There’s nothing like a homecooked meal and homemade desserts on Thanksgiving, but for many of us these days, that’s just not a reality. Maybe you’re a busy working mom strapped for time, or maybe cooking just isn’t your forte. Either way, it’s perfectly okay to get a little help this Thanksgiving.
Here in Westerly, we are lucky enough to have some great places for fresh, locally made baked goods, desserts, sides and even pre-cooked turkey. If you’d prefer to spend your time relaxing and enjoying the company of your family and friends, here are some places that can help you out with all your Thanksgiving needs. Make sure you place your orders soon though as Turkey day is just around the corner. Happy feasting!
