How to host an Egg-cellent Thanksgiving dinner: four recipes + a whole lot of egg puns

edited


For Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or any other holiday gathering you might be hosting, don’t fret because this dinner party master post has got you covered. I’ve teamed up with Eggland’s Best to bring you a simple, easy, and delicious holiday spread. I’m not egg-aggerating here, these recipes are tasty! Included are savory sides such as ‘rosemary biscuits with spiced butternut squash butter’, ‘deviled eggs with honeyed jalapenos’, and ‘herb butter stuffing’. The main event is a ‘lemon thyme hay-roasted chicken’, and for dessert is a ‘pumpkin & brown butter cheesecake with candied bourbon pecans’. The holidays never tasted so good!

Warning: This post contains an exuberant amount of egg puns. Enjoy :)


Hello, friends.

It’s less than a week until Thanksgiving. Are you ready?! When you’re reading this, I will have already left my apartment and will be at my parent's home for the holiday break. I’m pretty excited for this time off. I am in need of a break from higher education. Senior year has been a rigorous semester so far, but I’m making it through. With final exams just around the corner, I’m looking forward to this period of rejuvenation before hitting the books for the final home stretch. For me, thanksgiving break always means two very important things: No classes and a whole lot of baking! Weeks before the holiday gathering, Momma Crawford and I will sit down and brainstorm recipe ideas for the festive dinner. We think of ways to reimagine traditional side dishes or create healthy dessert alternatives that will still taste delicious. It’s always so much fun planning and prepping the Thanksgiving dinner menu with her. Lots of laughs and cups of coffee are shared. But this year, Eggland’s Best reached out to me and challenged me to create a thanksgiving/Friendsgiving dinner all by myself. You can say I was pretty egg-cited to accept this challenge.

Hello, friend.

The Thanksgiving feast has come to a close! As you rinse your last dinner plate and arrange the empty assortment of pots and pans to dry, you give a sigh of relief. It’s over. The family fed, the wine half finished, and the day coming to a close. All you want to do is put your feet up and watch a movie. What better way to congratulate yourself but with a movie night??  But what to accompany your movie endeavors? You think of popcorn. An excellent idea! Though store bought popcorn is so…what's the word….inadequate, especially for a movie night like tonight. Your culinary inhibitions need to be next level. You need to go all Ida Garten on that popcorn. It’s time to infuse some butter and get popping.

Hello, friend.

This last weekend I had the honor of being one of two ushers in my cousin Katelyn's wedding. Katelyn and her fiancé Mark officially tied the knot this past Saturday. Countless family members and close friends came from near and far for the celebratory affair. With our fresh-flower boutonnieres pinned to our shirts and our feet set to march down the church sanctuary aisles, all kept to the time of the organ music heard on the balcony above, it quickly flew by with a single blink. Happy tears and joyful embraces were in abundance. At the reception, Jon played MC and overall comedian for the evening. The passing day and budding night were full of happiness, tears, memories, and thoughts on love. For the happy couple, I decided to put together a wedding inspired food care basket, filled with baked goods sweet and salty alike. From chocolate covered popcorn to apple pie cookies, it was the sweetest way to celebrate love.


To Katelyn & Mark, congratulations!
