Are you needing a few tips before you host the big Thanksgiving feast? No worries: I have some ideas for you!
- Food – Decide early on if you are going to cook a traditional menu or try to change things up. Think of things that can be prepared ahead of time, so you aren’t trying to cook a full meal while everyone is arriving! Cranberry salads, green beans, and other simple foods can be prepared and then put in the fridge to chill or in a Crock-Pot to stay hot. Peel your potatoes beforehand and keep them covered in water until you are ready to boil them.
- Drinks – Have a few simple drinks for your guests since the menu is so time-consuming. Think lemonade, tea, and water. If you are wanting some alcohol, think red wine and other drinks that don’t require a lot of ingredients.
- Tradition – Start a new family tradition! Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to start a new tradition that will be carried on for years to come. Purchase a large white tablecloth and a fabric marker. Then, everyone that attends that year writes their name. The next year, get a different colored marker and sign again. In a few years, it will be fun to look back and see how your family has grown!
