👩🍳How many side dishes should you have for Thanksgiving?
When it comes to how many side dishes you should have for Thanksgiving, it can vary depending on the number of guests and personal preferences.
Some people think you should have at least two different side dishes for every five people attending your Thanksgiving meal. However, if you're having a larger crowd, you should aim to prepare three different side dishes for every ten people.
💡How to make Thanksgiving dinner easier?
Here are some tips to help make Thanksgiving dinner easier:
- Plan your menu ahead of time, including appetizers, sides, the turkey, and desserts.
- Create a schedule for Thanksgiving preparations, from grocery shopping to cooking each dish.
- Prepare some dishes in advance, like cranberry sauce can be made 3 days ahead of time! You can freeze pie crusts 2 weeks before you need to make the pies.
- Ask family and friends for help! My sister always brings the pies and my sister-in-loves brings her sweet potato casserole.
- et the table the night before Thanksgiving. I actually set my table 2 days ahead of Thanksgiving. Check out a few of my easy Thanksgiving Centerpiece idea!
