From Donna Pilato, your Guide to Entertaining
If this will be the first time you host Thanksgiving, don't worry. We've all been there and survived. Enjoy the memories that will be created in your home this year. Have an Entertaining week!

Thanksgiving for Beginners
I can remember the first Thanksgiving I ever cooked. It was a bit overwhelming, to say the least. I had the Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving image in my head which inspired me to seek perfection, but how to accomplish that was a mystery. Just what did I need to do to prepare for this mighty feast? If only I could have turned to A Thanksgiving Primer that laid out the ABCs of this holiday for me to follow.

It's Two Weeks Until Thanksgiving
I'm so excited, Thanksgiving is only two weeks from today. I can taste the dinner already, and feel the anticipation. Now that we're within a time frame where we can really get down to business, it's time to check the lists and make sure our plans are ready to roll. This Two Week Countdown to Hosting Thanksgiving will help you get the details under control.

Easy, Inexpensive Centerpieces You Can Make in a Flash
With a little creativity and an eye toward color, it's not very difficult to create your own centerpieces for Thanksgiving. Here's how to use items that are easy to find at this time of year, and cost much less than a professionally purchased arrangement

Make a Final Check of Your Thanksgiving Supplies
With Thanksgiving arriving next week, you'll want to do everything you can this week to prepare. One of the best timesaving tasks you can do this week is to make sure you have everything you need to cook and serve the big feast.
