What’s that? You don’t want to make an elaborate, 12-dish meal in your closet-sized kitchen? Shocking. Leave the cooking to these restaurants, bakeries and markets instead, so you can focus on what’s important. (Stuffing your face with pie and passing out at 8 p.m.) And if you still want to add a homemade touch, consider serving a few fancy appetizers and easy finger foods—like stuffed figs, mini meatballs or these Thanksgiving appetizers—to impress your guests before the main feast arrives.
