Want Some Help With Thanksgiving Dinner?

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Are you hosting this year? Maybe you love to cook but are realizing you’re just not going to have time to prep everything. Or, cooking is absolutely not your jam but somehow you were wrangled into hosting and you’re not really sure what you’re going to do. Not hosting, but you’ve been assigned to bring something and now you’re in a panic? We’re here to help! Well, several area grocers and restaurants are here to help, not us. We love our friends and clients but we’re not going to cook your Thanksgiving dinner. Let’s take a look at some places that will.

Whether you need the whole meal or just a side dish or two, Kowalski's has you covered. Excited to make the turkey but don’t want to have to do all the sides, too? For $219.99, you can get a raw turkey with all the sides, from mashed potatoes to dressing and dinner rolls. They even include the roasting pan for the turkey. For a smaller group, you can get a fully cooked turkey with all the sides, just smaller portions, for $149.99. Or, go a la carte and choose the side or sides you want to bring. Bonus! You can put the side in your own dish before you show up if you want to avoid the side eye from your sister-in-law.

Keeping it cozy and looking for a meal to serve 4-6 people? Check out Surly Brewing! For $225, you'll get three pounds of smoked turkey plus all the fixings, including green bean casserole, maple glazed carrots and wild rice stuffing. Plus! A 750 mL bottle of Feastbeir, a barrel-aged weizenbock.

Red Cow is offering up a spread for 5-7 people. You'll get roasted turkey, truffled green bean casserole (fun twist!), butter pecan sweet potatoes and so much more, all for $264! You also have the option of ordering beverage kits, in case you want some help with your old fashioneds or you want to try a lavender revolution mocktail. Yum!

Did you tell people you would bring the pies? And then realized you have neither the time nor the inclination to bake them yourself? Lucky for you, Parlour Bar has you covered. You can order Pumpkin Pie or Double Crust Apple. Or both. You should probably get both, don't you like your family? Wait, you probably shouldn't answer that. The Apple Pie looks especially gorgeous and well with the $28 price tag.

It’s still early and all the options aren’t out there yet, but rest assured there will be plenty of places to check out for your Thanksgiving Meal needs. Hopefully this helps take some of the worry out of how you’re going to get it all done. Enjoy the holiday and remember your friends at VIBE Realty if someone mentions they’re interested in buying or selling a home, or you have an extra slice of pie!
