Thanksgiving – how to avoid stress
Thanksgiving is a great holiday time. It brings family togather. With that comes some stress. Can you avoid it?
Ok, so the days of cooking all day on Thanksgiving is quickly becoming a thing of the past. No one wants to miss hanging out with the family, so they turn to some easy options for ordering in. Which are the best though? There are quite a few choices out there for ordering a precooked Thanksgiving dinner in. Here are some recommendations for a fully cooked meal perfect for Thanksgiving. There may be minimal heating required, but that is nothing compared to washing a raw turnkey and basting it for 6 hours while it cooks!
1. Honey Baked Ham
Ok, Honey Baked Ham is nationwide. If you do not have one in your town, due the small size of your town, you can easily order a fully cooked Thanksgiving dinner with all of the trimmings on their website at www.honeybakedham.com. Now, I only thought that Honey baked Ham made massive hams for extremely large families. I was wrong. They sell everything from ready to eat prime rib to turkey dinners for two. Nothing beats the original Honeybaked ham though. You can buy everything form dinner rolls, side dishes, and dessert on their website an din their stores. I recommend ordering early whether you are purchasing your pre made Thanksgiving dinner online or in the store. Honeybaked Ham is hugely popular due to the awesome products they provide.
2. Omaha Steaks
Ok, everyone knows about this awesome online store for steaks. Their products are extremely high quality and satisfaction is guaranteed. Now, Omaha Steaks sells a lot of other food besides the traditional steaks they are known for. You are not going to find a traditional turkey on the website, but just as the days of cooking all morning are disappearing, so are the days of only serving turkey at Thanksgiving. You can buy a smoked boneless turkey and ham here. Last year I had BBQ ribs at two different homes for Thanksgiving.
3. Sandy’s Kitchen:
In Salt Lake City and surroundings, there is one more option. Sandy’s Kitchen has started serving Thanksgiving dinner turkey with sides and ham with sides. All precooked – just warm and you are ready. Minimal dishwashing – may be use just disposables.
Check the website. It will be economical to buy from here than buying all the stuff and then cooking.
