[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to do a better job of planning. You can make a lot the day before. If you are slogging in the kitchen 8-4 and no one can get in there to toast a bagel, you’re doing it wrong.

Pioneer Woman Make-Ahead Mashed Potatoes; make it the day before

Cranberry sauce, obviously make it the day before

Green beans, you can do the microwave steam bag

Pies, you can do the day before, or buy

Dressing, it takes 20 minutes to prep and get started in the crock pot; crock pot means you don’t have to mess with one more thing in the oven

Mac and cheese or practically any casserole, you make it the day before and heat up the day of

If you struggle with a whole turkey, get a few breasts and some legs

Seriously, there is barely anything to do day-of if you plan and prepare; you can also buy a lot or assign to guests

You’re making this a huge production when it’s not.

OP won't take your helpful advice. She just wants everyone to just dump on her sister. What's Thanksgiving without a host playing martyr? OP invited these people and now resents the hell out of them for existing.[/quote]

My family would be pissed if I served that disgusting-*ss menu. I agree you can prep a lot ahead of time but some of us have higher standards. [/quote]

Higher standards belong to competent and confident cooks. If you are neither, then corners can and should be cut. [/quote]

Oh f off. Cooking a holiday meal for 15 is a feat for anyone. I’m not serving plain microwaved green beans and Stovetop just because the “adult boys” want to make scrambled eggs in the kitchen. [/quote]

Why do people keep harping on the numbers? It's the same work for 8 guests as it is for 15. What's a few extra peeled potatoes or a larger turkey? Some of you are really doing a lot of exaggerating.[/quote]
