Thanksgiving Dinner Essentials for the Holiday Host

I remember my first Thanksgiving at my house with my family.  It was a NIGHTMARE!  I was very unprepared and burnt almost everything (some of them twice!).  I didn’t have enough hot plates and service utensils.  Table cloths – what were those?  We barely had enough plates and almost resorted to paper!  I had some family members bringing Mexican food and side dishes that were NOT part of your typical Thanksgiving feast.  Have you ever had seven layer dip next to roasted turkey with cranberry dressing?  Ummm…..yummy…. no!

If I had a do-over of my first Thanksgiving at my house, I would be stocking up on the following list.  I would appear so prepared, no one would notice the burnt marshmallows on top of my sweet potatoes, or the overcooked turkey that was falling apart!  At least I would look good in my Flirty Apron and my dishes would match (smile).
