FRIENDSGIVING RECAP + FESTIVE RECIPES
I hosted my first real Friendsgiving a couple years ago when I was living in the city and I don’t know why It took me so long to host one!
It was so fun and with a little preparation it was super easy. It only took a few hours to pull together and considering I drove from Maryland to NYC the morning of the Friendsgiving I appreciated picking recipes that were easy and not super time consuming.
see below for some of my fave recipes + easy Friendsgiving decor ideas!
food
TIP: if you’re lacking time or oven space, opt for dishes that can be previously put together before baking (like the night before or morning of), or finger foods (hot or cold) that can be quickly and easily grabbed by guests.
drinks
THANKSGIVING HARVEST PUNCH
4 oz of Deep Eddy Original Vodka

Pro tip: Add a splash or two of champagne to your liking!
Mocktail Version: Leave out the Deep Eddy Vodka for a fun and festive mocktail option that’s sure to be a hit for all ages.
