Wait, what? Thanksgiving is in a week? Okay, okay … don’t panic. We know how crazy life gets, and the last thing you want to do right now is plan and execute a multi-course meal, so we’ll do some of the heavy lifting so you can focus on the fun stuff. And all these products will make it to your front door just in the nick of time.
For starters, think about what to put out to keep your guests munching while you’re putting the finishing touches on the meal. Our goat-to pre-meal snack is the Belle Chevre Goat Cheese and Honey box, with soft, mild goat cheese, exquisite Savannah Bees tupelo honeycomb, and Rutherford & Meyer’s deliciously crisp crackers. Just make sure your guests don’t fill up on this first!
Gotta have biscuits on the dinner table, but making perfect, flaky biscuits can be tricky unless you’re a Southern grandma. Luckily, we have one of those on hand. The Buttermilk and Cheesee & Chive Biscuit combo pack from Callie’s Charleston Biscuits are positively dripping with buttery goodness — but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t slather on a little more, just for good measure.
It’s all about the bird, and this bird is the word. Elmwood Stock Farm family’s Heritage Turkeys get plenty of farm-fresh air, sunlight and room to waddle and play. The result is a turkey that’s plump and deeply flavorful — naturally. It’ll cook evenly (a feat for most holiday birds), and breast and thigh fans alike will swoon over the tender, moist flesh. Your guests will gobble it up.
Thanksgiving is all about the excess, so why not gild the lily a little at dessert? Black Jet Bakery’s got a bead on turning the volume of pecan pie up to 11 by adding chocolate. Yes, you read that right: Chocolate Pecan Pie. Bakers Gillian Shaw and Max Newman share a love of rocking out in the kitchen and turning out bad-ass baked goods. Also? It’s 25% off right now — yours for just $29.95. You know you want it.
There, that’s all the big stuff, right? Then, you can turn your attention to any other sides you want to serve up, even if they do involve marshmallows. It’s okay, we won’t tell.
