Thanksgiving should be all about spending time with family and friends, enjoying the change from summer to fall. It is about indulging in great food, not stressing about the possibility of chaos and the desire to send guests packing, leftovers in tow.
To help keep headaches at bay, here are some suggestions to help ensure this thanksgiving runs smoother than gravy.
Be a Mixologist: Not at the bar, in the kitchen! The KitchenAid standmixer, now available in chic liquid graphite makes mixing ingredients for the main event, or dessert, a breeze.

Prepare the Perfect Bird: Be it a turkey day or shine, the right tools are needed to ensure perfection. A large roaster with a lid that doubles as a shallow roasting pan, saute pan or even an attractive serving dish, meat thermometer and sharp carving knife are definite essentials.
