Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. I think it’s the
culmination of many of the things I enjoy—time with my family, great food,
comforting rituals and friendly conversation.
But why should Thanksgiving be the only memorable meal of
the year? There are many aspects of Thanksgiving that we can incorporate
into everyday meals. Especially after a tumultuous day, the time spent at the
dinner table should be a calming ritual where we can reconnect. But if your
family is anything like our family was a year ago, meals were more mayhem than
merry.
Slowly, we found little things that made meals with the
family much more enjoyable (including the fantastic Crunch a Color™ game).
Surprisingly, many of the things we’ve learned are things we do at Thanksgiving
too, but I never made the connection until now.
Here are a few tips to bring the best of Thanksgiving to our
family meals the other 364 days of the year:
