Sorry I haven’t posted for a while, I was down with a head and chest cold and a sinus infection which all spread to my family 🙁 But now that I am feeling a little better, I am thinking about Thanksgiving Dinner! YUM! It has to be my favorite dinner of the year!
I was wondering what some of your Thanksgiving Traditions are. At our house they always revolve around food! It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without my candied yams, and of course Turkey! What also adorns my table? Cranberry sauce (or Lingon Berries), stuffing, and of course mashed potatoes and gravy! We couldn’t do without pumpkin pie either!
I was wondering what some of your traditions are…. do you go around the table and tell what your thankful for, do you have special place settings, do you assign seats, do you dress up, etc. I need some more ideas to help make it special. This year we are going up to spend Thanksgiving with my husbands family, but I would love to bring along some great ideas! Leave a comment here to help me out! In return, I will post my Candied Yam’s Recipe a little later after I make them this week, trust me, you won’t have Thanksgiving Dinner ever again without them!
We always make these cute/silly little cornicopias to leave at each place setting. We've been doing it since I was little. They are made out of Sugar Cones. <br />Take a sauce pan and fill with about 4-6 cups of water and then cover with aluminum foil. Cut about a 1 inch square out of the middle of the foil so that the pan is covered except for that one square. Bring the water to a boil.
Oh yeah, we try and do a service project after the dinner but before we eat pie. Last year we did file folder games for the humanitarian center, we've done quilts before and hygeine kits…etc.
