This practical Thanksgiving hack makes holiday dinner planning a cinch

Your Thanksgiving is about to get a whole lot more organized.

Hosting the holiday dinner can be overwhelming — a fact that has inspired TikTok user @victoriafoxco to share her tips and tricks on the platform to help people prepare.

She shared what she deemed her “most important” tip in part three of her Thanksgiving prep series: a spreadsheet.

“Every year, I make a spreadsheet that houses my recipes, my ingredients and my guest list,” she revealed.

The first tab of her spreadsheet contains her recipes where she list all the dishes that will be served in one column, and subsequent columns for cook time, bake time, oven temperature, and what dish the food will be cooked and served in.

Having all of this information in one place can help ensure that everything is done in a timely manner, and likely even speed up the process.

The next tab is her grocery list, where she puts all the dishes she plans to serve with their ingredients listed.

She then goes through her pantry and fridge and crosses out the items she already owns, then makes a master grocery list from there.

The third tab contains the guest list, which can help determine how many plates, glasses and silverware you may need, as well as how many servings of each dish you should prepare.

For all the “spreadsheet girlies” out there, you can make one of these on your own, or Victoria put a copy in her bio for all to share.

To Victoria, this is “the only way” to have a less stressful Thanksgiving holiday.
