Turkey day is only one short week away, so if you still don't have your
menu planned, I suggest you do it now! Here, I've created six fabulous
Thanksgiving menus. From the
foodie to the
novice to the
vegetarian, there's something for everyone.
Thanksgiving may be a traditional holiday, but that doesn't mean you're tied to the same old sides. Reinvent a tired meal with new takes on the classic dish known as mashed potatoes. Try blending other root vegetables into the mix, such as sweet potatoes or turnips.

Many people think that serving your family a classic, delicious
Thanksgiving requires days of work in the kitchen. However, with a little culinary savviness, one can make a complete
meal in a couple of hours. Pick up store-bought snacks to tide over your crowd until turkey time.

An easy way to cut the
budget of your Thanksgiving feast is to make the dinner a potluck. You supply the appetizers, turkey, and one side, then ask the guests to fill in the blanks. Not going overboard on side dishes is another great way to trim costs.
