Thanksgiving definitely feels different this year. We're living through a global pandemic. Many states have limited how, why, and where people can gather. Loved ones can't travel. Different foods are and aren't on the table, or in stores. It's sad, and yet there is still so much to celebrate. I've been looking forward to a small celebration with loved ones this year. Whether or not it will happen remains to be seen, but for now, I'm still preparing.
Pre-Feast:
Thawing our turkey: These calculators made, well, calculations, so much easier!
Relish: Seen in the photo above, I made this recipe on Sunday so that the flavors had a few days to meld.
BINGO: I made this card based on inspiration from my dear friend and A Cup of Jo.
I like lists, and this is just another way to keep one, to celebrate what we have and count our blessings, which are still many. I plan to use the card as a place setting. Silly and simple, it fits what I feel I could use more of this year.
For the feast itself, here's our proposed menu (which, as previously stated, remains up in the air at this time):
Post-Feast:
I'm already eyeing leftover recipes, especially these creative spins on what can become boring leftovers:
Thanksgiving leftovers eggs benedict (The Endless Meal)
Thanksgiving leftover enchiladas (Tasty)
Thanksgiving leftovers lasagna (My Recipes)
Thanksgiving leftovers quesadilla (The Cookie Rookie)
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. However you may celebrate, pre-, post-, or not-at-all, I hope you give thanks and celebrate your blessings, because there always are some.
