Thanksgiving is the beginning of a very stressful time of year. Yes, we are supposed to remember the reason for the season. We need to enjoy fun times with our family. We are supposed to remember what we are thankful for. We want to have great family memories.

There is a lot of preparation. For the whole holiday season, of course. There is also a lot to be done just for Thanksgiving. If you are the one hosting it you have a lot to do. You have to make sure the house is clean. You have to do a lot of shopping. Do you have enough chairs for everyone?

Will there be a lot of kiddos that can spill and ruin your carpet? There is a lot to go into that one day. Even if you do your Thanksgiving more like a potluck where everyone pitches in there is still a lot of stress on you the host.

I am all for limiting as much stress as humanly possible. There is a lot of work for just one day. So, I am a big fan of letting someone else do the cooking. I have had Cracker Barrel prepare my Thanksgiving for the past several years.

I am a fan of not having to do it all. This year I am cooking it all because my daughter wants to learn how to prepare for Thanksgiving. If it wasn't for that I would be ordering my meal again. It is that nice. I mean you still have to heat it up but it cuts down preparation so much.

Who Has a Prepared Thanksgiving Meal Ready for You?

  • Cracker Barrel - I have to start with them because I have used them for several years. You have to preorder and I always pick up several days before Thanksgiving so I avoid everyone else rushing to pick up their meal. They give great instructions on how to heat and serve. Pretty stress free.
  • Edes Custom Meats - You need a turkey? Ham? Or a great steak? Edes has your back and even has side and dessert options.
  • Rooster - They don't provide the turkey but their sides and other holiday meals like breakfasts can't be beaten.
  • Girasol - You can choose ham or Beef Wellington to be served at your dinner table. You can choose your sides and don't forget to add a dessert.
  • United Supermarkets - While you are getting your weekly shopping done don't forget to stop by the concierge and order your stress-free Thanksgiving. All you have to do is heat it up.
  • Calico County - Order your Turkey Day meal from Calico County. They have plenty of sides to choose from and don't forget you can get their cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls. That is a win.
  • Macaroni Joe's - I didn't even know that they provided a Thanksgiving Meal. It looks pretty good.
  • Brent's Cafe - They do sell out so get your order in right away. Your turkey meal can be this easy.
  • Delvin's - I haven't seen them post anything this year on their Facebook page but they usually do a Thanksgiving meal that sells out fast. That is how good they are. So I will keep my eye out on this one.

So as you see you have plenty of choices if you want to make this year a stress-free Thanksgiving Dinner. Well as much as it can be stress-free. We can't control keeping Uncle Eddy from having a bit too much to drink.

Your preparations can at least be easier and tasty.
