Needed some support about my cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the first time in 35 years.
Toni Bernard gives wise counsel and is very accessible. Luckily my library has her books. She gives generous peeks inside her books on her website also.

As far as cooking Thanksgiving dinner - no thanks not worth it for me, plus I am not what you would call a good cook. My ex use to cook the Thanksgiving meal, The last 3 years I get takeout from a semi high end restaurant (they have a real chef) and it is a yummy meal including the excellent pumpkin pie. I double the order that serves 2 to 4 , so my son and I have left overs for over the long weekend. It costs just as much to buy all the food at the store.There are also Thanksgiving buffets out there and some are really good.
But if it seems like too much (when reality finally dawns on me), I could purchase a meal. It's only for 4 though and I don't like turkey & pumpkin pie much.....
In my stress about thanksgiving, I sought another website that has tons of good stuff---Bruce Campbell's Self-help course for chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia: http://www.cfidsselfhelp.org/library
The videos are great.
