The days leading up to Thanksgiving often bring out of town guests. Make them feel right at home with a few simple touches.

• Place bottled water, individually wrapped mints and a magazine or favorite novel on the bedside table.
• Tuck travel size toiletries into a basket of fresh, fluffy towels.
• Plan meals that are simple and comforting like Peanut Butter Bacon Sandwiches, or mix it up with exotic new flavors like Shrimp Stir-Fry with Peanut Sauce and South American Peanut Pork.
