Thanksgiving is all about time together. Time reconnecting, sharing family news, going back for seconds, and for some it means sneaking out after dinner to catch a movie or hit the door-buster deals. It’s a day loved ones can make up for time apart and for others to make new connections. This Thanksgiving reclaim your time and make it stress free and easy. Whether you are hosting a lunch, late afternoon affair, or dinner, order your Thanksgiving dinner to go!
You will be amazed at the plethora of packages available and how unique the sides can be! The options are endless and you can actually spend time with family and not stuck in the kitchen loathing the clean-up. Impress your guests with that beautiful, perfect turkey and actually toss that apron “before” they arrive.
Thanksgiving will be celebrated on Thursday, November 28, 2024.
