Cook A Realistic Thanksgiving Dinner with Me! Easy & Fast Thanksgiving Spread

[@kerrylevett9399]

Our Thanksgiving this year was basic too but it's always enough! You don't have to go all out every year!

[@DanielleLaShawn]

I agree. It was just the easiest stuff I could make and it was bomb. We were all stuffed. Lol

[@sydluvsdepechemode]

Your video was a whole vibe. Last year I kept it really simple and just had a rotisserie chicken 😂😂😂 Doing a turkey this year but it's going to be mellow and just me and my kids

[@DanielleLaShawn]

Mellow is the best for Thanksgiving, IMO. I don't like overcomplicating it or overcommiting myself.

[@sydluvsdepechemode]

@@DanielleLaShawn absolutely. I used to do that whole committing to a full day with friends and getting dressed up thing. I also took a mini vacation from work and I'ma off next Wednesday through the weekend with pay.

[@DanielleLaShawn]

Yes! Love that! I hope you enjoy your break. ❤️

[@h-townsfinest4216]

Please do another one for 2022! Your videos are relaxing and fun to watch!

[@DanielleLaShawn]

Thank you! I'm planning to.

[@cavlogs614]

This year I'm gonna make my first Thanksgiving with my family and my future family

[@DanielleLaShawn]

Good luck! 😊

[@nitrogirl422]

Your babies are adorable!! Loved when they wanted to help momma in the kitchen 🥰💞

[@DanielleLaShawn]

Thank you! 🥰

[@yadiaag7771]

I also had the most basic thanksgiving ever. It was so nice. I baked pies and made Mac and cheese and everyone else did their dish with my mom making a turkey. Even my entire family who usually dresses up and everything didn’t care at all and wore sweaters and sweat pants and I felt so comfortable for the first time in ages. So happy

[@DanielleLaShawn]

I love that. A laid back holiday meal is seriously the best.

[@viviannichols3582]

All your homemade items look perfect! No need to apologize taking a few shortcuts, especially when you have little ones running around.

Enjoy watching you. My Thanksgiving was basic this year as well. No guest just husband and daughters. Christmas will also be simple. Love you channel.

I was wondering if you were going to do a Thanksgiving video this year ☺️. I'm doing simple for Christmas.

[@DanielleLaShawn]

I'm going simple for Christmas too. I don't care to be in the kitchen all day. Lol

I was waiting for your Thanksgiving video 😂. I put no pressure on my self as well and was done cooking by 12:30pm.

[@DanielleLaShawn]

Lol, it seems like everyone was trying to get in and out of the kitchen this year. I'm here for normalizing that.

[@kadianmorrison30]

I always flow your thanks giving dinner and I'm doing it this year

[@DanielleLaShawn]

That's such a great compliment. Thank you! I'm glad it's helping you.

[@sc7991]

Really enjoying your cooking video's...I've only made a turkey once and I left the bag of giblets inside..lol..I didn't know that it came with that!!! It was years ago...I am lucky that my husband and kids don't care for turkey so I make crock pot roast for Thanksgiving...I know how to make that it's so easy!! Just lipton soup mix, potatoes, onions and carrots. :) Learning more from your video's...Thanks again!!!

Looks delicious as always. Our Thanksgiving was basic as well (grilled bbq chicken, mac n chz and roasted veggies) and I was totally fine with it. I gotta see if I can find that cinnamon sugar seasoning, those sweet potatoes looked so good girl.

[@DanielleLaShawn]

I linked it in the description box. It's really inexpensive and a really good product.

You Need a recipe for candy yams

[@DanielleLaShawn]

I'm assuming you're saying I need to provide exact measurements. I don't measure. I throw everything in a pan, taste, and adjust.

[@jaymorah]

Do you remember the temperature and duration that you cooked the Mac n cheese and sweet potatoes at?

[@DanielleLaShawn]

For the Mac and cheese, you’re only heating it until it’s bubbling and the cheese is melted. The sweet potatoes take much longer because you’re cooking them from a raw state. I would say they take around 1.5-2 hours if you’re cooking as many as I did.

[@dharmon8798]

Is your stuffing stove top?

[@DanielleLaShawn]

Yep, because only my husband and I eat it so I wasn't about to attempt to make it from scratch. I've actually never made it from scratch before.

[@dharmon8798]

Ok, I understand

[@dianeostertag244]

@@DanielleLaShawn i only use stove top too. I just add a few extra things to it. To make it taste a little bit homemade lol

Turkey roasting in a turkey bag will cut out the basting

[@Chococharm-13]

i get nervous when theres people on thanksgiving like in my family i think there is 12 maybe more but more than 10

[@SS-lg7hq]

I learned from a professional cook that it’s better to actually not cover the turkey at all and not put a lot of stuff on top of it and just let it seal and cook in its natural juices.

[@rainbowbutterfly3133]

[@She_Is_Magical]

Looks great. My Thanksgiving was basic as well and I still didn’t eat much of it. I think for Christmas I will make lasagna with garlic bread and call it a day.

[@DanielleLaShawn]

I'm here for an Italian Christmas. The dishes cook quickly and are delicious but they're also super filling and easy to make.
