You’ve got this! Yes, you can confidently host Thanksgiving this year. Even a novice can create a lovely feast with our FREE Thanksgiving for Beginners eBook! Complete with recipes, shopping list and a preparation schedule to help you navigate Thanksgiving dinner and enjoy the day.
If you have never hosted a dinner before it can seem a little intimidating. And, Thanksgiving dinner may seem like an even greater challenge. It sounds like a lot of preparation and work with little rest for the cook.
Thanksgiving or Beginners
Making it easier
In the eBook, Thanksgiving for Beginners, you will find a complete menu with recipes for each food item. The dishes are simple and not over complicated and therefore, not overwhelming.
Traditional Thanksgiving Menu
To make it easier and still delicious, the menu is a traditional one. It features the famous foul, Roasted Turkey along with seasonal side dishes. Thanksgiving for Beginners includes my all-time favorite stuffing, orange whipped sweet potatoes, homemade applesauce, homemade cranberry sauce, and Colonial inspired succotash. For dessert, a perfect finish with a cranberry apple crisp that will leave your guests thanking you and counting their blessings!
Make ahead
To alleviate stress, several of the dishes can be made the day before or even sooner. On the big day, all that is required with make-ahead dishes is to reheat or simply fill serving bowls and place on the table.
Where to start
Thanksgiving for Beginners includes a grocery store shopping list. Take it along with you when you head to the store. So you won’t be caught unprepared, there is a check list of equipment and utensils that will help make cooking go smoothly.
How to proceed
Perhaps the biggest help in Thanksgiving for Beginners is the detailed Preparation Schedule. A list of to-do items beginning three weeks before right up to Thanksgiving day. The eBook will walk you through all the steps so, you too, can enjoy your family and friends to have a Happy Thanksgiving day.

Oh, yes, Lorraine. This is perfect. I still remember the first big Thanksgiving dinner I prepared all by myself for relatives. I made it so hard compared to how easy it seems today. Lovely post for newbies and not-so-new hosters. xo Diana
I could have used something like this way back when I first started doing Thanksgiving dinner
Thank you, Lorraine. This will be a happy addition to my collection of useful ideas. It looks beautiful, too!
