Thanksgiving Game Plan

I don’t know if you know this about me, but I am a bit of an organization nerd. 

I feel like if you can stay organized, then when there’s a hiccup in the road, it’s much, much easier to deal with because you’ve got everything else all figured out. 

Am I right or am I right? Seriously. Always be prepared. That’s my motto. 

So here’s my Thanksgiving game plan. Or rather my to-do list for the next few days.

#1 Make turkey rub recipe

#2 Print out a list of the food I will be serving on Thanksgiving and stick it on the fridge. {My mother in law is in charge of appetizers and beverages} so I can check it off as I make the items. 

• Jenni-O Turkey Breast {will be cooked in the Crock Pot}
• Gravy
• Cranberry sauce
  
• Mashed potatoes
  
• Amberlina’s sweet potato casserole
• Green beans 
• Brown bread and butter
• Trader Joe’s pumpkin cheesecake 
• Thomas Keller’s apple pie

#3 Find Hamish and Ruth {they’re in the barn somewhere}

#4 Pre Dinner Prep

• Make sure I have enough placemats and cloth napkins
• Hunt down glassware
• Find to-go containers {I think they’re in the barn}
• Find the conversation game I picked up a few weeks ago
• Set out the after meal activity {ie: Christmas decorations!!}
  
• Music – What kind of music do people play at Thanksgiving? 
• Set table
• Remove to-do list from the fridge
• Relax

So that’s my Thanksgiving game plan. Have you figured out yours? Will you be trying any new recipes this week? Do tell. I’m always up for a new recipe. 

Keep Calm and Carry On,
