breakfast Archives - Joy In Every Season

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours! This year we’ll have a small group here for dinner. Six adults and five of our grandkids. The two young teens will join us at the big table and the three younger ones will sit together at the kids table. I have a special gift for the kids after dinner to officially ring in the Christmas season! I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and may the upcoming year be filled with friends, family, health, and happiness!

I’ll try to get a few photos of this years Thanksgiving table (once I decide what I’m using), but in the meantime, here’s one more from a few years ago. Other than adding a few little woodland critters and candles to a garland down the middle of the table, the set up was simple. I certainly love a pretty table, but I also believe in using what you have, mixing and matching if needed, and keeping it functional. I doubt you’ll ever see any of my tables with layers upon layers of dishes. Are those tables pretty? Absolutely! But, my style is function, topped off with a sprinkling of pretty!
P.S. You might see some of the same items on this years table!

My Cran-Raspberry Jello Salad is my most popular recipe this time of year! Don’t worry if you don’t have a fancy jello mold, it can also be made in a rectangle baking dish.

This Spinach BlackBerry Salad is a delicious and festive salad and is perfect for both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
I even take a short cut and use a bottled dressing. A raspberry vinaigrette is delicious on this salad!

Who doesn’t love a pasta meal in a chilly day? I’ve been making these Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Shells for years! You know, a lot of meals you cook, at least family member doesn’t like it, but this was always a popular meal in our family. The salad, not so much 🤣 At least, now that our girls are grown, they all love salad! I guess I did something right.

Forget the marshmallows! You don’t them on top of these delicious Candied Sweet Potatoes! I always use the light colored potatoes/yams.
My family loves these and no matter how many I make, there are rarely leftovers.

If you’ve never made Tomato Strawberry Jam, I suggest you give it a try! It’s a delicious appetizer paired with herbed goat cheese on pita wedges.

Let’s talk about a Thanksgiving table! We always have a crowd, not huge, but enough where we can’t sit around one table. That’s a good problem, right? To be surrounded by family and friends. My dream is to have a home where I can host a large crowd, seated around multiple tables, in the same room. Ahhhw, maybe someday! In the meantime, we seat guests the dining room and also in the kitchen nook.
Food needs to be served buffet style and dessert is casual (sitting around the living or family room). And, fyi, our outdoor Christmas lights have been hung, but I haven’t ordered my Thanksgiving Turkey yet.
