Tonight® teaches a common sense approach to cooking and eating for maximum health, flavor and enjoyment. It makes sense to invest the time in creating a Thanksgiving dinner that has maximum health, flavor and enjoyment. You will then have a tradition that is full of family, food and flavor. It does not get any better than that.
Cooking is easier than you think and you are worth the time and effort it takes.
Simple cooking idea: Do not stuff your turkey in advance. Stuff it just before you are going to put it in the oven.
