Two Weeks before Thanksgiving

  • Make your guest list. Invite friends and family you haven't yet contacted.

  • Ask guests if they would like to contribute a special dish.

  • Decide on your Thanksgiving menu -- considering the number you are entertaining.

  • If planning to cook a turkey, decide whether to use fresh, frozen or smoked. Be certain the size selected will fit in your freezer, fridge and oven. Order size desired, if necessary. (Plan on 1 to 1.5 pounds per person if buying a whole turkey.)

  • Stock up on staples when grocery shopping.

  • Make breads and rolls -- freeze.

  • Purchase supplies, such as table coverings, napkins, cups.
