Last night I made your minute rice, chicken and rice. Omg it was the best one ever. My son loved it and he's the pickiest eater. Glad I subbed!
Morning cocktails for the chef😂😂😂
I use my gas grill too! : )
I am old with a bad back so standing and cooking is out! I can do some of these ideas well in advance and still enjoy the day with my family. Thanks for the tips! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
So helpful. I always have a large crowd – what an energy saver!
Iktr!! You go girl🤷🏾♀️👌🏾👌🏾I will be doing this Thanksgiving!! I'm not going to be cooking all week. This year🥰
I make almost everything in advance. That's just how I roll. I don't like lots of dishes to wash on the day of the feast. Typically, I will make my sides the day before and keep in the fridge (without the toppings as you suggested). Pies are made before and left out if possible. Dishes and coffee cups out and ready. I like the great tip of prepping the veggies in the bags (I may even do that two days before). I also like to have communion on Thanksgiving day, so I put a special dish next to each place setting with tiny wine glasses and a piece of bread. Then as we reflect on the One we should give all our thanks too, I go around and fill the tiny glasses speaking as I do so. The kids get grape juice.
Your content is so refreshing 😀
2:55 That blanching tip is great but looks so time consuming. I have such little time…
Wow! Never thought of freezing mash potatoes! I'm still afraid to do it, lol.
Yesss Girl Exactly what I am doing!
i really like her she's very pretty, to the point, and overall just has great vibes. definately subscribing!
No nukes for my spuds but crock pot works very well and potatoes stay warm on low throughout the meal.
Very helpful tutorial. Thank you.
Great video
I’ve always heard potatoes taste funny after being frozen.
Three tips:
– a pencil and paper (or electronic device) are your best kitchen tools. Plan: grocery lists, timelines, what dishes go where and when.
– plan for service: set the table a couple days before.
– set out your serving dishes with utensils and place a note on each for what item uses it. This will prevent scrambling for the gravy boat or pie server on Thanksgiving.
Bonus tip for those with children or cats: cover the set table with clean sheets; no cat paw prints in the middle of Aunt Mildred’s plate.
Best part? Morning coctail.
My husband and I are empty nestors and our kids go either to girlfriend's family dinners or friends.. So we just don't care to celebrate Thanksgiving. We give thanks every day.
We don't have a microwave ☹️
I like your style and the way you roll. Sensible and smart.. And, on Thanksging Day, a morning cocktail works.
Peace be with you my friend.
What is the size of your mash dish? Where did you buy? Thank you 😊
I’m insane, and I love cooking all day on Thanksgiving! (I’m so crazy for Thanksgiving that I’m commenting here at the end of May 😆.) The only things I always make the day before are the pies (and I brine the turkey). But I think this year I’m finally doing homemade cranberry sauce, so I’ll do that a day or two before and chill it. 😁
Great tips, Great channel👍🏽💯
Love it, when Nicole "jokes" about drinking..😏
Does doing this change the flavors of the food?
Yay! It’s Nicole and her no nonsense, fantastic tips and common sense.
Great ideas
Thank u👍😊💕
Chicken or ham bullion base is key to any gravy for turkey day. Purists might like flour, but cornstarch may be better. As a thickening agent it reconstitutes faster but requires more water, butter, and stirring. Planning on using drippings still requires seasonings, such as salt and pepper. Milk is also an acceptable additive to an extremely rich gravy.
To recap… Start the turkey early, 6-8 am. In oven, constantly maintain water content, while buttering the bird up. The drippings become stock for gravy, yes, but for mashed potatoes, the water/drippings are solid gold. Don't throw any parts away.
Love your shirt! Where did you find?
For the stuffing…..putting a cold dish in a preheated hot oven….wouldn't that cause a dish to shatter from being cold to going into a hot oven?
Come to Cajun country.
Merlitons with shrimp and ground meat cassorole.
TurDuckin with sausage.
Gravy tip: Forget making gravy with turkey drippings. Roast a duck a week before. Duck fat and drippings make a much, much richer gravy.
Nice
Looks very delicious. The key is the temperature during cooking. so such kitchen thermometer will do much a help. https://youtu.be/YrA9Xg8vPC8
Thank you for this great idea
YOU ARE TOTALLY AWESOME LOVE LOVE YOUR SITE!! AND WONDERFUL TIPS
Chopping all the onions, celery, etc., and making the desserts the day before helps me not want to kill my mother amiright
Great tips
ha! Ha! Come on over Nicole! Mimosa's on me! 😉
No one I know has time to make a fresh pie on the day of thanksgiving, this is the stupidest time saving tip Video so far , as far as vegetables your best friend is the microwave, but making wallpaper glue from overworked mashed potatoes is just not right, simple potatoes in any form is just fine for dinner.
Ohh Yum !!!
There is nothing better than eating a meal and digging into your mashed potatoes and having frozen bits of mashed potatoes with Your Turkey.
I like her 🙌
Smart idea. Thanks for the video!
