Thanksgiving Dinner Traditions
During Thanksgiving dinner, there are many traditions that you can enjoy and pass down to your family. These include traditional food and desserts, passing down family favorite stories, and writing thank you notes.
smokies wrapped in bacon and covered in brown sugar
Whether you are hosting a holiday party, game day event, or just want to add a little something to your next get together, bacon wrapped little smokies are a classic and a crowd pleaser. They are easy to make and delicious to eat.
Bacon wrapped little smokies can be baked or cooked in a crockpot. If you bake them, they will be a bit crispy on the outside but moist inside.
If you plan on baking them, you can also make a brown sugar glaze to top them. This can be done ahead of time. Just be sure not to mix the brown sugar with the smokies on the foil lined pan. Otherwise, it will burn.
Bacon wrapped little smokies are an easy appetizer to make and they’re also great if you’re looking for something that’s ready to go right from the oven. You can also freeze them unbaked. They’ll hold up in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If you’re planning on serving them at a party, you can serve them immediately. They’re great served with barbecue sauce or on their own. You can also serve them with chips or dip. It’s always nice to have a variety of finger foods on hand.
You can make these smokies ahead of time. You can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. However, you should check them before serving them to make sure they’re cooked through. If they’re not, you can nuke them to an internal temperature of 165@F.
If you’re planning on serving these at a party, you can make them ahead of time. You can store them in your refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also make a brown sugar glaze ahead of time. You can then bake them for an additional 10 minutes.
cranberry Jell-O
Whether you are serving this as a dessert or a side dish, it is a festive looking dish that is always a hit. Cranberry Jell-O Salad is a great make-ahead dish for Thanksgiving or any other holiday. It’s easy to make and is a great dish to serve to guests, family, or friends.
The original recipe for this dish is from a community cookbook owned by a grandmother. It is a favorite among the family. It can be served warm or cold.
The ingredients needed to make this recipe include fresh or canned cranberries, pineapple juice, fresh chopped apples, and raspberry jello. You can also add pecans for crunch.
The cranberry sauce is a sweet and tart side dish. A good source for cranberries is a can of Ocean Spray canned jellied cranberry sauce. The can should be drained and strained before using in the recipe.
Canned crushed pineapple adds a nice texture and flavor. You can also use fresh chopped oranges or peeled oranges as a substitute. You may want to use orange zest to add a bit of citrus flavor.
Once you have prepared the Jell-O salad, you can serve it as a side dish to poultry, meat, or vegetables. You can also make it ahead and store it in the refrigerator for a few days. It will keep for up to 3 days.
The best way to store the Jell-O is to wrap it tightly in cling or saran wrap and refrigerate it. The mixture will set up after a few hours of refrigerating.
You can serve this salad cold or hot. You can also serve it in a serving bowl or trifle dish. It can be garnished with fresh herbs.
Sourdough stuffing bread
Adding sourdough stuffing bread to the mix is a fun way to give your traditional holiday meal a unique twist. It’s a delicious combination of flavors that can be made in a jiffy. It’s a great way to use up leftover herbs. It’s also a delicious side dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner.
A classic stuffing recipe calls for a lot of herbs and spices. You can also add hearty mushrooms and Italian sausage to the mix. You can even add raspberry cranberry sauce. This classic recipe will give your thanksgiving meal a taste of the past.
In the spirit of the season, you can also serve a bourbon sweet potato casserole. You can even add some fresh rosemary to the mix for a flavorful twist.
A traditional Thanksgiving dinner is not complete without sourdough stuffing. This side dish is a great way to use up leftover herbs and spices. You can add sausage or Italian meatballs to the mix, too. You can even try a gluten-free version.
The key to making the best stuffing is to use the best ingredients. You can use a bread that’s neutral-flavored, or you can make your own sourdough. You can also add spices like fennel, rosemary, sage, and thyme. You can also use fresh parsley.
Sourdough bread is a great choice because it adds texture and flavor to your stuffing. You can make your own, buy it from a bakery, or even just make it from stale bread. A great way to make the best homemade stuffing is to make it a day or two before your holiday meal. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to three days, or freeze it for a month.
Passing down family-favorite stories
Besides the turkey, potatoes, and pumpkin pie, one of the best parts of Thanksgiving is the opportunity to pass along family-favorite stories to the next generation. For example, if you’re a multiracial family, you might have had a family reunion on the Mayflower, which means you might have some tales to tell.
The best way to pass along your family’s tales is to record them. One of the best ways to do this is to make a family history book. This can be done by combining responses from family members to the right questions. A family history book is a great way to stoke the family flame, and it’s also a great way to get all the kids involved in the family fun.
The best part of this exercise is that it can be done with relative ease. A family history book is a great place to start, but you can also look to apps such as FamilySearch’s All The Stories, which are a great place to start. The app consists of three main sections: Photos and Stories, All the Stories, and All the Stories: Bigger Edition. Each section has its own specific subset of family history stories. For example, the app’s Bigger Edition section features a list of ten of the largest families in the history of the United States. You can scroll through this list and then decide which of these ten families you would like to focus on. The best part is, the app will help you create a family history book that will serve you well for many years to come.
The aforementioned All The Stories app has a number of other impressive features. For example, it can even help you come up with the best family history story of all.
Writing thank-you notes
Whether you are a host or guest, writing thank-you notes is an important tradition to start. This simple activity can teach kids to write a letter, and it can also be used as a keepsake.
Some families take the time to write notes for each other on Thanksgiving. They can also include a special message for the teacher or for a parent. Other families may ask guests to bring an ornament that will remind them of the holiday. These cards are also a way for family members to express their gratitude for the other guests.
One of the more fun Thanksgiving dinner traditions is to have each guest write something they are thankful for on a tablecloth. Then they can write it again on the tablecloth each year. This is a fun activity for families, and it can double as a memento.
Another fun Thanksgiving dinner tradition is to ask each guest to write a name and three things they are thankful for on a tablecloth. After dinner, each guest can then take a note to their family members and write the names of the people they are thankful for.
If you don’t have time to write thank-you notes, consider sending cards on Black Friday. Thanksgiving cards can make the holiday special and can help you to bridge the gap between you and your loved ones.
You can also use a “No Excuses” box to send thank-you notes. This box contains a number of envelopes, stamps, pens, and thank-you cards. The box is also great for teaching kids to write notes.
Thanksgiving is a great time to teach kids to write thank-you notes. If you don’t have time, you can always send an email.
