Introduction
It's that time of the year again. Thanksgiving has been a long time tradition in many homes across America. It's a day to kick back, relax, watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and football, and - best of all - eat a home-cooked Turkey Dinner with family and friends.
It's been tradition in your family that your great-aunt prepares the Thanksgiving feast, however she has suddenly fallen ill with a horrible case of COVID! In fact, so has the entire family...EXCEPT YOU!
You realize that if Thanksgiving dinner is to go on, it is up to you to pull it off! This will be a Thanksgiving to remember!
Task
Your job is to plan a Thanksgiving meal for 10 guests.
You may use Google Slides to create this presentation. The menu may be on one slide, but please put one recipe per slide. Be sure to modify to serve 10! You can create the shopping list in a separate Google Sheet/Excel/Doc/Word if you would like.
1. Create a professional menu that must include:
a) An Appetizer
b) Turkey with Gravy
c) Cranberry Sauce
d) Stuffing
e) A Vegetable Dish
g) A Dessert
2. You must include a recipe for each (NOT A LINK!!!)
a) Appetizer
