Thanksgiving is one of my most favorite holidays, because it's ALL about the food. And I love food. And cooking. I know I know, it's about family too. I have been hosting Thanksgiving since before my husband and I were even married, and it's that much sweeter now that we have our own little turkey.
Below are my top FIVE tips for keeping it relaxing & fun:
One: Start drinking mimosas early. I'm not even a little bit joking. Throw some fruit in there, and call it breakfast!
Two: Don't go crazy with deserts. I usually stick to two. A pumpkin cheesecake & a fruit pie. Everyone is too full for desert anyway, and then I end up coercing people into taking it with them.
Three: Set the table the night before & keep it simple. Less is more in my opinion--some fresh flowers, votive candles, fresh herbs {rosemary is great} and mini white pumpkins are my go-to.
Four: Make this Savory Spinach & Artichoke Bread Pudding. You won't regret it. Trust me!
Five: Enjoy a walk with the family after dinner. I know the last thing everyone wants to do is walk. But getting some fresh air will keep ya from crashing into an early food coma. And you may burn off one spoonful of mashed potatoes. Win-Win!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
