Can I cook an entire Thanksgiving spread from scratch? Absolutely.
Did I let my good friend help me out this year? Also absolutely. 😂
No explanation needed… but here’s mine anyway: no family visiting, I worked the day before and the day after, and my kids ate mac & cheese, dinner rolls, a few bites of turkey, and ice cream. So yeah — ordering was the move.
What I loved:
• Turkey was flavorful and not dry 🙌
• Veggies came par-cooked so they didn’t turn to mush when reheated
• Mashed potatoes were super creamy
• Pumpkin cheesecake… 10/10, shockingly good
What I didn’t love:
• Stuffing was a little too wet for my taste
• Definitely could’ve used more mashed potatoes
• Didn’t see any reheating instructions
What I tweaked/added:
• Added a cup of chicken broth to the turkey tray to keep it juicy
• Stirred butter + heavy cream into the mash
• Lots of pepper + a little salt to the gravy
• Crispy onions on the green beans and mac for crunch
• Brushed the dinner rolls with garlic butter and warmed in the oven
• Made a small ham, crescent rolls, and cranberry sauce
• Grabbed vanilla ice cream + whipped cream for dessert
All in all? Great value, tasty meal, and (stuffing aside) I’d 100% order it again. 💜
