Timing is everything with preparing for your Thanksgiving meal. This is a delicious recipe for corn bread dressing. You can buy the ingredients for this corn bread dressing several days before the meal. You should make the corn bread the day before and let it dry out overnight. When it comes to cooking a big meal, it is best to plan ahead. This dressing goes great with cranberry couilis.

Here are more tips to planning your Thanksgiving meal:
Three to five days before: Go grocery shopping for all of your ingredients. Begin to defrost the turkey in the refrigerator. Make the cranberry coulis.
Two days before: Get your house ready. Yes, this means cleaning the kitchen, living room, and bathrooms.
The day before: Rinse the greens and place in baggies with paper towels and refrigerate. Make corn bread and let dry overnight. Make the desserts (Tarte Tatin). Set the table.
The morning of Thanksgiving: Fry bacon for cannellini beans. Make the mashed potatoes. Roast the turkey.
With a little planning, cooking the Thanksgiving meal won’t seem overwhelming. Taking baby steps to a huge delicious feast is the way to go.
