"I'm thankful for the good old fashion internet!"


Pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes and turkey propped on a table surrounded by friends and family. Yes, it’s that time of year again, Thanksgiving! For some this means a weekend of touring the GTA visiting family, for others it means fitting Oktoberfest festivities into the holiday weekend. For those who take on the task of hosting, it means planning, prepping, and cooking a feast that many look forward to all year. For these brave souls, they should be giving thanks for social media tools that will help them make it through the season in one piece!

1. Evites

2. Turkey Decorating 101

3. Prepare the Feast
It’s not a guesstimating system anymore when it comes to figuring out what to cook and how much to cook. With simple tools such as menu planners and online tips preparing the main event has never been so easy!


4. CHOW

5. The Aftermath
