Turkey Day is almost here and I'm cheating

Written by: Andy Watkins - BusinessDetroit.com Editor

Well this year I'm going to cheat on Thanksgiving. I was sold on the idea of a pre-made Turkey Dinner sold by Boston Market at my neighborhood Kroger store. What a wonderful idea....just heat and eat says the menu. I have to admit I'm a terrible cook if it can't be microwaved then I'm not eating it. Well I'm having everyone over for a Thanksgiving Dinner and I don't want it to be a disaster, so this pre-made Boston Market meal might be the perfect solution.

We will still make the side dishes, so most of the meal will be homemade, just not the Turkey...and really who cares. Turkey Day wouldn't be official without watching the Detroit Lions and now that I will have more time on my hands due to the pre-made Turkey I will have more time to become frustrated watching the good old Detroit Lions.

Holiday Tips:

1. Buy a pre-made Turkey - free up your time and enjoy the holiday - ( Krogers, Boston Market, Honey Baked Ham companies)
2. Time the dinner, so you can watch the Game
3. Pre make the pumpkin pies the night before. They taste much better the next day.
4. Drop cloth under the kids table...trust me it's a great idea.
5. Shop online for Christmas shopping ( Great Deals on line) at these best online picks:
