How do i make a nice thanksgiving feast when I cant cook?
Ok thanksgiving is next week, my original plan was to go home, but instead I am stuck on this island. I cant cook worth crap!!! Everything I attempt to cook I destroy somehow. I am originally from the south and I like southern food when it comes to thanksgiving. What can I cook that isnt too complex, but yet tastes really good?

If you are alone why not try the turkey cutlets that Rachel Raye made the other day they looked like some my mom made.

i suggest getting precooked items that only need reheating. also box dishes that come with easy directions. then just add spices to make it more homemade tasting.

Is it just you? How about roasting a chicken? Take a 2-3 pound chicken, chean it and put it in a roasting pan. Pour olive oil all over it. Season it with salt and pepper. Put it in an oven at 350*F. While it’s cooking baste it (brush the drippings on it) about every 15 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, peel some potatoes. About 2 med size potatoes per person. Cut into cubes. Put in pot, cover with water add about a quarter of teaspoon of salt per serving (1/4 tsp for every 2 potatoes) Bring to boil until soft. ( about 20 minutes) Drain water. Add lots of butter (about 2 Tablespoons per serving) and a little milk. Mash (or mix with electric mixer) Add as much milk until it’s to the consistancy you like your potatoes. Cover with a lid. Pull out your chicken after the legs turn easily. Pull chicken out and take drippings and put into a small saucepan.Take about 1-2 Tablespoons of flour and mix or whisk to about 1/2 cup water. Bring drippings to a boil. Add the flour mixture and return to boil until you have desired thickness for gravy season with salt and pepper. Add a veggie (can buy frozen that you microwave) and viola you have dinner! Buy a pumpkin pie and some cool whip or whatever you want for dessert! Enjoy!!!

You can order Thanksgiving feast from Chicken Out.
Just don’t buy processed foods. I don’t eat anything from Kraft. Most process foods are genetically modified like soy, corn, and wheat. So I’d throw out those processed foods.
