If you’re skipping the sangria (you don’t have to — you can do it on a budget) or don’t want to be bothered with cocktails, but still want to do some sipping with Thanksgiving dinner, plan on having house bottles of white and red wine. Picking two wines and sticking to them throughout the night keeps things nice and easy from both a drinking and buying perspective: Choose the two wines you want to serve, and pick up a few bottles of each. Easy.

When it comes to Thanksgiving side dishes, stuffing (or dressing, if you prefer) ranks up there at the top of my list. Holiday dinner simply isn’t complete without it.

At its core, stuffing isn’t a tricky dish to make, and this version is made even easier by using your slow cooker. No more vying for oven space. It’s a set-it-and-forget-it side that requires just a little room on the counter and a few hours. And what you get in return is a classic stuffing filled with homey flavors, and plenty of crispy, toasty edges.

You know that friend whose taste in music always makes your ears perk up? That’s my friend Austin Powers (no relation to the international man of mystery). He’s always playing the right thing at the right time, to the point that I’ve asked him to curate the music at numerous dinner parties.

“Music only adds to the sensory experience of eating,” says Austin. “So it’s something I always think of when there’s food around.”

So, naturally, Austin was the right person to go to for help creating a Thanksgiving playlist that caters to you, the host. From the minute you wander into the kitchen, this playlist will be there, walking you through your next few hours of stirring, stuffing, dicing, and slicing.

But as an introvert who loves small, intimate dinner parties, I also find Thanksgiving exhausting and emotionally overwhelming, especially when I’m the host.

Are you an introvert too? If your holiday planning includes wondering if you can sneak some earplugs into the kitchen once it’s packed with screaming relatives, or thinking about how long you can hide in the bathroom this time before it starts to look weird, this survival guide is for you.
