This recipe is from a few years back, bringing it back today because it’s such a fun, easy way to get into the holiday spirit!
If you’re looking for a fun and super easy treat to make for your family and friends this holiday season, today’s Christmas Popcorn Recipe is for you!
This “Day Before Thanksgiving Checklist” was originally posted last year-
I thought I’d run it again here today, since we’ll be hosting yet again!
These tips are still the ones I personally use and still stand by every one of them, regardless of the size of our holiday dinner.
If I ever wrote a book about entertaining, I think it would be called The Anxious Hostess.
Even though this is far from my first time hosting, I still tend to overthink and stress everything I need to do.
Having a list and taking care of as many things as I can – plenty of time ahead of the holiday, really helps me calm down…so does wine;)
Here’s my checklist for the day before Thanksgiving.
This assumes your Thanksgiving menu is already set.
The week before Thanksgiving it’s important to know the number of guests – obviously so you can order your turkey.
This insures you won’t run out of green bean casserole, mashed potatoes or cranberry sauce…can you imagine?
I have a friend who gets so nervous about running out of food, she keeps a frozen turkey on hand…just in case. (She’s never needed it…)
Once all the food is ordered and various side dishes and or desserts have been prepared (or all set to be prepared tomorrow morning) I start to tackle the rest of this list.
Often called Latkes, these delicious potato pancakes are a family favorite!
This post first appeared here in December, 2011 – ten years later – it’s still a family favorite!
Since Hanukkah starts on Sunday, November 28th. – I thought I’d bring it back with a few updates made over the years.
These old fashioned crispy potato pancakes are one of my favorites…all year round.
However, during Hanukkah, they’re a traditional must have.
These delicious pancakes also get a gold star for being about one of the only foods that my entire family will eat.
While I’m admittedly not the best cook, I know I make these really well…so, I thought I’d share my recipe here.
Included are also some fabulous “insider” tricks and tips (some passed down to me, others discovered after a few years on my own!).
Happy Hanukkah and hope you enjoy one of our favorite recipes.
