Friendsgiving Prep

🦃 Yep, you got that right.

It’s that time of the year and the Holidays 🎄 are in full swing. K, now i’ve been doing TURKEY DUTY 😊 for the past few years and I am at it again. Wanna little secret!?

It is soooo SOOOO easy!

Prep and shove in oven. Haha 👩‍🍳

Anyways, let’s get a lil sentimental here.

I didn’t have many 🥘 friends growing up. I used to wish to one day be invited to a friends-giving. But, it’s not JUST about the friends. It’s about the friends that have become family. 🥰

After all, thats what Thanksgiving is all about right⁉️

Being thankful and giving thanks! 🙏🏻

... Read moreFriendsgiving is a celebration that brings together friends to share a meal, often around Thanksgiving. It's about fostering connections and building relationships that feel like family. To make your Friendsgiving memorable, consider these tips: 1. **Planning Ahead**: To alleviate stress, create a menu that includes traditional dishes like turkey, stuffing, and seasonal sides. Each guest can contribute a dish, potluck-style, which adds personal touches. 2. **Setting the Atmosphere**: Decorate your space with fall-inspired themes, using pumpkins, leaves, and warm lighting to create a cozy vibe. 3. **Cooking Tips**: For the turkey, a straightforward method is to bake it at 350°F. Basting it each hour will keep it juicy, and consider using a thermometer to ensure it's fully cooked. Don't forget to experiment with flavors, from classic herbs to unique spice blends, to wow your guests. 4. **Remembering Gratitude**: Incorporate a gratitude sharing round before the meal, where everyone can express what they are thankful for. This promotes a warm and inviting environment, enhancing connections. 5. **Activities**: Plan engaging activities, such as games or a movie night, to enjoy after the meal. With these guidelines, your Friendsgiving will surely be a heartfelt gathering filled with delicious food and cherished moments.
