Ah, Thanksgiving. Truly one of the best holidays of the year.
All the warmth and togetherness of Christmas with wayyyyy less stress. Sure, something will get spilled and at least one kid will cry… Uncle Bob might bring up American politics. Hmmm…..now that we think about it, you might want to also check out our wine recommendations, just so you’re prepared. Get 2 extra bottles.
Oh but there’s turkey, and potatoes, cranberries, and dessert. YUM! Did we mention the desserts?! Check out the Thanksgiving cupcake line up we have for you below! Thanksgiving is all about family, togetherness and being thankful. But let’s be honest, we all show up because of the soul-warming eat-until-you-feel-like-you’re-going-to-barf food. And also a little because your mom made you.
We’ve scouted out the best places to get your LOCAL Thanksgiving goods so you can create the perfect feast for your family this year. All you have to do is cook! Or get someone else to cook… or pick up dinner already cooked, put it on your own serving platters and lie to grandma about making it all yourself. What eve-s, just eat local!
