Ideas for Thanksgiving Dinner

Ideas for thanksgiving dinner

I was speaking to a friend today and she was panicking as to how she had not finalized the menu for Thanksgiving as yet.

Am I the only one who plans a menu two months ahead of time? I subconsciously planned my Eid menu a month before Ramadan. Let’s not even talk about Christmas. I began thinking of the Christmas menu many months in advance. In case you are wondering how come she celebrates both Eid and Christmas, well we celebrate every occasion; for the love of the festive food.♥

For those of you who are panicking as to what you should cook for thanksgiving, do not worry. I am here to provide some assistance. *Grins* I was also inspired by Lindsay from POY in shortlisting the recipes that would be useful for all of you in planning the thanksgiving menu.  

If you do not have much time in hand, you don’t have to stress as to how many side dishes to make, thawing the turkey, making pumpkin pie etc. Thanksgiving is not about the number of hours you spend in the kitchen but the important part is enjoying the company of loved ones and being thankful for what god has bestowed upon you so far. The Following Ideas for Thanksgiving Dinner are simple to make. They are delightful and your loved ones would most certainly enjoy them .
