Like many cooks, I love to share my best kitchen strategies. Here are a few tips for making a successful Thanksgiving meal:

  1. Don’t be stingy with the baster, and your little butterball will all but make its own gravy.

Happy Thanksgiving, dear readers, if any! I’m grateful to be here at Aleteia.
