If you have
no time to cook dinner, you won't have much time to worry about the table. However, set aside 15 minutes to transform your everyday dining table into a beautiful
Thanksgiving table. Cover the table with a cream-colored cloth and brown runner.

As much as I love cocktails made from fresh, seasonal ingredients, sometimes there simply isn't time — especially when you need
Thanksgiving dinner ready in a hurry — to juice 20 blood oranges. The grocery store liquor aisle is crowded with generic and overly-sweet cocktail mixers, but there's one brand I trust for excellent mixers: Stirrings. With their blood orange flavor you can make a quick batch of blood orange bellinis.

If you are in
a hurry for a Thanksgiving dessert, the easiest thing to do is be like
Sandra Lee and take some help from the store. Use a ready-made pie crust, instant pudding mix, and caramel sauce to assemble a delicious turtle pumpkin pie. The recipe calls for cool whipped topping, but it really doesn't take that long to make.

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.

Too busy to think about
Thanksgiving? No worries, this week I'm planning a quick and easy Thanksgiving dinner that requires little effort and minimal stress. With help from the grocery store everything on the menu can be made the day of.
