The biggest cooking day of the year: It’s almost here. If you’re hosting Thanksgiving Day, you’re probably looking for ways to make it go smoothly so you don’t spend the run-up and the day feeling stressed and harried. We have your back!
Before we dive into all things turkey and gravy and stuffing and sides, we wanted to highlight some resources for further learning about Thanksgiving’s roots, and what the day means for the Indigenous people of this country.
While the origins of this national holiday aren’t as straightforward as the stories we all learned growing up, it’s still a special day of gratitude—and a delicious one. For folks who are hosting, we’ve rounded up some resources to help make your Thanksgiving run as smoothly as possible.
