Trinity Falls - Tips and Tricks to Make Your Thanksgiving Dinner Easier
November 11, 2015
Thanksgiving is just around the corner now and there's no doubt the preparation has already begun throughout Trinity Falls homes in McKinney, TX. Whether that is deciding who is bringing the turkey, where the festivities will take place, or simply who is responsible for providing the holiday wine.
Although this yearly tradition is nothing new for those prepping around America, there are still plenty of ways to make the holiday a little easier for everyone involved.
Here are some of the best tips to help you win Thanksgiving in Trinity Falls McKinney Texas:
Freeze Your Pies!
Even though Thanksgiving is technically still weeks away, there's no reason you can't start prepping. If you're making a fruit pie or pies, you can make the whole pie then freeze it unbaked. On the day before Thanksgiving, take it out and bake it for 20-45 minutes more than the recipe specifies depending on the temperature of your freezer and amount of filling. For single crusted custard pies, make the bottom crust, wrap and freeze. Fill and bake the day before Thanksgiving.
Practice Makes Perfect
Did you know carving a turkey and a chicken are exactly the same? Roast a chicken or two for dinner for your family and perfect your carving craft before the big day!
Try Oven-less Recipes
One common problem people run into when preparing for Thanksgiving is running out of oven space and time for all of the goodies. That's why you should consider some of these recipes that don't require an oven!
Buy an Instant Read Thermometer
Because over or undercooked Turkey is something you (probably) won't be thankful for.
Strategically Plan Your Grocery Shopping Trips
It's no secret that Americans procrastinate, and when it comes to Thanksgiving shopping it's no different. To be one step ahead and avoid the overcrowded stores, make two trips. The first trip, shop a week prior to Thanksgiving for nonperishables (canned goods, flour, paper towels, etc.) and the second trip should be a few days before Thanksgiving for anything that needs to be fresh (salad greens, fruit, milk, cream).
These are just some of the ways to make this Thanksgiving in Trinity Falls McKinney Texas be one of the best and easiest ones ever. Preparation is key so don't wait until the last minute! There are more Thanksgiving tips to go around, so have at it!
Happy Thanksgiving, Trinity Falls!
