WTF To Eat on Thanksgiving Day Before the Big Meal

Published November 21, 2022

Simple snacks that will keep you happy and cooking your heart out

Typically, I start drinking wine before the afternoon on Thanksgiving day. As for food: If I’m at my mom’s, our tradition is to get breakfast sandwiches, which hold us over until we sit down to really eat. This year, I’m cooking at my place for the first time, and I’m actually pretty pumped about it!?

This post is by no means an urge to cook more than you need to on what’s objectively a berserk day; rather, it’s an offering of some fast, easy snacks, which include things that you probably already have in your house, will keep you sated throughout the day, and can be made the day before.
