r/thanksgiving

Hello ,

I am a single mom of 2 on odsp and I am desperately trying to find help with buying the groceries to make a Thanksgiving supper for my family.

As the title says- I’m hosting this year’s thanksgiving for the first time in effort to bring together my and my bfs family. I’ve always wanted to host a holiday at my home so I’m super excited.

Problem #1, I have a small oven. So Im probably going to be cooking days before and freezing/reheating because my oven is just smaller than what I’m used to. (I moved this year). Any tips are so appreciated!

Problem #2, how are y’all keeping food warm?? Like what’s your thanksgiving day routine lol?

And also, what is a must have at your family’s thanksgiving giving?

Thank you!!

Hors d'oeuvres? Appetizers? Snacks?

I'm probably doing a cheese ball, crudites, and cranberry brie bites. What are you serving or what would you like to see?

Helping to plan a baby shower that is loosely Thanksgiving themed.

Looking for appetizer/light meal ideas that give Thanksgiving flavors without having to cook a whole turkey 😅 Mini pies, charcuterie, etc.

My kids and I are going camping in the Sequoia National Park over Thanksgiving and I'd love to hear ideas on recipes that can be tailored to be cooked over a campfire (or cook stove, if fire ban is in place)while keeping the 'spirit' of traditional dishes that are normally served.

I will save you some time by saying that we WILL be making Stove Top stuffing as indicated on the side of the box; that's non-negotiable, lol.

EDIT: The choice was obvious: I will get food delivered so I can relax and stay warm at home. Thanks everyone!

I went to the community Thanksgiving lunch last year and honestly didn't enjoy it. It's basically the only one in my small town being hosted by the same person behind the summer farmers market. I ended up going home after eating and taking a nap afterward.

It's coming up again this year and I'm trying to figure out if I actually want to go or just get it delivered. What would you honestly do if you were me?

It’s almost the season! Which alcohol is the correct alcohol to add to your Eggnog for the proper amount of holiday cheer? And why?

Which Spirit is Best?
• Brandy / Cognac
• Rum
• Bourbon or Whiskey
• Combination (if so, what’s your combo?)

Happy holidays!!

Looking to present wonderfully delicious meals for the the upcoming holidays — specifically for my family! We live in the Willamette Valley and I’m all about fresh organic meals from scratch. What are your go to meals/apps/desserts/etc for the holidays? I love preparing meals for my family during the colder months.

Apps, sides, meals, desserts all welcome.
