We trust that we got you pretty smitten with our rustic setting inspiration for a Thanksgiving party<\/a>? Well, it doesn\u2019t stop there. Next to family, food is what this beloved holiday is all about! So, you guessed it\u2014we have a delectable array of hearty, homestyle dishes to go with the party-in-a-barn ambiance. We can\u2019t wait to have you delight your loved ones with this menu, and have one of your most memorable Thanksgivings ever!<\/p>\n

Hearty, Homestyle Thanksgiving Dishes<\/h2>\n

As family members start arriving\u2014and admiring all the rustic decorations you\u2019ve prepared\u2014 impress them even more by serving a country-style charcuterie<\/strong>. On a slab of wood or a large cutting board, lay out a spread of sliced cold meats (ham, sausages, salami), special cheeses, fresh and dried fruits, nuts, olives. Simple to prepare, but very stylish to look at!<\/p>\n

\"Rustic<\/p>\n

Announce the feast that\u2019s about to be served using a quaint chalkboard menu<\/strong> adorned with berry branches. And what a feast it will be indeed! Your favorite Thanksgiving turkey<\/strong>, whether it\u2019s one you\u2019ve prepared using Grandma\u2019s heirloom recipe or ordered pre-roasted and ready to carve. As accompaniments, serve well-loved condiments and side dishes such as cornbread and chorizo stuffing<\/strong>, spicy sweet potato wedges<\/strong>, homemade cranberry sauce<\/strong>, pumpkin-shaped bread rolls<\/strong> served with cinnamon butter, and roasted asparagus<\/strong> drizzled with lemon juice.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, most of the links to these amazing dishes include recipes. So give them a try, and enjoy! And to round out this grand family gathering, you must be back for our post on Thanksgiving desserts. Of course, still in keeping with the rustic party setting!<\/p>\n
