The Easiest Way to Prepare an Entire Thanksgiving Meal Start to Finish!

Seriously, is ur mom ex military? I was in the Army, in my twenties and my OCD served me well. I had no problem being ordered to roll my socks into 4” balls or hv my locker all “dress right dress”. I thought it was funny that my behavioral disorder made rigid details “an everyday thing -normal”. Thanks for all the work you and your Mom did. It’s funny cuz I hadn’t completely watched all of this video, as I wrote the first part , so… when your Mom showed her To Do list, I lol. I do that too❣️ When I am doing a complicated meal, with lots of components, I create a time line that runs backwards. I start with #1 when I want to serve or eat, then cook times for each item. I write a draft first so I can more easily pencil in the time line, adjusting along the process. Then, you can put each item onto a chronological ordered To Do list. I keep a Master Copy for future reference, when cooking large proteins like Prime Rib, Smoking a Pork Butt or cooking a whole Turkey. It all sounds kindda complicated, but for me it reduces a lot of stress and frustration. You only hv to figure it out one time, then those “directions” will guide any future efforts. Cooking for two or for 20 doesn’t have to be stressful, if you “try” to plan away the stressful parts. We aren’t born knowing how to cook, or clean, or garden. We hv to learn from our mistakes and keep the desire to try differently next time. 🙂

You should have your mom join you in your videos more often. She has so many great ideas and she is a very calming influence. Puts me at ease and helps me chill. Preparing and hosting a big dinner on can be very stressful, but it helps if you deep breathe from the diaphragm and slow down your delivery of speech and recognize that it will all get done regardless of whether you spin like a top in a frenzy or chill like a leader in charge who gets things done calmly and methodically.

I miss my mom so very much. She and I did all the Holliday shopping, prep, baking and cooking together every Holliday. She passed on to the other side 17 yrs ago. Hollidays sure are not the same.

[@karenlawson4888]

I am the queen of lists and I bow down to your Mama’s organization skills!! This is a great video, I loved seeing you and your Mama working together to bless your families with a delicious feast! I do miss working in sync with my Mama, but I do so love working with my daughters! We each have our specialties that we bring to share. You were pondering why you only think to eat stuffing once a year…it’s so you have something special to look forward to! There are several dishes and desserts that we save for only Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love that one of my daughter’s MIL decided long ago to celebrate their holidays the weekend prior to holidays. I think she was really forward thinking in that most woman go to their Mama’s for holidays, so she enjoys her son’s families every year even if it is a week early! This has worked great for our kids’ Friendsgiving feasts, too. When my Mama passed away, my sisters and I had to figure out how to recreate her specialties. So, I have in my recipe notebook not only my recipes, shopping and ingredients all listed out, every year I make notes of what worked well, what didn’t, ideas to try next year and any tweaks done or ideas I want to remember for next year. And, not to be morbid, but should I leave this earth unexpectedly, I hope that my notes will be a comfort and a prompt for good memories of past years. Oh, and I am going to start charting timetables like your Mama does, too! Thanks for sharing!!

[@cq8822]

I started to try new recipes for Thanksgiving and Christmas and that was a big Knogo from my kids. They absolutely love their traditional food that my mom made and that I made and they do not like it when I try to change it. 😁 I am with you though cooking with my mom was wonderful and now cooking with my daughters is so special and I have a son-in-law that joins in the cooking.

[@LuzKaplanmusic]

This video is an amazing lesson on how to throw any kind of event or party. It's pure gold.

Love from Argentina as always.

I think your mom did great on the video - first time I've seen her. I really like how organized you both are and that what you do makes so much sense. A lot of people fly by the seat of their pants and that doesn't work for me -- I sometimes get roasted for being organized but doesn't stop me. Just nice to see others that plan ahead.

[@karlapaonessa3263]

I think for as long as you choose to be a KZbinr, I will watch, primarily because I so appreciate that when something doesn't turn out just right, YOU STILL SHARE IT. I love that! Real home cooks have things that don't turn out perfectly and they get to learn from that. I mean, don't get me wrong...you get much more right and much more right than I do, but it was encouraging to see real life results. Makes me less fearful of trying. Thank you so much for sharing things like your rolls that are slightly less than spectacular.

I buy Stove top stuffing by the case from Costco. I get two cs which last me one year. I sauté celery, onion and garlic in the butter (amount recommended on the pkg). Add some poultry seasoning for that extra holiday flavoring. Then toss in bread crumbs and cook as directed. Every time we go to Costco or Sam’s Club, we get 1 or 2 rotisserie chickens. I always fix Stove Top and pull out cranberry sauce from the freezer or a can from the pantry. So yes, you can enjoy stuffing all year long. 🥰🥰

OMGOODNESS, ya'll are incredibly organized!! I would love for Susan to do a breakdown of her cooking schedule on Thanksgiving Day. Thank you for sharing this!! Happy Holidays 😊

[@tiffanydavis4331]

I love how you and your mother work together 💕. Alot of families don't do this anymore. So enjoyed your video and the blessing and the end!

I totally enjoy watch u and your mother in the kitchen. Your mother is a good organizer military oriented. I have a daughter a lil older than u but did not like to cook or bake when she was younger. Now she has 2 daughters of her own and is teaching them. I used every chance I got during summer vacations with me their Nana to teach them when they were lil. Now they enjoy sharing this time with their mom. You and your mom need to do more videos.

I love the organization your mom has from grocery list to table. My family doesn't do Thanksgiving since mom died, they just do their own things. Christmas is never on Dec 25th, but we do get together, but we never have a sit down meal, it's usually finger food or gumbo. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone & God Bless you all. 💜

Om gosh, I thought my mother was the only person who put tags in her serving dishes. She also had a mini notepad that she wrote everything on. She too went backwards from time wanted to eat. Great moms think alike!!

[@MrsRedAng]

Wow you ladies are so impressive! And make a great tag team! Your parents have a lovely home. That looks like such a delicious Thanksgiving dinner!!!! Thank you for sharing 🦃🦃🦃

[@dawnmontoya4444]

I love your mom popping in every times she needed to add something. That is like me when my hubby is on FaceTime with family or friends!!!

I loved learning about your family’s traditions . They remind me of our family, who also celebrate on a day other than the holiday. It’s all about the sharing and love. Thanks for opening up your lives to us. AND, your mom is delightful. It is great to get to know her. I can see why you are the woman you have become.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video ! It's really inspiring ! For the pumpkin pie, to make it even easier you can make your pumpkin puree ahead by simply cutting it in half and baking it in the oven at 350°F (cut side down) for 40-60 min. Then I just keep it in the freezer and take it out the day before or in the morning.

[@sarahmellouk3754]

Is that really all pumpkin puree is? To make it too, just cut in half, put facedown on pan & roast. Thats it?!? Lol. All this darn time ive wasted, wishing to find canned pumpkin puree & i couldve made it, sigh smh. Lol.

[@MrsOhlalaland]

@@sarahmellouk3754 i thought the exact same thing when I found out about this hack. I just make a bunch of pumpkin when it’s the season and then I have pumpkin puree for the rest of the year. If the puree is too runny, you just have to put it in a strainer and let the extra moisture drip. I freeze it flat in a ziplock bag.

Felt the same when I realised oat milk was just oats blended with water, applesauce was pureed steamed apple chunks. And now pumpkin puree has also been demystified, thanks to you!

@@sarahmellouk3754 Indeed, then add the appropriate spices for the pie filling to that puree and put it into a pie shell and you have pie, once you've baked it. This way, you aren't having to cut, deseed, then bake before it gets pureed and can lessen the rush/stress of baking a lot of things in one day. It's amazing how many things you can do parts of the day before, or at times, weeks before and simply freeze, and one of those is the pie dough if not mistaken, just wrap in Saran Wrap, then into a freezer bag and freeze, once you make into a "hockey puck" shape before wrapping, or simply lay it on plastic wrap, then grab the plastic and form the pucks with it before wrapping up, saves a step there.
