Today’s roundup is sure to get you hungry, thirsty, and all around psyched AF for your upcoming Friendsgiving festivities!
For some Thanksgiving celebrations, friends are family.
It’s called Friendsgiving, a gathering of friends over a Thanksgiving feast. Breaking out the slow cooker doesn’t have to mean Mom is in town. Usually, the host makes a turkey and guests bring sides, potluck-style. It often promises many of the usual traditional dishes, sweet potato casserole and pie included, but it can be a time to break culinary traditions.
Friendsgiving might have started among college students or coworkers who didn’t have a place to go or ability to travel home for the holiday. But, Friendsgiving now can also mean a time to share a meal with friends in addition to Thanksgiving with family. Friendsgivings also might not happen on Thanksgiving day, but simply near the holiday. Read more.
