This is great. Thank you. I also print a thanksgiving menu. I have them from years ago. I post it so the guests can see it and I check off what is done on day of. I have a small house so I set the table the night before. Get a good night sleep the night before because the next day is busy and you really want to enjoy it. Ask for help in the kitchen! If guests want to help and you have the room, let them come in and roll up their sleeves. Enjoy and be grateful. We have each other. Nothing better.

I love your idea of using the slow cooker to heat the mash potatoes made ahead. What a great idea because using the microwave makes no sense and itโ€™s a no no.

I also heat the gravy on the stove and store in a thermos to free up stove space!

Thanks Babs! About how many people does the gravy recipe serve?

Do you have any recommendations when using an electric roaster for cooking the turkey? Obviously cannot use the pizza stone method. Do you still recommend the double foil layer? What about the rack? Thanks!

Is there an easy way to print this as a whole document or do you need to print each page separately? Would love to print and keep in my holidays binder.
