Hey, Hey!

Thanksgiving doesn’t have to mean doing it all yourself! In this episode, we’re diving into the ultimate hosting hack: the Thanksgiving potluck. I’ll share my top tips for coordinating dishes without drama, asking guests to bring what they want (or what they can), and making sure the big-ticket items like turkey and stuffing are covered. Plus, we’ll chat about keeping contributions fair, making the day fun and memorable, and why potlucks are my absolute favorite—despite my Macedonian roots where bringing a dish used to be offensive.

Whether you’re a potluck pro or hosting one for the first time, this episode is packed with laughs, tips, and a plan to make your Thanksgiving stress-free and delicious.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to ask guests what they’d like to bring without stepping on toes

• The secret to keeping contributions fair and balanced

• How to handle no-shows, mishaps, or gaps in the menu

• Why potlucks are the ultimate way to share the load, the love, and the food
