I know that everyone loves the dessert table, and I do too, but I am also a huge fan of the main course and all those yummy side dishes. I can’t resist the various potatoes, stuffings, and meats. Who can?

20 Traditional Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes

If you are hosting Thanksgiving Dinner this year, I wanted to give you a few pointers to help it be as stress-free as possible. Take a look at these tips to help you:

• Figure out how many people you will be serving. It’s important to know how many people there are going to be, so you can adjust the amount of food you need. Most of the recipes can be adjusted for serving size to save you some time and not have to do a bunch of math. Just click on the number of servings in the recipe card and adjust the number for whatever you need.
• Prepare a giant grocery list. Go through your cabinets and figure out what you already have and what you need. Having an organized grocery list will help this not seem so daunting.
• Meal prep any of the food that you can. Dicing fruits and veggies can be done ahead of time. There are foods that can be made in advance and reheated when it’s almost time to eat. Trust me; you are going to want to do this to save yourself a headache the morning of.
• Delegate duties to other family members. You don’t have to do everything yourself. Put someone in charge of the salad, desserts, or other dishes, so you don’t have to make them all. There is NO shame in this!
