First things first: Make a reservation. The 1:30 p.m. slot is already booked. But that leaves you a few other times to get in on the cranberry orange relish, green bean casserole, oven-baked chicken, turkey and stuffing extravaganza. The dessert table will be full of traditional Thanksgiving treats, as well as some of Ingrid’s favorites.

There’s a chance the weather might be cooler this year for Turkey Day. If that’s the case, a big bowl of pho is one of the best ways to warm up the insides to match the warmness of the holiday season. Traditionally made pho, a full belly and no clean-up is an excellent way to spend any day.
