What could be simpler than inviting your nearest and dearest over and heating up a full-on feast, from bird to pie? Some of my favorite restaurants and take-out stops provide all the fixings. Dispense with decisions completely at Coffee’s Country Market. Their $250 dinner feeds 8 – 10 and includes an herb-rubbed bird, gravy, butternut bisque, cranberry walnut chutney, stuffing, choice of sides and a mile-high apple or pumpkin pie. Order by November 19th.

Elizabeth’s Cafe/Perfect Parties makes a spectacular feast: choose either an all-natural or organic turkey and add the classics or try Granny Smith apple, sausage, and caramelized onion stuffing, puree of celery root and apple, or honey and chive carrots. Order by Sunday, November 18th at noon.
