Here are some suggestions for dealing with those delicious, pesky leftovers.

Open on Thanksgiving in Athens, Ga.

You need to get your reservations in ASAP.

  Maybe you can't face drying out another turkey and wondering, once again, what you're going to do with that greasy carcass?

Thanksgiving Side Dishes--Fast and Easy

These recipes are even kid friendly.

There is no holiday during which I feel more blessed than on Thanksgiving. This is, in (large) part, because I am not required to cook a single thing the entire day. In order to ease my guilt, I’ve accepted the task of helping those of you who are less fortunate by sharing some super-easy side dishes. Having hosted Christmas dinner last year, I know that adequately roasting a large bird is quite enough in and of itself. Indeed, if you are roasting a bird, do yourself a favor and don’t plan to put anything else in the oven that should cook at a different temperature.

Are You Ready for Thanksgiving 2012?

Would you believe, it's only two weeks from tomorrow to Thanksgiving and with it the traditional beginning of the Christmas season. If you haven't started planning for Thanksgiving yet, you're already in trouble, according to the website Epicurious. It suggests a six week prep time if you want to do the holiday justice. Are you prepared for Thanksgiving 2012? And more importantly, in what has been a very contentious year, what is it that you can be most thankful for this year?
