Hosting Thanksgiving Step by Step - Come Along with Me!

[@maryoleary2037]

With four young boys and doing home schooling, it is a huge accomplishment to pull off a meal of this calibre and also make extra gluten free things. Well done!!!!! What I would have done differently is to cut back on the sugar. I make apple pies with no added sugar and I would never put marshmallows over a veggie dish. But that's just me. You do, YOU, with pizazz!

[@ThisYellowFarmhouse]

I think the marshmallows on veggies dish is a midwestern thing, my family does it too!💛

[@AL-pe9kg]

My daughter who is 9 years old said that you have the coziest kitchen ever ❤️🎄

[@marigoldsky3799]

You are so right, being organized and doing as much ahead is the key!! I actually make my mashed potatoes the day before, put in a big microwave safe bowl, cover with Saran Wrap and heat up in the microwave. Add a little extra butter and milk, stir a few times while warming up. Takes maybe 10 min in microwave. And I cook my onions/celery for the stuffing in butter the day before and store in fridge. Also I make a big (huge!) casserole of Mac/cheese and freeze it unbaked. You can do that a month or so ahead of time. Put in fridge a few days before thanksgiving to unthaw, then put your topping on and bake like normal!! Pretty table!!! Your husband is so helpful, you’re lucky!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! 🦃☀️🦃☀️

Thank you! Great tips! Happy Thanksgiving! 😊

I watched this video yesterday in its entirety and I want to tell this young woman what a profound effect it had upon me! Not only is she a lovely person she is also a talented cook (with a husband who pitches right in!! 😊) but her calm demeanor during the Thanksgiving prep she was doing helped me immensely. We never know how our actions will affect others. Sometimes it’s nice to share the good things about KZbin with those who put in all the work producing videos!😊 so many things you did in this video I decided to try myself. Yes, I have prepared MANY Thanksgiving dinners over my 72 years yet I found your video inspiring. I still make a nice dinner for myself though my children are grown, one married to military living far away. The other we won’t go into here. I love holiday so I put in the effort. THANK YOU for taking the time and trouble to record all you did. Bless you and yours. I hope your holidays are WONDERFUL! PS LOVE your NEW BLUE STOVE!!!😊

[@cathymacmillan4645]

Hi Sweet Girl. What has worked very well for me to add dining places for grandchildren and now their girlfriends is to find the largest space and add some smaller tables in close proximity (somewhat like a cozy restaurant). I just let everyone choose their own spot so their is no designated “kiddy” table. We have no problem all chatting and laughing from table to table, if fact we are somehow closer to each other than you would be at one long table. Maybe put your large table horizontally and go right into your living room if necessary. I bought several matching tablecloths which helps us all feel at one table. A 15$ thrifted drop leaf table has been great. I have often seen card tables at thrift stores. Your family will have a wonderful Thanksgiving 💕💕💕

[@PineandProspectHome]

Thank you for a great idea! Happy Thanksgiving! 😊

Andrea - wow! That was a beautiful and very delicious looking meal. I haven’t ever made something to that scale, but I know even when I cook a special meal for a much smaller crowd, I always feel so good about providing delicious food for others to enjoy. It can feel exhausting during some moments, but is a very rewarding process. Loved this video!

Thank you for sharing such a lovely video, Andrea. Your love of cooking and baking for your family is a joy to watch. I know this meal didn't just happen, and it took a lot of planning and preparing. I appreciate how you took us along on the process which helps others understand how to accomplish such a feat of a feast in their own homes. You've made cooking a Thanksgiving meal seem a little less intimidating.

[@marymendez4178]

Your Thanksgiving video was a joy to watch and we all learn things that we don't know how to bake homemade. Forgive and excuse me Andrea try using the Reynolds bag for turkey. It cooks in broil nice and juicy. With the juice of the turkey I make my gravy. try it for next year. We all look and learn thank you for this video it has inspired me so much!

I love the pumpkin and the baby’s breath centre piece. Your dinner looks delicious. My mother-in-law had started tradition of mixing cranberry juice and ginger ale in a fancy jug when we got together for special dinners. My children are in their late 30s and their kids look forward to having this little cocktail. We don’t drink alcohol but I do pour them into fancy wine glasses/goblets. Happy belated birthday to your mother and happy Thanksgiving to my American friends. 🍗🦃❤️

[@PineandProspectHome]

That sounds delicious! Thank you for the idea! Happy Thanksgiving! 😊

[@maryoleary2037]

I love cranberry juice with ginger ale. It is best to not use diet juice, or diet soda.

[@tracymaddox8546]

I am gluten free, celiac disease. I love how you showed that gluten free can be incorporated with everything else. My granddaughter is also allergic to nuts. We just put the nuts to the side and everyone can put them in if wanted. Your apple pie looks delicious,I would love to have the recipe and your roll and pie crust recipe. I also appreciate the care you take in everything you do. I am loving your pictures you are sharing. Also, I saw a piece like the one you put in your bedroom. Same exact thing and it said it was a dry sink. But I love it where you moved it.

Oh Andrea, how beautiful everything looks. I really loved the napkins. What a blessing to have your family around your table to celebrate. Despite all the time and work that goes into a Thanksgiving meal, I always looked forward to it and actually enjoyed it.

This is a lovely video, in the UK obviously we don’t celebrate thanksgiving (although, my auntie does because her husband is from the US), but it was really interesting to watch, and your so lucky to have a husband that you can just send to the thrift store (or charity shop in the UK) to pick things up…if I sent my husband to get goblets he’d probably get distracted and end up coming home with something completely unrelated 😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️ xx

Great tips and beautiful home! One of my “cheats” for the sweet potato casserole, is to bake my sweet potatoes in the oven with the skins on and then when they are done, I just scoop out the flesh for my dish and mix. Saves me so much time not having to peel and cut those hard sweet potatoes and tastes delish too!! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

I don’t cook for Thanksgiving anymore. My husband thought it was too much. So we go with my daughters family out to eat. It’s so much easier. I can imagine an extra fridge would come in handy. That is nice. I used to have a fridge in our laundry room at our old house. I always bought pre made pie crusts. I made all the pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. When m daughters were younger I made Thanksgiving for my husband’s family and the four of us. I do cook for Christmas. And my daughter and most of her family are vegetarian. So I make two different pots of goulash for her and the ones who are vegetarian. And another for those of us who are not. M son in law and grandson eat meat. And one of my granddaughter’s does now too. Your food is looking delicious. I love pumpkin pie. I make them every year. When I cook for Christmas I make a dirt cake for dessert. That’s what my son in law and grandson always ask for. I have never been able to make gravy that isn’t lumpy.
