Tips for hosting the big day!

Thanksgiving dinner can be overwhelming to say the least, but it doesn't have to be! Make it a breeze with these clever ideas and tips.

• Plan your menu! Figure out what's on the menu and don't be afraid to ask others to bring a dish.
• Make ahead! If you can make a dish ahead of time do so.
• Serve what you like to eat! If you aren't big on traditional Thanksgiving foods don't feel like you have to eat that. Thanksgiving isn't about the food (although I love it) but really Thanksgiving is about being thankful for your family and friends. It doesn't matter if you do that eating tacos, just enjoy time with each other.
• Do store bought! If I can save minutes spent in the kitchen then I am game. Pick up an already made pie or you could even have the turkey made at a local restaurant.
• Offer snacks! This will help keep your guest busy and occupied while you finish up the inevitable last minute things in the kitchen.
• Occupy the kids! It never fails for the "is it done yet" question to come up. Plan a craft or two to keep the kiddos busy.
• End on a good note! Send your guests home with these yummy squares for a tasty treat.

Just make sure you make enough because they won't last long. Good thing you can save on Nabisco products, visit NABISCO Party Planner and find more themed holiday recipes from NABISCO as well as coupons savings at Publix.
