Most of us have a lot to be thankful for at Thanksgiving. Having food on the table and spending time with family and friends are likely among them, but slaving away in the kitchen all day is usually not at the top of the list. If you want to enjoy a bountiful family feast, but don’t want to hassle with the time and effort it takes to create such a spread, not to worry! If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year, keep it easy and hassle-free with a Thanksgiving feast to go. This way, you can enjoy the day by spending quality time with your little pilgrims instead of with the poultry and potatoes.
