Amazon continues to roll out their early bird Black Friday savings, and we especially love today’s 45% off sale on the Instant Pot DUO Plus 3 Quart 9-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker. For the rest of today, you can pick one up for $55, normally $100.

We’re gonna make a bold statement here. Ready? Here goes: Vitamix makes the best blenders in the biz. These kitchen workhorses blend perfect smoothies, sauces, nut milks, (hot!) soups, and more, and boast a five-year full warranty.
If you’ve been a reader of our site for any length of time, you already know that we think they’re worth the splurge. And actually, if you buy one today, it won’t cost you nearly as much. Because Amazon is slashing prices on Vitamix blenders just for today — yes, on Turkey Day! — as an early Black Friday deal.

Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and basically everything between Thanksgiving and Christmas seem to be about spending money — even the best of sales requires a little bit of cash on hand. But there’s a saving grace hidden among the spend, spend, spend mentality, and it’s the thing that will keep you sane as you rush from store to store looking for the cheapest stand mixer and the best deal on an Instant Pot: free food.
Plenty of places offer gift card deals — buy $25 or $50 in gift cards and get a little more to spend on yourself (BurgerFi, Carraba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, The Cheesecake Factory), but there are better deals to be had, especially if you weren’t already planning to gift restaurant gift cards (but if you were, definitely look for deals).

Growing up, nearly all Thanksgiving dinners were spent at my grandma’s house, and in classic potluck style; everyone brought the sides and desserts so her only duty in the kitchen was the turkey and gravy. For me, this meant a morning making several dishes we could easily pack up and that would handle the drive to our holiday dinner.
This year I’m drawing on all those helpful tips I’ve picked up throughout the years as I ready to prep some of these delicious dishes. No matter what your schedule or how far you’re traveling, these five make-ahead Thanksgiving sides are sure to wow the crowd around the table.

We asked Marge to tackle one of Kitchn’s most divisive questions we’ve ever received: Is it OK to ask your friend for money for Thanksgiving?
Dear Marge,
A friend just invited me to his home for Thanksgiving dinner — and asked me to pay $50 upfront. I understand that hosting can be expensive, and I wouldn’t mind being asked to bring a dish, but asking guests for cash seems incredibly rude. Am I crazy to be a bit miffed? Has anyone else experienced this? If so, how do you handle it?
Should I tell my friend that this is not the norm?

Yesterday the CDC issued a stern warning to the country: Do not, under any circumstances, eat romaine lettuce. An E.Coli outbreak may have contaminated all types of romaine. If you bought any heads or hearts of romaine, go into your kitchen right now and throw it out. Same goes for any boxed salad mixes. In fact, you better stay in there and disinfect your refrigerator. Better to play it safe.
Now you might be panicking because you had plans to make luscious, crunchy salads for lunch all week or maybe you finally committed to eating vegetarian once a week. Never fear! Here, we’ve gathered 21 salad recipes that contain not even a hint of romaine. These salads get their flavor from healthy ingredients like beans, quinoa, and pasta. You won’t even notice that the romaine is missing.

We spend a lot of time talking about hosting and serving Thanksgiving dinner, but many — if not most — of us are headed to the holidays at someone else’s home. It’s courteous to bring a small token of gratitude for a host’s hospitality, especially if you’re an overnight guest.
Here are a few small and inexpensive (but enjoyable!) last-minute gifts that you can pick up at the grocery store on that pre-holiday run.

Love donuts, hate deep-frying? Same. Luckily, there’s a way to get around that.
If you aren’t currently the proud owner of an air fryer, let this be the recipe that convinces you to buy one. With a can of biscuit dough and just the teensiest spray of oil, you can be enjoying warm, flaky donuts in just 10 minutes — no hot oil splatters or deep-fry thermometers in sight. Here’s how to do it.

An $8 roll of contact paper can do wonders for your home. You can use it to upgrade old furniture, modernize shelves, elevate countertops, or even forge a backsplash. For the budget-conscious, it’s almost too good to be true. And, as it turns out, some people say it just might be.
