Spend more time with your loved ones and less time in the kitchen. I like ordering the Complete Thanksgiving dinner from Omaha Steaks. You get everything you see here, like a Whole Basted Turkey, 3 sides, a Pumpkin Pie and a free pair of Silicone-Tipped Tongs for only $160. They’re a fifth-generation, family owned company, and Omaha Steaks is known for the finest in premium beef and gourmet foods and they are turning 100 this year. Just go to OmahaSteaks.com, call or visit one of their 70 retail stores to order.

The holidays aren’t complete without the classic green bean casserole made with French’s Crispy Fried Onions. You can use them to easily add flavor and crunch to any of your favorite dishes, like mashed potatoes. Or add a twist and some serious spice with French’s Crispy Jalapenos. I use them in my Jalapeno Mac n Cheese or this Cheesy Bacon Jalapeno Popper Dip. Head to frenchs.com/Friendsgiving to get the recipes.

Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven
As you are using your oven to make the turkey this year, why not create your appetizers in this Air Fryer Toaster Oven from Cuisinart. It is a premium full-size toaster with 7 separate functions, including bake, broil, and toast. I’ve made these Southern Style Barbecue Chicken Wings with the air frying setting. It uses powerful ultra-hot air to make healthier fried foods without any oil. Click here to learn more.

And we can’t forget dessert. Tastykake offers quick, simple treats for holidays or everyday occasions from the great tasting Butterscotch Krimpets to delicious peanut butter Kandy Kakes. They also have Cake Chips that combines the crunch of a chip with the sweetness of cake. You can enjoy these treats right out of the package, set up a dessert tray, or for a different twist, I used the krimpets and cake chips to create this delicious tiramisu. Click here to learn more!
