Hi Friends! Patty and I are so glad you are here! Once a month, we chat about various topics and ask you to jump in! This month we are talking all things Thanksgiving. We are answering these questions...
So let's get to it!
1. Favorite Thanksgiving Dishes
Roasted Turkey, Bread Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce and Green Beans...I do like everything we have but those are my favorite staples....oh my Mom's Stuffed Mushrooms as an appetizer...they taste like Thanksgiving to me :)
2. Stuffing or Dressing? Please share a recipe!
Stuffing- we do this mashed potato bread stuffing that is to die for- it is a staple and My mom thinks she found the original recipe in the Boston Globe. Find the Recipe HERE
3. Are you hosting any of the holidays this year? Please share your tips!
Yes...of course...always hosting here....Thanksgiving Eve...Thanksgiving Breakfast...Thanksgiving Dinner...Wine Group...Favorite Things Party and Christmas Eve
Lists always help me...guest list...menu...grocery list...to do list....helps me stay organized and less stressed!
4. Turkey Trot or Football Game?
Well...kinda a complicated answer...we always grew up with the high school football game...our favorite Thanksgiving tradition... but after moving to Southern NH for Rob, I quickly learned that high school football games do not exist on Thanksgiving morning- what? BOO! Anyway, we created our own traditions and the Windham Turkey Trot is one of them...the kids come over for breakfast and then we all head out and do the Turkey Trot together. After that, everyone goes their separate ways for their Thanksgiving Dinner traditions.
5. If you decorate for Christmas, do you decorate before or after Thanksgiving?
Well depends on the year....this year, we decorated early so before...last year, we decorated after and the years prior, we decorated early due to our Nutcracker years and traditions. I think moving forward, it will be a year by year decision
6. Are your holidays more sit down meals or casual affairs?
Sit down meals for the most part
7. Pumpkin or Apple Pie? Another dessert?
Another dessert please...ice cream pie or pumpkin cheesecake (the one from Trader Joe's!)
8. Are you traveling for Thanksgiving or staying closer to home?
At home!
9. Do you Black Friday Shop?
Yes! One of my fave traditions with my bestie Cass...starting last year, we added our oldest daughters to the tradition as well :)
10. Thing you are most looking forward to this holiday season?
Time spent with my family and friends...that is the greatest gift!
