So…it is possible you might be saying to your wifeself, “what kind of turkey do I get?” From one wife to another, let me make a recommendation, a Butterball TURKEY! A butterball is always so juicy and always looks delicious. Even better, the Butterball website is FULL (and I mean FULL) of helpful hints! They will help you make your first WIFE Turkey dinner look like you have done it a 1000 times!

Butterball also has a turkey help line. it is the Butterball Turkey-Talk Line! Where all your pressing turkey questions get answered! Don’t know how long to cook it? Don’t know what to add to your roasting pan? Don’t know what size roasting pan you need? Call 1-800-BUTTERBALL.

Another GREAT tool (which is something this wife has used personally) is there Butterball Checklist! Print it off, hang it on your fridge and let it guide you to your perfect meal!

On their site, Butterball also provides us wives with a list of seasonal tools we should have around the kitchen.

Although it may be hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is only 20 DAYS AWAY! This wife is busy busy planning the perfect Thanksgiving Feast and of course I will share all the goody wifey details; and not just any details 20 DAYS of wonderful wife turkey delight! Your hubby will be so impresses!

So the TURKEY countdown begins; and here are three things you should do first.

pd_turkey_dinner_071120_ms1)  If you plan on eating a turkey, then ORDER your Turkey! Many grocery stores or specialty meat stores will allow you to order in advance to assure you get a fresh turkey (at your requested number of pounds).

2) Plan your wondeful menu. If you know what you plan to serve in advance you can start watching the ads and cutting coupons. You can buy up on things like green beans or potatoes or corn! So not only will you have a wonderful wifey dinner, you will have one that didn’t break the wife bank (which means you can buy a new pair of wife shoes for this big special occasion ;)

3) Plan your table decor! My favorite wife part all the decorative details! More to come!
