Thanksgiving day (http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2010/11/18/thanksgiving-recipes-for-kids/) can feel like a big theatrical production. Typically, entire families are together for the day. There appear to be a severe lack of "serious" Thanksgiving quality recipes for children. Usually, those Thanksgiving quality recipes are intended just for kids. Your day could be easier, though. First, use the kid's excitement to help you get things done that make entertaining even easier.
