Ah, Thanksgiving—the one day a year when it’s totally acceptable to wear stretchy pants and indulge in pie for breakfast! But let’s face it, planning the perfect Thanksgiving feast can be as challenging as finding the last piece of pie in a family of pie lovers. Fear not! We’ve got your back with wise and downright fun guide to a stress-free Thanksgiving. Let’s dive in!
1. Plan Ahead (Like a Pie-Planning Pro)
The Early Bird Gets the Pie!
Start your planning at least two to three weeks in advance. Make a menu, write a shopping list, and check it twice (just like Santa). Decide if you want to do all the cooking or if you’d rather let someone else handle the heavy lifting—like us at Tootie Pie! We’ve got all the pie you could ever want, so you can focus on the turkey (and not burning it)!
2. Delegate, Don’t Dread!
Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!
Don’t be a lone turkey! Enlist your family and friends to help. Assign dishes to your guests and encourage them to bring their A-game. Aunt Sally’s famous cranberry sauce? Yes, please! Cousin Jake’s questionable stuffing? Maybe not! LOL Remember, a little help goes a long way—plus, it keeps the kitchen from turning into a disaster zone.
3. Set the Scene (Without Going Overboard)
Make It Insta-Worthy!
You don’t need to be Martha Stewart to set a fabulous table. A few simple touches—a pretty tablecloth, some festive napkins, and a centerpiece (pumpkins, anyone?)—can do wonders. Add some fairy lights for sparkle, and voila! You’ve created a cozy Thanksgiving vibe that’s ready for your family’s food selfies. (For extra points, tag us @TootiePieCo and we'll share them on our page too!)
4. Keep the Drinks Flowing
Sip, Sip, Hooray!
No Thanksgiving is complete without drinks! Whether you’re serving up sparkling cider, a signature cocktail, or the classic sweet tea, make sure everyone stays hydrated (and slightly tipsy). Just remember to keep the kids’ cups far from Uncle Bob’s secret stash of “holiday cheer.”
5. Don’t Forget the Pies!
The Real Thanksgiving MVPs!
What’s Thanksgiving without Tootie Pie? Whether you’re craving our Huge Apple, Whiskey Pecan, or a festive Pumpkin Pie, we’ve got you covered. Order your pies ahead of time and let us take care of the stress. You’ll be the hero of the table with delicious desserts that everyone will fight over!
6. Take Time to Relax
Breathe, You’ve Got This!
Amidst the turkey roasting and pie slicing, take a moment to breathe. Put on some cozy tunes, dance around the kitchen, and remind yourself why you’re doing this: to gather with loved ones, share stories, and indulge in delicious food. A little gratitude goes a long way, so lift a glass and toast to family, friends, and, of course, pie!
7. Leftovers Are Your Friends
Pie for Breakfast? Yes, Please!
Once the festivities wind down, don’t forget to embrace those glorious leftovers. Make a turkey sandwich, whip up some savory casseroles, and of course, enjoy a slice (or two) of pie for breakfast. It’s like a second Thanksgiving—just without the stress!
Thank you for choosing Tootie Pie to be a part of your Thanksgiving celebration. With our pies and these tips in your back pocket, you’re all set for a holiday filled with laughter, love, and deliciousness. Happy Thanksgiving, and may your pies be ever in your favor!
