We love entertaining and we especially love hosting our friends and family during the holiday season. For Thanksgiving we typically host 25 - 30 people and these recipes are tried and true and fit the bill when feeding a larger crew. These are a combination of some McQuaid and McCormick classic dishes and are served most every Thanksgiving with so much love in our home.
A little tip is once I get everything cooked, cooled and covered with foil, I like to write what each dish is on the foil along with any further directions needed for the day of cooking prior to storing them in the refrigerator.
Hopefully some of these recipes and tips help make planning your turkey day a little easier. Happy Thanksgiving!!
