(CHARLOTTE  NC)– If feeding the family everyday is a challenge, hosting Thanksgiving dinner can seem like an Olympic feat. To help home cooks create a serene celebration, SavingDinner.com is offering a free Thanksgiving Menu-Mailer.

The Thanksgiving Menu-Mailer is more than just a collection of recipes. This guide includes a categorized shopping list and convenient timeline, a key secret to orchestrating a successful gathering. The two-week countdown carves holiday preparations into bite-sized pieces to take the dread out of the big day. From table linens and serving ware to Pumpkin Cheesecake with a Gingersnap Crust, Leanne offers do-ahead ideas for simplifying the Thanksgiving meal.

“Our free Thanksgiving Menu-Mailer takes the intimidation out of making turkey dinner so everyone can relax and enjoy the holiday, including the cook,” says Leanne, syndicated columnist, talk show host and author of Saving Dinner for the Holidays. From Muzzie’s Fabulous Stuffing to the Orange Cranberry Sauce, the line-up of traditional favorites emphasize good taste and cooking ease to keep the focus on fun and family connection.

The Thanksgiving Menu-Mailer is chocked full with practical advice, coaching cooks through every step in the kitchen with hints like these:

1. Think of your turkey as a big chicken. It’s not hard to cook chicken, so why should a turkey be any different?

2. Turkeys are easy when you don’t stuff them. Since stuffing absorbs the turkey’s juice, the bird dries out, and the gravy suffers.

3. Don’t bother basting. Once the turkey is in the oven, the skin seals itself. Opening and closing the oven door to baste a sealed turkey is a waste of time and heat. That heat loss leads to longer cooking times, the true cause of dry meat.
