Thanksgiving

If you're traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday, patience will be the name of the game. After an extremely mild November, our first winter storm of the season is shaping up to make your plans just a little more interesting.

If you're hosting Thanksgiving dinner next week you'll want friends and family to feel welcome of course, but there are several reasons why they won't, and they'll be looking to duck out early. Uh oh.

As your hands are digging through the turkey cavity for that slippery gravy packet, you'll be able to ask Alexa for help without risking salmonella by picking up your phone. There's help for pie bakers too.

If you're thinking "it's got to be turkey because turkey deep fryers are dangerous," guess again. This is something we learned the hard way at our own home last Thanksgiving!

Personally, I never understood the appeal of running out to face the crowds with a gut full of turkey and stuffing but if you love finding a good deal shopping on Thanksgiving night can be down right exhilarating.

If the thought of getting stuck in the middle of a huge crowd at the airport doesn't appeal to you, book these three travel days this Thanksgiving and avoid the headaches.

For years, people have called me a weirdo because I just can't stomach lettuce. Well, that food aversion may actually be keeping me healthy!

There's nothing wrong with slicing cranberry sauce into discs straight out of a can that makes that "schloop" sound when you slide it out. But if you're looking for a fresh option, this is a good one.

If you over-indulge on Thanksgiving Day, at least you'll get an extra dose of protein and Vitamin A. There are some nutritional advantages to pigging out, and this might make us feel a little better about it.

Boise GreenBike is holding a bike-themed scavenger hunt this weekend, and we can help families in need at the same time. This could be the best Cranksgiving ever.
