If cooking a Thanksgiving meal is the one thing you don’t want to do this year, order a to-go feast from one of these great restaurants in the Rockford area instead.
Reasons Not to Cook a Thanksgiving Feast
Some people find joy spending the day in a hot kitchen preparing multiple dishes for the people they love on Thanksgiving. I am not one of those people.
I’m the woman who brings the Great Harvest Bread or turkey-shaped cheese, meat, and cracker tray, while my husband bakes one of the turkeys to bring to the family meal.
To me, cooking Thanksgiving dinner looks like a full-contact sport. You’ve got a massive bird that takes up all the oven space, fifteen different sides that somehow all need to be heated at 350 degrees, and then there are all the dishes that need to be cleaned before you pass out in a chair. No thank you…
