All Things Thanksgiving
Time to break out those eating pants!
Thanksgiving 2019 is days away and we are here to help with those last minute planning tools! We will go over this years best sources for Food, Decorations, Entertainment & more!
THE FOOD:
These recipes are from 2019’s TOP choices.. Not only are they mouth watering but extremely easy to make!
“Our love for crescent roll recipes is no secret. Why make dough from scratch when everyone loves the canned stuff?! These little guys are the perfect appetizer to make during the holidays. Be warned: It'll forever change the way you think about brie.”
“Turn the classic casserole into a party app!”
“Addictive bites of cooked pork sausage, cheddar, and Bisquick.”
“Wow your dinner table with these super simple Thanksgiving turkey recipes.”
“Why should the carbs have all the fun?”
“Sweet tooths, you've come to the right place.”
This fellow blogger has put together some of the most delicious plant-based thanksgiving dishes that even your carnivorous guests are sure to enjoy!
THE DECOR:
Martha Stewart is the Queen of .. well, pretty much all things Entertainment. It’s time to channel your inner MaStew with these easy decor ideas anyone can achieve!
Rosemary Place Cards
Keep it clean and simple with some printed card stock place cards and sprigs of rosemary left over from that stuffing!
Rustic Fall
Roll out some packing paper, top it with some colorful books, candles, leaves and pumpkins and clear glassware and call it a day!
Colorful Touches
Give your table that Boho vibe by adding a pop of color to wheat.
ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE LITTLE ONES:
We all know how hard it can be keeping the kids entertained while you’re trying to setup the table and cook a grand meal for friends and family!
Here are a few things that can keep the little ones happy!
The Thanksgiving Escape Room has kids walking around the room breaking codes. Kids are given a secret code name and sent on a secret mission to save the turkeys. The codes include ciphers, Morse code, cryptograms and a final 4 digit code based on the decoders/clues. (Totally worth the $7)
Thankful Craft
Have the kiddos make some bracelets or even a garland to add to the tablescape! They will love being included and showing off their addition to the decor!
Activity Placemats
Printable activity sheets from Better Homes and Gardens are the perfect placemats. Downloaded the 11×17 file and have it printed at your local print shop. Take it a step further and have them laminated to reuse every year! Excellent table activity for kids!
ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE OLDER CROWD:
NFL Thanksgiving
Most would say, it’s not Thanksgiving without football! NFL.com has an easy-to-follow line-up of all the pro football games so that you can come up with your viewing strategy.
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2019
Others would argue that the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is #1 in Thanksgiving Day Entertainment!
“We’re planning over-the-top fun, epic balloons & floats, major stars & more.”
So, after you take the last bite of pumpkin pie, high five (or wipe tears away) from the epic game, unload all of your shopping bags… Just remember the most important part of this Holiday. Take in the little moments with your surrounding friends and family. Reflect on all this year has brought you and Give Thanks. Send a text to someone special, hug and kiss your kids, toss the dog a little turkey. On behalf of all of us here at Kraken CycleBoats we would like you to know how THANKFUL we are to all of our guests for celebrating their life events with us and making us a part of their experience!
