No Time For Cooking? Publix And Instacart Have Your Thanksgiving Meal
Cooking for Thanksgiving can be stressful, even if you enjoy being in the kitchen. And lots of folks have to work today and on Thanksgiving Day, so there’s no time to spend hours in the kitchen. If that’s the case, or if all of the sudden you’re expecting people over for a Turkey Day dinner, don’t worry! Publix and Instacart are teaming up to help!
According to FoodBeast, Publix and Instacart are partnering up to offer holiday meal bundles for pickup or delivery. The ‘Holiday Entertaining’ collection is offering different bundles that you can prepare easily. All of the dishes are heat and serve. Nice! In addition, all of the bundles include complete meals, sides, desserts, and more. Each is adjustable to the size of your holiday gathering.
Good For Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving
No matter your plans for the holidays, these bundles are easy to prepare. You can even tell folks you did the cooking…they’ll never know! The bundles are offering everything from turkey to ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, mac n’cheese, red beans and rice, and desserts. Total meal!
Shopping at Publix is something I do often. They always have the things I’m looking for and their in-house dishes are always yummy. I’m a big fan of their sub sandwiches and their fried chicken. I’m also a huge fan of their bakery and deli items. The Tuscan Roasted Garlic loaf they make in the stores is my favorite! And if you’re a fan of spinach dip, you have to try theirs. I don’t buy it often because I’ll eat the whole thing quick. It’s great with crackers, bread pieces and veggies!
If you are having a large group of folks over, you’ll need to place an order for one of their Thanksgiving bundles asap! Small orders can be picked-up or delivered same-day. When I was in the store last weekend, I saw some available items in the deli. Depending on where you live, you can probably walk in today and pick up some side items.
Ordering is available through the Instacart App or on the Publix Delivery & Curbside website. I’m guessing, but I bet they’ll also do this for Christmas. Take some stress off yourself and spend time with family and friends instead of sweating in the kitchen!
What Your Favorite Thanksgiving Side Says About You
Mac & Cheese
If your favorite side dish is mac and cheese, you don’t take your time with your family for granted. You appreciate the small things in life and the memories you’ve created. Your first taste of mac and cheese was when you were a child, and you still remember how your face lit up after that first bit. You’re a nostalgic person that wants to capture every moment.
Corn
Your fondness for corn as your favorite Thanksgiving dish suggests that you have a cheerful and optimistic outlook on life. You’re down to earth, and you prefer the simplicity in life. You don’t need anything too fancy schmancy. The vibrant color of corn on your rather muted plate is how others perceive you, as the shining light in their lives.
Green Bean Casserole
You’re a warm and welcoming person. On the outside, green bean casserole sounds like an unappealing dish because its main ingredient is a veggie. Right? Wrong! You are a person who doesn’t judge a book by its cover. You find the beauty in others and are always willing to invite them in and give them a chance.
Brussel Sprouts
If your favorite side dish is Brussels Sprouts at Thanksgiving, then you plan on ruining the delicious smell of turkey with the atrocious odor of those green, slimy, tiny cabbages. I specifically hope that if you prefer to fill more than a third of your plate with the sprouts, you bring them yourself. (It’s even worse if you prefer them boiled over baked.) This Thanksgiving dinner, please try some mashed potatoes or stuffing. It will change your whole outlook on life.
Mashed Potatoes
If your favorite side dish at Thanksgiving is mashed potatoes, then you’re a person who loves comfort. You find solace in familiar things. Mashed potatoes are a classic staple on your holiday dish, this says that you are someone who values family and tradition.
Sweet Potatoes and Marshmallows
If you prefer this unique combination on your Thanksgiving dinner plate, you are a creative and imaginative person. You love to try new things, even if they’re not guaranteed to work. You are an adventurer with a sweet tooth, and it’s what your friends and family love most about you.
Cranberry Jelly Sauce
Congratulations, you are among the few who prefer this side on your Thanksgiving plate. You are independent and make your own decisions, despite what others might say. Cranberry jelly is the metaphor for “take me as I am.” You also live by the mantra, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
No Side
Jail. If you decide that all you want on your plate at Thanksgiving dinner is a slice of turkey… Ok, maybe jail is a bit much. But go sit in the corner! This meal was built on its sides, so to not include any is unacceptable. For the sake of your friends and family, please throw some corn and mashed potatoes on your plate this holiday.
Stuffing
You have a big heart! There are lots of ways to make stuffing and each way is delicious. If you like to load up on the stuffing during the holiday, not only do you have great taste, but you are also a generous and giving person. You enjoy stepping back and giving others the spotlight to feel special.
