Stress Be Gone! 10 Tips to Make Entertaining a Breeze This Thanksgiving

Half-empty sauce bottles, jellies and pickle jars take up valuable real estate in every fridge. Make way for prepped meals or a marinating turkey by clearing out nonessentials and placing them in a cooler.

Instead of spending hours on end chopping vegetables and herbs on Thanksgiving Day, spend time relaxing with your family. Chop veggies a few days before and place in them in the fridge. Don’t forget to label and organize by recipe to maximize your time-saving efforts!

Peeling a lot of garlic is incredibly time consuming and often ends with sticky hands and small pieces of peel all over the kitchen. Spend a fraction of the time and effort by microwaving garlic cloves for 20 seconds to allow for easy peeling and less mess.

Follow along with tried-and-true recipes by hanging them at eye level. This keeps them out of the way of spills and easy to reference whenever you need them. If you’re using a tablet for recipes, place it in a zip-top bag to protect it from spills as well. Best of all, the touch screen will still work!
