Weekly meal plan – welcome to December!
I hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was great – and delicious – I know mine was! Even though December doesn’t start until Tuesday, but more of the week’s in December than it is November! Plus, I love the month of December – it’s the best of the holiday season. So this week, because I’m embracing the (near) start of winter, I’ve got a bunch of warm, delicious recipes to try!
Thanksgiving kitchen tools
The day before Thanksgiving means crowded airports, crowded supermarkets and last minute cooking. The key to successfully preparing a Thanksgiving dinner (besides, of course, quality ingredients) is the kitchen tools.
The most important on my list are:
Three-tiered oven rack
Turkey lifters
Tongs
Digital thermometer
Also on the list and very cool (but maybe not necessary) – a stuffing cage for cooking the stuffing inside of your turkey!
