Stuffing

1. This weekend should be the beginning of stomach stretching to prepare.

2.You need to clear out your fridge of the existing food to make room for Thanksgiving leftovers.

3. You need to test some new recipes. Then you need to eat the whole thing, because you need the pan for the real thing.

4. It is very difficult to scale down your recipes for those Thanksgiving sides. If your gathering is limited due to Covid, you should still make the same amount of food as if it wasn't.

Start early. Increase your meal portions at the beginning of the week. Each day, eat bigger meals and get used to eating while you're full. By Thursday you will be able to reach for that extra plateful of food, even when it feels like you're stuff to the brim.

Thursday afternoon you will feel like you never need to eat again, and by Thursday evening you will be grabbing leftovers and a couple pieces of pie!
