For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

It's that time of year again. Time to start looking for some great Thanksgiving dinner recipes. In my family I am in charge of this dinner and I want to satisfy myself and my family. I do this by trying new recipes. This way I'm challenged when time comes to cook, and my family gets their old tried and true Thanksgiving favorites and gets to try some new dishes, some of which may become tried and true too!

It's easy to do an internet search for Thanksgiving menu ideas. If you do this you'll end up with millions of search results, but how do you know you can trust a recipe? There are hundreds of thousands of food blogs out there and frankly, not all the recipes are good. The way you know you can trust a recipe is it's source. It doesn't necessarily have to come from a "food site" but, if it's referenced it should be from a cook book, or other trusted source, such as a well known chef, and that source should be named.

There are some simple tasks you can do to reduce the stress that often comes when planning to cook for a special occasion.

To avoid stress in your kitchen, organize your Thanksgiving dinner recipes in advance. I usually go through my favorite Thanksgiving recipes at least two weeks beforehand, and sort out exactly which Thanksgiving recipe to use this year. I then bookmark this Thanksgiving recipe for easy reference. This curtails any last minute "what am I going to serve" anxieties.

Save Time and Money With Your Thanksgiving Dinner Recipes

Returning to the assortment of selected recipes, try to imagine what all the foods will taste like when served together. At this point, adding or deleting recipes will bring a nice balance to your overall menu planning. Too many recipes with the same basic flavors should be avoided. As you have a moment, while eating breakfast, or relaxing just after dinner review your recipes and prune the list to just what you really want to fix. Keep it simple!
